Stand Bags
If you don't mind playing in wet weather but want a golf bag that will help keep your clubs dry then the Dri Lite Hybrid Plus is designed to keep the water out. In fact, the material and zippers will hold firm against a rainstorm that produces the equivalent of 78 inches of precipitation a day. It is one of the best golf stand bags in the game right now, thanks to how easy it is to use, carry and the storage options it delivers.
It's also a fairly lightweight option and comes in at around 2kg. It features a lovely dual padded strap system that makes it very easy and comfortable to carry, plus we had no issues with the legs on this option which unfolded nicely when setting it down to play your ball. It comes with a 14-way divider system for your clubs, which, depending on whether you're a fan of this system or not, is a big bonus that we don't often see on the best golf stand bags. But like a cart bag, it will also easily attach to any of the best golf push carts or electric trolleys thanks to its flat bottom. Storage options are not an issue here either and this bag comes with eight large pockets that provide ample storage space for all your golf equipment.

Cobra Ultradry Pro 2023 Stand Bag
There is a lot to like about this excellent, high-performance golf bag from Cobra. The Ultradry Pro, as the name suggests, is a waterproof and easy to carry golf bag that will keep all your golf gear well protected in the harshest of conditions. It is one of the best lightweight golf bags around and worked really well to keep all our golf gear dry on the golf course. It's made of a lightweight material that is combined nicely with dry-sealed zippered pockets that, once again, help to keep your gear completely dry.
At the top of this bag, you'll see it comes with a very handy five-way divider which works really well on the course. One interesting and rather unique addition here was the well-padded Swivel Straps on the bag that make it very easy to carry around the golf course. Essentially, as you put the bag on, it will move to the adjusted height, something which worked really well on sidehill and undulating lies and walks.
There are six pockets to choose from on the UltraDry Pro which, although sufficient, aren't necessarily practical, with the largest pocket quite difficult to access, especially when there's a large bottle of water, or a pair of waterproofs in it. Above the large pocket, there is a smaller one which, it seems, is only there to hold the waterproof top that goes over the clubs, although you could use it for other necessities if needs be. Overall, this is one of the best golf stand bags available right now!
