Travel covers

[Blue in Munich]

Need to buy a travel cover for airline travel. Ideally I want one that supports all the weight as since Mrs. BiM's injury she is less able to assist with luggage. The two I've seen are either the Sun Mountain Club Glider which has a set of swing out legs, or various other brands that have 4 wheels on the base meaning the weight is supported but the bag stands vertically. Anyone got any experience or comments on these, or alternative suggestions for a weight bearing travel cover?

Thanks.

This is the one I have - does everything I need fits loads in it on the odd occasion I have used it 😂 A mate has the Sun Mountain , pretty good and think it can stand up as well as on the well that come out

When are you going away mate

I just bought a club glider, as I needed a new travel bag and it looked like the best option. It's really well made and is easy to manoeuvre in my tests at home. However I am not travelling with it for a couple of months yet, so can't report on how it handles a trip.

If you have any questions or want specific photos of it, let me know.

I have the Big Max Aqua. 4 wheels on the base as well as two large trundle wheels.
When the bag is upright it can be easily manoeuvred on the base wheels with little to no effort.

Granted I haven't used it for a while but I would reckon even with my arm problem I could still move it about fully loaded.

Got to his one Rich.
Nice and padded and easy to roll on the wheels


I am away late March but if it’s before or after you are welcome to borrow it

Thanks John. How big is it internally and how well balanced when it's upright?

Thanks Greig, same as to John, how big is it internally and how well balanced or stable when it's upright?

Thanks Dibby, which model and how big internally please? I've got a Titleist waterproof cart bag that is probably the biggest thing I'll try using.

Club glider is great - almost steers itself. Really easy to push.

Massive inside. I used to get all my clothes in there as well for 4 days.

Bigger than the clubglider internally. I tried the clubglider before getting the Big Max as the wheels were hard to control.

Sun mountain club glider user here. Works a treat, and fits my cart bag in without issue. Could get more in if required too. Used it for a few trips now, and hasn’t let me down. Pack it well and clubs arrive at the other end without issue

Clubglider Tour model. I'll measure it up later, but my cart bag easily fits inside it, with the pockets stuffed, and there is still space for a few extra bits like shoes if desired.

Rich I've got one of the hardcase ones. Plenty of room for a large bag and has 4 wheels on the base so you can glide it around when upright. Used it for a few trips now and apart from the usual cosmetic scuffs it's bearing up very well. I was concerned about the weight at first but even fully packed with a few extra bits in there as well it's always been comfortably under the weight allowance. Never have to worry about damage to the clubs. You are welcome to borrow it

Dibby, are the external pockets lockable?

Wabinez, can I ask which model and are the external pockets lockable?

Gordon, thanks very much for the offer, I'm hoping to need one of these more regularly so I'm definitely buying one.

I'm using mine mid March but you're welcome to borrow it when I'm back 😁😁

Takes a tour bag with ease Rich.
Balance is ok, but guess a lot depends on how its packed mate.
I normally pack the top out with old towels etc for more protection

Cheers mate, I've brought one now for m trip to Portugal

 

[Dibby]

Dibby, are the external pockets lockable?

Yes, they have 2 zips, with eyes on them that slot together to take a small padlock.

Brilliant, thank you Dibby, decision made. I owe you a beer

Wabinez, thanks for the PM response but don't worry, I now have the information I need.
