Jones Sports Co Trouper R
Not only is the Jones Sports Co. Trouper R quickly becoming a favorite for walkers, it’s also got plenty of space to carry whatever you need for your round.
It’s Jones’ most sustainable offering yet, made from a recycled, ripstop material, woven from 100% PET single-use plastic bottles.
Perhaps the best part is the large cooler taking the place of the ball pocket on the spine that can fit four 16 oz cans!
Sunday Golf Loma Bag
The lightest golf bag on the market and one of the absolute best. This innovative bag is well-designed and convenient, with plenty of storage space (including a velour valuables zipper pouch, two large side pockets, a front pocket, and an insulated zipper cooler pouch). It has a two-way divided top and holds up to six golf clubs comfortably (but you can squeeze a couple more in there from my experience). And all the while, the Sunday Loma weighs just under 2 lbs.
Yes, just 2 lbs.! It’s easy to keep this bag in your trunk in case you want to swap a few clubs over for a walking round.
Vessel LUX Cart Bag
The Vessel LUX Cart bag offers a superior riding experience with well-planned organization and pocket placement. It’s more of a slim build, and Vessel makes these bags using Tour-grade synthetic leather.
It’s tough yet elegant — the Vessel LUX Cart Bag truly is luxe. Each LUX Cart bag includes a neoprene cart strap sleeve to alleviate wear and tear caused by cart straps, so you can keep your bag pristine.
You can buy the LUX bag in 7 different colors. Tap here to shop the Vessel LUX Cart Bag in more colors.
Vessel Sunday III Stand Bag
This golf bag may have the word “Sunday” in the name, but make no mistake, the Vessel Sunday III Stand is equipped to meet the everyday needs of the modern walking golfer.
Weighing in at 4.55 lbs, this double-strapped bag, which easily converts to a single strap, is ideal for the player who carries it every day, while still having plenty of room with five pockets.
Sun Mountain 2.5+ Stand Bag
Sun Mountain 2024 2.5+ STAND BAG
Designed for the avid walking golfer, the 2.5+ redefines the features that can be offered in an ultralight golf bag. It has contoured, high-density foam shoulder straps for carry comfort, a roomy, 7.5” top and six pockets including a beverage pouch. All of this and it still weighs under three pounds.
Comfy to carry, avid walkers will love this bag. At just under 3 lbs., this is the lightest bag on our stand bag list and has a 4-way divided top, allowing for a well-organized club assortment. The 2024 2.5+ bag is extra spacious and super light, durable and sleek.

Sun Mountain Mid-Stripe
Sun Mountain Mid-Stripe Dual Strap Stand Bag
The patent-pending, Mid-Stripe Stand Bag is a vinyl golf bag manufactured with care and modern style. We combined the tradition of vinyl with the features Sun Mountain is known for such as a bag top with a built-in handle; durable, easy-to-operate leg system; and ample pockets, including a double velour-lined valuables pocket.
When I decided I was ready to purchase a more luxury-minded bag, designed to last me several years, I went with Sun Mountain’s new Mid-Stripe collection.
This is Sun Mountain’s latest and most notable entry into the luxury bag space, and it’s a hit with an array of bright colors and durable vinyl material.
The bag is currently offered in nine color combinations, with more on the way, and several variations including the slimmer and lighter Mid-Stripe Ace (my personal bag of choice), a cart bag and a number of matching accessories. The bag styles can be customized further between a 4- or 14-way top, a double or single strap and a custom metal plate with a logo or initials.
Sun Mountain 2024 C-130 Cart Bag
Sun Mountain 2024 C-130 Cart Bag
The C-130, Sun Mountain’s best-selling cart bag, was created to work optimally on a riding cart. All features are designed with cart use in mind.
The C-130 is Sun Mountain’s best-selling cart bag for good reason. The description on this bag says “…it was created to work optimally on a riding cart,” and I highly agree.
The pockets are forward-facing when the bag’s on the cart. Sun Mountain designed this bag for ultimate functionality and a cart rider’s convenience.
Jones Sports Co Rover R
This bag only weighs 3.8 pounds and features a 2-way divided top, holds up 14 clubs, and comes with the option to choose double or single straps (but it comes with both straps for free).
The Rover R has ample storage — six pockets with a velcro glove patch. Whether you’re an amateur or a seasoned pro, this bag is designed with you in mind.
The new Jones R-series features a recycled, ripstop material woven from 100% PET single-use plastic bottles.
Miura MacKenzie Original Walker Bag Canvas
Minimalism has returned with a vengeance with today’s golf bags and this Miura-MacKenzie collaboration captures the trend perfectly.
The waxed canvas design is made of sage waxed canvas from one of the oldest fabric finishers in the country.
MNML MV2 Golf Bag
MNML MV2 Golf Bag
The MV2 Golf Bag is truly innovative and unique. We’ve reengineered the side pockets and ball pockets to create wider openings and more storage. The lightweight microsuede material has MV2 coming in at 5.5 lbs. It features insanely comfortable backpack-style straps and comfortably carries 14 clubs. Whether you’re playing 9, 18, or 36 holes, stay charged, hydrated, tread lightly, and record/share your experience by adding on the tech kit.
Another entry into the luxury bag space, the MNML MV2 might be the most unique one of them all.
Made from a lightweight microsuede material, the MV2 comes in at 5.5 lbs and offers the ability to add a phone charger directly into the bag.
