Stand Bags
There’s no question the H2NO Lite is one of the best golf bags in the Sun Mountain range and indeed one of the best waterproof golf bags on the market. Testing the H2NO Lite over a series of rounds, in differing weather conditions, we found it to be a bag that’s difficult to fault.
Providing great looks, with the color being not too garish, it really is a unique aesthetic. The quality of construction was also immediately obvious, as it’s made from a TPU-coated waterproof fabric that ensures no rain penetrates the interior, which is a significant advantage wherever you are in the world. What’s more, all the seams are taped and sealed and the high-quality YKK waterproof zippers further bolster protection.
Once again, it has a lightweight feel and weighs in at just 2.3kg. Certainly it’s easy to carry, even when it’s packed to the rafters with your golf gear. There's also plenty of storage, as six pockets provide ample space for your belongings.

Sun Mountain H2NO Lite Speed Stand Bag
Within the range, there are five colours to choose from, with this very striking electric blue and white option being the choice for our test. The first thing to appreciate though is quite how light this bag is. Weighing just 2kg, there are still bundles of space with a four-way top.
Using this bag, we were seriously impressed by the layout, with it seemingly designed by someone who plays golf. Everything was in the correct place and we were very pleased with the particularly sizeable ‘hydration pouch’, which has room for a large bottle of whatever takes your fancy.
To carry, it has an X-Strap fitted dual strap and there’s even a padded hip part so the clubs aren’t constantly clanking against your body. Other nice touches are a small hook to attach your club-cleaning brushes or your bag tags, and your umbrella can easily be hidden away.

Sun Mountain Two5 Plus Stand Bag
A brand synonymous with high-quality, Sun Mountain's Two5 Plus bag is a model that certainly lives up to the premium, performing name. In testing, the first thing we noticed was the styling, which is modern and looks great. As you can see, the model we tested was finished in white, black and red, a more muted design, but there are several other funky finishes too.
There is a lot to like about this bag, with one of those things being how lightweight it is. Despite being equipped with a full set of golf clubs, golf balls and the pockets bursting with other pieces of golf gear, it was incredibly easy to carry and is easily one of the best lightweight golf bags around. Speaking of carrying, the X-Strap system was another excellent feature.
Equipped with five pockets, it has a 4-way divider and a very reliable stand that won't cause any issues out on the golf course. Too often, we have tested bags that have stands which do not protrude out far enough. This means, in windy conditions or uneven lies, they lose balance and fall over easily. We had no such issues here.

Sun Mountain Eco-Lite EWP 14 Way Stand Bag
Going a step further than the Eco-Lite, Sun Mountain have also introduced an EWP version of the bag. The difference between the two models is the EWP moniker in the product names. EWP stands for Enhanced Weather Protection and, as such, it is fully waterproof, making it a bag you can use all year round.
The EWP design performed just as well as the regular model, with it being extremely comfortable, lightweight and convenient to use. Importantly, it provided ample storage, making this a top performer in the stand bag market.
One final positive worth mentioning is that the bag is made from Repreve fabric, which is made using recycled plastic bottles. Approximately twenty-five 20-oz bottles go into the material, which is a design element worth applauding.

Sun Mountain Eco-Lite 2023 Stand Bag
For golfers who like to carry their clubs, having a bag that is lightweight is vitally important, and the Eco-Lite from Sun Mountain is one of the best for this. It weighs just 4lbs and provides superb comfort whilst carrying. This is thanks to the padded straps, which can be adjusted easily.
In weight, it’s akin to a Sunday or pencil bag but, in storage, it does compromise a touch when compared to other stand bags. The bag has four pockets, including a valuables pocket and larger pocket on the outer side. The pockets aren't particularly large, so for golfers who like to carry lots of extra layers or drinks, the pocket space fills up very quickly.
Although it isn’t fully waterproof, it is made using water-resistant fabric, which we found offered reasonably extensive protection. It wasn’t until the heavens really opened that some water began to penetrate the fabric, and even then it was minimal.
