Since its introduction, Sun Mountain’s 2Five golf bag has been among the lightest, full-featured bags on the market. Weight-saving components include carbon-fiber legs, high strength-to-weight plastics and an ultra-lightweight fabric. For 2018, the new 2.5+ will have increased durability and comfort plus additional storage space.
“We added the equivalent weight of two golf balls but raised durability, comfort and pocket space,” said Ed Kowachek, President of Sun Mountain Sports. “We’re satisfied with that trade off and think golfers will be, too.”
Some details on the improvements include:
- Added durability with a move from 70 denier to 100 denier fabric
- Increased comfort with wider shoulder straps and more cushiony padding
- Added storage with a new, zippered spine pocket and a dedicated beverage pouch
2.5+ is a full-size golf bag featuring a 9” top and four, full-length club dividers. It doesn’t skimp on conveniences, offering five pockets including a full-length clothing pocket, velour-lined valuables pocket, two accessory pockets and a beverage pouch.
Other features also include 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 shoulder strap system, lumbar hip pad with AirFlow System, umbrella attachment, towel holder, top-mounted leg mechanism for added stability, pen holder and a color-coordinating rain hood. The bag is available in eight separate color combinations.
