HID has one of their waterproof cart bags and it works.

Thanks Chellie, the problem I have is that stand bags tend to be smaller and have less storage space.

After getting soaked this week I've just ordered one of these - I hope they are as good (and waterproof) as they look.

I've got.an ouul bag, certainly showerproof but hasn't been out in a real downpour yet.

These seem a huge bargain mate?

Massive bargain! Be interesting to see the quality ? bag market has got over priced IMHO.

I've got that bag.
It's faced some harsh downpours and been good as gold.

Only grumble is it is ever so slightly shorter than previous carry bags so can't chuck it on the trolley.

Excellent news that people are having good experiences with the waterproof side of it as that's my main concern.

Like more I'll have to "de-clutter" my existing bag to fit everything in, but that's fine if it keeps my stuff dry.

My mate bought one. says It’s top quality

No waterproof valuables pocket though I believe.

That is a good price.

Totally agree the bag market is over-priced. Sun Mountain carry bags over £250 now.

They are a bit ugly imo

While they won't be to everyone's tastes, the look doesn't bother me too much.

However it's the fact they are waterproof that appeals (and the fact they don't cost the thick end of £150)

What am I missing here - don't you only need waterproof valuables pocket on a non-waterproof bag?

I was meaning more the waterproofness of it. I know in winter when I carry I have to declutter my bag massively.

I’m Just quoting my mate verbatim.

Could be he means no pocket within his waterproof bag is cloth lined or soft etc for valuables.

Dunno

West Lancs 4bbb open had a sales rack in the reception area 50% off. Had Galvin Green, Oscar Jacobson, UA and Ivanhoe gear on for bargain prices. Walked away with an Ivanhoe (I really like their stuff) jumper £120 down to £60 and I had to walk away before shelling out on a tonne of stuff I don't need!

Great deal, thanks. Am I right in saying the Q Star Tour is the AD333 Tour rebranded?

I found this very interesting and informative;

I don't think they're waterproof, I think they are water resistant so not sure how they'll cope in steady rain.
I maybe wrong though ........................ it has been known!

I’ve got one and so far so good in a few wet sessions. That’s a good price for it too

Don't think any bag is water proof because of the gaps etc so they won't guarantee it

Reading up on bag
Combining Big Max's water-resistant technology with their unique Hybrid base, this bag is just as comfortable on a buggy as it is being carried.The Dri Lite technology ensures that the bag has a 2,000mm waterproof reading meaning that unless you're playing in a storm, you should keep your gear nice and dry.

Big max guarantee their waterproof bags for two years. The aqua range.

Drilite range is not waterproof but merely water resistant so doesn’t have a guarantee. It might be that water resistant is good enough, I guess you will find out. They are certainly a lot cheaper than the waterproof bags.

Not many manufacturers quote the waterproof rating so it is difficult to compare.
Think Benross quote 10,000 for theirs
