I don’t know that the Sunday Coaster travel bag is the absolute best travel bag I’ve ever used But there is a couple reasons why it’s the one I have reached for more than any other on my last few golf trips. Let’s talk about it In the world of golf travel bags, I’ve found that there is no one perfect travel bag. There are a few that have gotten close, some are more durable than others, some are bigger than others, some are more convenient than others, but there isn’t one that kind of just does it all. And that hasn’t changed with the Sunday poster There are a handful of things that aren’t necessarily my favorite about it, but there are also some that I absolutely love But before we jump into all the details on that, let’s talk about first impressions. Overall, I think this is a really good looking bag I like the fact that it’s all black. It’s understated. They’re not doing any weird crazy color blocking, which some brands do. Obviously, if you’re someone who does like a little bit more color, a little bit more flair, then this probably isn’t going to be the best option for you. But personally, I really like the way it looks, and I’m just not someone who’s trying to make a statement with their golf travel bag When it comes to golf travel bags, you will generally see two different styles when it comes to the zipper. One goes straight down the middle, and the bag opens up like this. The other is more of a suitcase style, where you basically go down corner around. This is the ladder And the more that I’ve used bags like this, the more that I’ve learned that I just kind of prefer them One of my biggest knocks on both the club glove bags I’ve used, as well as the Sun Mountain Club glider, is the fact that they just don’t have quite as much space as I would like. So when you’re trying to pack in shoes and jackets and a few miscellaneous things on top of your golf bag, by having that zipper go down the middle, you often just find yourself lacking space, and I’m having to like fight with the bag to get it all zipped up, and it’s kind of a whole thing With bags that open from the side, like this one from Sun Mountain or the Ghost AWOL, you basically unzip it, you flip it over, and you just have a whole lot more space with which to work with. It’s easier to cram more stuff in there And that really brings us to the reason why I like this sun mountain bag so much is that it has more space than pretty much any other golf travel bag I have used Now, if I’m taking, like, a quick weekend trip, I’m only going to play a couple rounds. I don’t necessarily need to pack a lot of different shoes. All I’m doing is basically going out to the golf course. You don’t necessarily need all that extra space But if you’re taking a longer trip, having some versatility into what you can pack is really nice. As an example, a few weeks ago, I went to Nova Scotia on a full week long road trip five rounds of golf, some nice dinners, some hiking, wanting to work out, as well as the fact that I was going to Nova Scotia late in the year, so weather was kind of all over the map, and I wanted to make sure I packed rain gear, because of all of the stuff we were doing on this trip, I wanted to make sure that I packed for every occasion, and the Sun Mountain bag allowed me to do that And here comes the rain. Walking off 18. So the main part of the bag itself is pretty spacious, but the thing they have done that I haven’t seen any other brand do is they actually have a zip off compression cube on the top of the bag Now, honestly, the fact that this zips off, that doesn’t really mean much to me. You might be someone where you’re like, “Oh, I don’t want to take my travel bag into the hotel, so I’m going to pack some clothes and a few things in that, you zip it off, you just carry that into the hotel. That might be kind of nice But for me, the reason this is such a game changer is because I can pack a whole bunch of shoes in there So without any issues at all, I was able to fit three pairs of size 12 shoes in this extra pocket on the bag Not only that, I could fit an additional pair of two along with my re gear in the main section of the bag So to be able to comfortably travel with my golf bag, all my accessories, my re gear, and five different pairs of shoes I mean, most golf bags can’t do that in either the club glove or the Sun Mountain Club Glider, I struggle to get two pairs of shoes in there, and you might be thinking, “Wow, five pairs of shoes on a golf trip. Like, that seems like you’re overpacking. I get it. Like, that kind of. is overpacking, but I usually have two pairs of golf shoes, I have a pair of dress shoes, I have a pair of workout shoes, pair of flip flops So when you think about what you’re actually using on a vacation or a golf trip or whatever it is, you know, shoes are one of those things that you tend to want more of, and they tend to be tougher to pack. So to be able to pack in, basically as many pairs of shoes as I want and not think about it or feel guilty about it That is like the magic to me with what this Sunday bag allows you to do When it comes to build quality, it feels super solid. Like the top definitely feels very padded, more so than some other bags I have used It doesn’t feel as bulletproof as the club club systems And when you try and stand it up on its own, so say you’re like, checking in at the airport, you’re like, you’ve got your bags sitting there, I found that it doesn’t stand up on its own quite as easily And that could be because I did have a bunch of shoes packed into that extra pocket, so maybe it did something to the weight distribution It’s not a huge deal, not something that