The Best Waterproof Golf Bags Of 2022

The Best Waterproof Golf Bags Of 2022

 

Playing golf in the driving
rain is hard enough, but it’s nigh-on impossible when your grips are drenched, and
your glove is wet through.

A reliable waterproof golf
bag is worth its weight in gold because if you can keep your clubs dry, you’ll
be able to focus on what really matters—hitting good golf shots.  

Manufacturers know that UK golfers are faced with unpredictable weather all year round, and if you’re in the market for a golf bag—stand or carry—you need it to be waterproof.

Of course, you also want a
bag that ticks all the boxes like comfort, style, and usability, but the
waterproof aspect is more often than not the dealbreaker.

There are models out there to
suit all tastes and preferences, and you’re sure to find one that you like in
our list.

Here’s our selection of the best waterproof golf bags of 2022.

lightest and most waterproof golf bags on the market, the four-way top with
full-length dividers allow you to separate your clubs as you please. Though
storage space is perhaps not as plentiful as other bags, this is a solid choice
for a quick round with your drivers kept at arm’s length.

The HyperDry C is slightly shorter than most other stand golf bags, with the focus here being very much on travelling light. Nevertheless, its zips are welded, and every seam is internally sealed to ensure 100% waterproof protection.

trolley—well, this jack-of-all-trades bag is the one for you.

The
HydroFLEX is made from super-lightweight waterproof fabric and is studded with
thermo sealed easy-open zips to provide maximum protection from the elements.
