The new Sun Mountain 2Five is the lightest, full-featured bag on the market, weighing in at the scant two and a half pounds. Sun Mountain reduced weight by using carbon-fiber legs, high strength-to-weight plastics, and ultra-lightweight and durable fabrics like those used in mountaineering tents. 2Five is offered in 11 different colors at $219.99.

2 ½ pounds? That’s about the same weight as two wedges, or a pair of golf shoes, or three cans of a coke. It’s like lifting off, as the bag almost seems to launch off the ground.
Meticulous attention to detailincludes:
- ultra-lightweight and durable 70 denier fabrics like those used in outdoor equipment applications such as mountaineering tents
- super light, highly durable carbon fiber legs instead of the normal aluminum legs
- high strength-to-weight plastic top and bottom
2Five is a full-size golf bag featuring a 9” top with a flared opening for easy club removal and four, full-length club dividers. It doesn’t skimp on conveniences, offering four pockets including a full-length clothing pocket, velour-lined valuables pocket, water bottle pouch, and ball and accessory pocket.
2Five also includes a durable top with built-in handle, sturdy bottom with the patented Roller-Bottom leg mechanism for quick and strong leg action, Sun Mountain’s proprietary X-Strap Dual Strap System, lumbar hip pad with AirFlow System, umbrella attachment, towel holder, top-mounted leg mechanism for added stability, pen holder, and a coordinating rain-hood.
Available in 11 different color combinations including the expected navy, black, and green as well as lime, lemon, orange, and purple.
