Nike Sport Carry Lite

Nike trims the fat with the Nike Sport Carry Lite golf bag, their lightest carry bag to date. At under 4 pounds don't expect the Sport Carry Lite to have all the features of heavier carry bags, but there are still a reasonable amount of accessories, and the bag provides exceptional value at $130.

Sun Mountain Front 9

Sun Mountain goes into the depths of their marketing material and resurrects the 'Front 9' model name after nearly 30 years. Now that is old school. Plus, think of the savings – no need to hire more consultants to come up with golf gear model names that are in ALL CAPS like most manufacturers. The Front 9 is Sun Mountain's lightest, at 4 pounds, and least expensive carry bag. Three full-length dividers and six pockets are the basics you get.

Callaway Hyper-Lite 5

We have appreciated previous Callaway carry bags in our tests, and the Hyper-Lite (HL) 5 follows suit. The Callaway Hyper-Lite 5 weighed in at just over 5 pounds (the bag "number" doesn't specifically indicate weight), and has 8 pockets. Comparing to the latest iteration of the Hyper-Lite 4, the Hyper-Lite 5 has a larger top (9" v 8.5") and 5 full-length dividers (versus 4 on the Hyper-Lite 4). Oh, and a bit lower price, which we can't explain, but we certainly won't complain about. It’s a solid bag, with integrated foot stand, and good shoulder and hip padding.

Sun Mountain Three 5 Zero-G

The beauty of the Sun Mountain Zero-G is still the belt strap, which takes much of the weight of the bag off of your aching shoulders and redistributes it to your hips and legs. It’s a bit pricey, but anyone with a bad back can tell you that money becomes no object compared to lumbar pain. Read on for our full Sun Mountain Three 5 Zero-G carry bag review.

OGIO Aquatech

There are those of us that are fair-weather players, and those of us that aren't. For those who are more like the Bishop, there is the OGIO Aquatech.

Features include a waterproof rain hood (of course), a lightweight waterproof fabric that makes up the bag itself, a waterproof fleece lined valuables pocket and cell phone sleeve, and thermo welded (whatever that is...) waterproof pockets.

Callaway Hyper-Lite 4.0

The Callaway Hyper-Lite 4.0 is a solid performer – there’s nothing radical about it, but it delivers what you need in a carry bag. The features include a 6-way top for club storage, pockets for everything you need, and exceptional padding both on in the shoulder straps and on the bag itself. Note that while it is marketed as "Hyper-Lite", the 4.9 lb. bag (as tested) was only slightly lighter than the average tested bag. Read on for our review of the Callaway Hyper-Lite 4.0.

Nike Vapor X Carry

The Nike Vapor X weighs approximately four pounds and enters as the lightest of the company's fully-featured carry bags. The curved Air shoulder straps are comfortable and the bag has storage for all the basics, though for us is on the small side, and we would trade off additional weight for a bag with slightly larger pockets. Though it carries a high retail price, the bag most often is found for less, including on Nike's own site. Read on for our review of the Nike Vapor X carry bag.

Nike Performance Carry

The Nike Performance Carry Bag, the heaviest of Nike's carry bags at 7 pounds, features a 14 full-length club dividers, 10 pockets, and a nice addition of their new S-curved shoulder straps. It's a sharp looking bag, though probably most at home on a push or riding cart, seemingly designed as a hybrid between a cart and carry bag. At an MSRP of $240(!) it's tough to recommend, though some quick searching at Amazon and others show it available for much, much less. Read on for our review of the Nike Performance Carry Bag.
