Waterproof bag

[FELL75]

Any recommendations for a trolley bag? Given the rain these days my kit is getting a soaking. Looking at powakaddy dri tech or Motocaddy dry. Bought a Callaway recently which said it was waterproof but wasn't ?. Hence looking for personal experience rather than the product spiel. All suggestions gratefully received ?

Sun Mountain H2NO, not cheap but excellent

Cheaper solution that has worked for me is a rain cape. Still get access to the bag (good for carrying spare towels, gloves etc but keeps everything nice and dry.

BTW are we going to play soon? Might be able to get a day off during the week with a bit of notice but lets check the weather

Thanks, will take a look. Playing tomorrow. Weather looks better during the week how about Wednesday?

Might be feasible. Do you want to try and get a time and put me in (Martin Bedborough - should pop up if you type BED). I can always drop out if I can't get the day off but you'll still have a slot booked

Done? guess you'll be notified of time by the app?

Druids are selling waterproof bags for 100 quid at the moment. I've no idea if they're any good, but I think that's a pretty reasonable price for waterproof.

Which Callaway was it? I have the Hyperdry and have been out in monsoon conditions and it hasn't failed me yet.

Got H2n0 carry bag and its never let me down, previously had a stadry which was also superb.

Big Max, excellent waterproof bag and even better customer service.

Had a Sun Mountain which was waterproof but zips failed and customer service was non-existent.

Thanks all, going to go with a rain cover in the short term and have a closer look at some of the bags mentioned. Appreciate the replies.

Had a Sun Mountain which was waterproof but zips failed and customer service was non-existent.

Ditto with the zips and two straps broke within a few months as well.
I still use it with the busted front zip and carabina clips on the strap, but I'll never buy Sun Mountain again.

I've had a Titleist Stadry cart bag for nearly 4 years now and it still handles everything the Scottish climate can chuck at it. If definitely recommend it and a number of my friends have the same.

I got the titleist staydry premium cart bag this year and absolutely love it. It’s designEd on a staff bag but not as bulky and has 15 full dividers.

alternative is a Stewart Golf full bag cover. By far the best on the market as it has loads of zips to access you bag pockets.

Chev bag

Unfortunately "water resistant" is really just showerproof and is not the same as "waterproof", golf manufacturers probably get away with selling a lot like this when people think they're buying waterproof.

Sun Mountain or Titleist for me, probably the former.

I'd go further I think the manufacturers should have to quote the mm rating like for jackets - only a few do.
IMO it isn't a binary thing, I've seen some quoted at resistant that are higher than others quoting proof. Tough for the consumer.

I agree. They all have different opinions on what is waterproof, repellant, resistant or showerproof. it’s confusing as hell.

Have you seen them though? Utterly honkin'

Personally I think the difference in those examples is obvious, with the last 2 100% not being ‘waterproof’!

I’ve never seen a description with repellent used for golf bags ? but again, it’s not ‘waterproof’.

I was looking for a new bag last night and bought one of these again

Similar bag also can be seen as

Also available on ebay and in different colour

I have the earlier version for a few years now and have just bought another simple because my buggy has the straps in the wrong position creating bag wear. Apart from that as waterproof as the day I bought it.

This looks to be a similar bag