should stop you from buying the bag, but it is something that I have noticed There are five different handles on the bag, which generally work very well. The one thing I will say, and this is the same issue I had with the Ghost Golf AWOL bag, is there isn’t one right in the center, right on the top, so I can basically just kind of pick the bag up like that There are a couple handles on that compression pocket that kind of work, but the balance isn’t quite right. It’s not quite where I want to be to just kind of pick it up and carry it But I have found the position of those handles to work better than they did on the AWOL bag from Ghost Rolling the bag around feels great, super high quality, the handle at the very top of the bag that you will be pulling it with, definitely robust, feels good. So I’ve got no issues there, aside from the fact that every time I amm dragging this thing, through the airport, I wish that it had that club glider system from Sun Mountain If you haven’t seen the Club Glider bag, if you haven’t heard me talk about it, well, let me enlighten you, because it is amazing. Essentially, what that bag does is it’s got an extra set of wheels that you pop out. It’s now sitting on four wheels instead of two, and and it makes pushing or pulling this thing through the airport so simple. Literally, one finger, it just goes with you. It’s so good that my four year old can take my golf bag through the airport And that’s why, for the last couple of years, I primarily been using that Sun Mountain B, because it is so good, and it is so convenient. Despite the fact, it’s a little bit smaller than some others, and the fact it doesn’t feel quite as durable as some others, but that convenient, when you’re pulling it, is just so nice One other nice little feature is they actually built in a hidden pocket for an air tag, if you have ever lost your luggage, you know how much of a game changer, at least having the peace of mind of knowing where it is by having that air tag can be Sure, you could totally keep that in a pocket inside your actual golf bag But having a dedicated spot for that that just lives in there forever, I’ve found to be really nice So right now, you’re probably watching this, and you’re like, okay, that sounds great. But which golf bag should I buy? And like I said, there is no one perfect golf travel bag. But I will say this has made it into the rotation of the bags I I use on a regular basis So let me see if I can help make this decision easier for you Retail price of this bag is listed at $360. This is just fancy marketing. I don’t think it’s ever actually that price. They do it so that they can say it’s on sale for $325, which is where you will typically see it. You can also click our special link below. When you add the product to a cart, it will offer you another 15% discount, which is going to bring the bag down to $276. Obviously, I will get a commission if you do that, so if you think that makes me biased, go do your own research, but I think this is kind of a win win for everybody, assuming you decide this is the bag that you want The $2 276 bucks for this bag, I think, is a really good value makes it significantly cheaper than the retail price on either the club club bags or the Sun Mountain Club Glider or the ghost AWOLL, which are kind of the bags that I’ve typically looked at So, back to the question. Should you buy it If your biggest concern is space, if you’re the type of person that wants to pack in as much stuff as possible into your golf travel bag and not worry too much about it, getting overloaded, getting overflowing, or not having enough space, I think this is the bag you should buy I just found it to be so nice to be able to put all those shoes in there, be able to put my wrear in. When I come home to be able to buy some stuff where I am and bring back a gift for my wife or my daughter, and just kind of throw that in there. Having this much space in a travel bag is just a joy, and it is bigger than any of the other travel bags I have tested. And the fact that you get all of that at a price that is cheaper than most of those bags, I think is excellent That being said, if space isn’t a concern for you, if you generally have a smaller carry bag, you’re not trying to shove a whole bunch of stuff in there Then I would personally get the Sun Mountain Club Glider. It is just so wildly convenient. Whenever I do travel with the Sunday bag, I miss having that feature when I’m in the airport. But once I arrive and I’ve got all the shoes that I want want and I’ve got all of the things that I like I am reminded by why I chose to bring that particular bag So for me, shorter trips, not as much stuff. I go Sun Mountain Longer trips, lots of stuff, I go Sunday Club glove, also great. I think it’s the most durable. Ghosts AWOL, totally fine. I just don’t personally like the branding So for me, the two I would buy with my own money are either this Sunday bag or the Sun Mountain bag I will leap below to my full recap of the best golf travel bags where I compare all of these bags in more depth. Anytime I have a new bag that I test, it’s easier for me to add it there than it is to create a whole new video about travel bagss. So if you’re watching this six months down the line, definitely go take a look at that to see if there’s anything else that is worth considering That being said, if you buy any of the bags that I mentioned this video, I think you’re going to be totally happy. But the Sunday and the Sun Mountain, those are definitely the two that I have personally enjoyed the most. With that, my name’s Sean O,’m the founder of this thing here, Breaking A.
