This is the Storm Rider by Sunday Golf. Not yet. Okay. After I’m gonna Come on. Supposed to stick. All right. As I was saying, this is the Storm Rider golf bag by Sunday Golf. It’s a lot like the Rider, but with some key differences. Today, we’re going to explore the welded pockets, the high-tech zippers, and the other premium features. There are many pros and cons, but first, let’s go ahead and test out that waterproofing. I’m going to stick this script in this bag and we’re going to make sure that it doesn’t get any wetter than it already is because if it does then the bag’s a failure and the video will end because you know the script will be gone. All right, here we go. In the bag. Oh. Oh, good job. Yep. Really get in there and get it. Not my legs. The bag. Okay. All right. All right. All right. I’m sufficiently soaked and I think the bag is too. So, let’s go ahead and take a look at that script. Hopefully, yeah, it is dry as you can see. So, yeah, that’s pretty good. And everything in the bag is dry, too. Glove nice and dry. Tease dry band-aid. Nice and dry. All right, so we’ve made it back inside and let’s discuss the first feature, which is waterproofing. Really, the main feature of this bag and it’s a clear success. This gives you comfort knowing that you can leave your valuables such as your wallet, your keys, or your phone, and any of these pockets, and they’re not going to get wet if it rains out or if your buddy accidentally dumps his beer on your bag. So, what makes this possible? It’s all about the zippers, baby. See, anyone can slap some Goretex on a bag and call it good, but water is always going to enter at the weakest point, which is the connections of the bag. And therefore, if you don’t have good zipper design, then water is going to get in. These zippers deliver on that promise. At the top of the zipper, you have a little plastic covering, which ends up diverting water away from the enclosure. And then you also have a little plastic flap that comes over the top of the zipper where the connection is made. And that ends up making this watertight. These zippers are also very wellmade, which is true in every Sunday golf bag that I’ve reviewed. And zippers really can make or break a bag. I just really love that sound. Other features I like about this bag are the premium double mesh strap. It’s easy to adjust and doesn’t slip when walking. Along with that, the buckles on this are sturdy but easy to snap into place. The carry handle is sturdy and easy to use. The Velcro patch for the glove is perfect. And on this bag, you get not one but two towel rings, so you could have a wet towel and a dry towel at the same time. Or you could just hang a club brush. And of course, the stand system is topnotch. It deploys easily, retracts flawlessly, and seems very sturdy. The negative, in my opinion, is the lack of rubber on the end of the legs. This will cause the legs to spllay apart if the bag is resting on a slippery surface like the tile floor, but it is less of a problem on concrete or grass. Hey, future Clint here checking in. And while I was filming some B-roll for this video, I did note that the legs actually do have a little rubber cap on the end, which is supposed to help prevent the bag from spllaying out on a slippery surface. I did find in testing that with a full load of clubs, the legs can still spllay out, but I just wanted to point out that that was an inaccurate piece of information that I had earlier. So, I’ll uh get back to the B-roll. Thanks. Now, let’s go ahead and take a look at the top of the bag. Full length dividers are a must, and this bag has them with a fiveway top. And that brings us to a con, something that has even been pointed out on Sunday’s own website, club positioning. Looking at the design, we can notice that some of these compartments are pretty tight, especially the one that is curved. So, when you pull a club out or in, they can occasionally stick or get jammed. I have jumbo grips, so this isn’t a new feeling to me. And as a result, I haven’t run into many problems because I’m careful when putting my clubs back. While I occasionally had clubs stick while walking or using a push cart, I never experienced this while riding. If the bag is standing straight up, then there aren’t any problems. So, while walking, you can simply pop the bag up and the clubs will fall into place. But with a push cart, this could present some problems. For me, though, this hasn’t been a dealbreaker. And let’s take a look at another major bonus, and that is the design of the bottom of this bag. It has a hard, flat plastic shell that only flexes when deploying the stand system. And there is also a small cutout that makes it super easy to use with a push cart. In fact, it’s one of the easiest bags I’ve ever pushed. It goes on the cart and stays on the cart. So, that’s pretty much top to bottom design. Let’s go ahead and take a look at the pockets. There are six pockets on this bag. The top is a small valuables pocket, velour line of course, and it’s usually where I put my phone, wallet, and keys. Then we have a full length garment pocket. I usually store some rain gear here or an outer layer. It’s pretty large as it runs the full length of the bag. One thing to note is the rangefinder holder on the outside. I personally never use this as I don’t have a rangefinder, but it is a nice touch. The mini side pocket, aka the smellproof pocket, is nice and I like to use it for Sharpies and ball markers. You could throw a stinky glove in there as well, but honestly, I did not verify if the pocket was in fact smellproof. Now, come on over here. This is my favorite feature of this bag right here. On the outside of this pocket are tea holders. I love the placement. A lot of times you will see these placed above other pockets, underneath the carry handle, etc. But in my opinion, this is a much better option. you can easily get to your TE’s and push them all the way in or out. Now, let’s take a look at the Frosty Pocket, which I originally thought there was no way that Sunday Golf’s claims were true. I mean, look at the size of this pocket. There’s no way that you would think that four full-size cans of beer or whatever beverage you’re drinking is going to fit inside of this pocket. But upon further review, they actually do. Also, the inside looks like your old lunchbox, and that does keep drinks cool. You can even throw an ice pack in there with a beverage if you want. The ball pocket is also awesomely large. It has plenty of space for four sleeves of golf balls and can hold plenty of loose balls. The final side pocket can be utilized for just about anything. I like to throw my new gloves and rain gloves in this pocket to keep them separate from the rest of my gear. Finally, these are the dimensions and the price for the Storm Rider. Now, I know the bag isn’t cheap, but the materials on this are premium quality and will last a really long time. It’ll hold up to wear and tear in use, which is important in a golf bag. Plus, this bag looks really good. The all black colorway is clean. The branding is subtle, minimal, but well-designed, and the waterproofing is top-notch. If you don’t want or need the waterproofing, then you should probably check out the Ryder or the Ryder S-Class by Sunday Golf. Both are phenomenal bags, and I’ll have video reviews of those coming out soon. But this bag is so nice that it is my current gamer, and I didn’t come to that decision lightly. I’ve been using this bag for a while now, and I love the backpack system, the versatility, and how it looks. So, I have no trouble recommending this bag, especially if you’re looking for some extra protection from the weather. Thanks for watching this vid.
