<\/a><\/p>\nLooks\u00a0<\/p>\n
My previous travel bag was gray and red, and I loved having a unique color that stood out among the other bags on the carousel.\u00a0 I believe I am not alone in having anxiety while waiting for my clubs to come out, so I value the ability to know that it\u2019s my bag as soon as I see it.\u00a0 The Sun Mountain ClubGlider3 comes in eight different colors, so you have a great opportunity to choose something that fits your personality.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
There is a Thermoform-molded casing that is visible from the outside at the top of the bag.\u00a0 This is designed to bring added protection to the club heads.\u00a0 When the kickstand is extended the bag sits at a 45 degree angle.\u00a0 Upon first glance, it looks like the bag is about to tip over, but it stays in place and sits at the perfect height to grab it as you continue along your journey. [See Price \/ Buy<\/a>]<\/p>\n Features<\/p>\n The patented kickstand is what sets the The Sun Mountain ClubGlider3 apart from other travel bags.\u00a0 When extended, the bag rolls on four wheels and stays at a 45 degree angle.\u00a0 Initially I did not think this was a necessary or helpful feature, but I was wrong.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Even though you always check your golf bag when flying, you generally have a long walk to the ticketing counter that involves a lot of stopping and starting as you wait in line, board trams, and go up and down escalators.\u00a0 The added wheels keep the bag at a perfect angle, so you never have to lay the bag on the ground, or try to stand it up vertically as you make your way through the airport.<\/p>\n Additionally, the Sun Mountain ClubGlider 3 has a built-in TSA lock.\u00a0 This works by locking the zipper pulls in place, so the bag can only be opened by a code you set or a TSA agent.\u00a0 There is an AirTag pocket on the inside of the bag, which gives me added motivation to buy an AirTag and keep track of my clubs as they fly.\u00a0 The airline that lost my clubs has a place in their online portal to link your AirTag, so they can use the information to help them find your bag.\u00a0 So don\u2019t let the AirTag pocket go to waste!<\/p>\n There are two large pockets on the outside of the Sun Mountain ClubGlider3.\u00a0 Each one of these pockets is big enough to fit one size 13 shoe.\u00a0 There are two mesh pockets inside of the bag that are too small for shoes.\u00a0 These would be good for stuffing in extra balls, towels, and rain gear.\u00a0 There is also a small strap on the inside of the bag with a hook for your keys.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Performance<\/p>\n The Sun Mountain ClubGlider3 travel bag\u2019s high quality wheels makes walking with clubs a breeze.\u00a0 They remind me of the smoothness of rollerblading indoors when I was younger.\u00a0 The extra wheels can spin around, so it makes turning very easy.\u00a0 <\/p>\n To extend the wheels, you stand up the bag vertically, pull the bar down, and the kickstand pops out. I appreciated that the kickstand has permanent graphics showing which direction to pull down.\u00a0 It requires both hands to get the kickstand out, one to hold the bag in place, and another to pull down the bar.\u00a0 If you are thinking of extending the legs while holding other luggage, this will not be possible.<\/p>\n The top of the Sun Mountain ClubGlider3 has a Thermoform-molded casing to protect your club heads.\u00a0 The bag is predominantly made out of a polyester ripstop fabric. The fabric feels thin, but Sun Mountain says it is weather and abrasion resistant.\u00a0 Durability is perhaps the most important feature in a travel bag.\u00a0 This is not a piece of equipment you want to be upgrading often, if ever.<\/p>\n There are four handles that help when loading, unloading, and bringing this bag wherever you need to go.\u00a0 The handles are sturdy.\u00a0 When paired with the ripstop fabric, there was no stressing, or extra pulling from any part of the bag.\u00a0 The Sun Mountain ClubGlider3 feels like this bag will last for many years to come.<\/p>\n Value<\/p>\n The Sun Mountain ClubGlider3 retails for $450.\u00a0 This is over $100 more than Club Glove\u2019s Last Bag [review HERE<\/a>], and Sunday Golf\u2019s Coaster Travel Bag [review HERE<\/a>].\u00a0 <\/p>\n The major difference is the kickstand wheels that come with the Sun Mountain ClubGlider3.\u00a0 Is this worth an extra $100?\u00a0 It is if you are a gear head who likes unique features on your equipment, or if you are someone who has a tough time lugging your clubs around through airports. [See Price \/ Buy<\/a>]<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/p>\n The Sun Mountain ClubGlider3 is a top of the line travel bag with a top of the line price point.\u00a0 I\u2019m always happy to spend money on my golf equipment, but I still try be smart with where the dollars are allocated.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t had trouble transporting my clubs, so the extra wheels would not be worth the extra cost for me.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have a golf budget, want a fun toy, or have trouble lugging your clubs through the airport, this bag will not disappoint.\u00a0 It has everything you need \u2013 and more!\u00a0 [See Price \/ Buy<\/a>]<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Total protection.
