What are you guys wimps? LOL It is not that bad i could easy walk 18 no problem. When you buy a high quality bag it is impossible to get one in the 4.5 pound range.I know Sun Mountains are 4.5 but the quality is not there hence the reason I bought this one.I would rather walk around 2 more pounds.Plus the straps and hip pad is REAL comfortable
all kidding aside, for those of us who prefer to walk but tend to have back issues, 2lbs makes a HUGE difference. i'd honestly rather deal with a little club snagging or quirky stand legs than to carry 2 extra pounds for 4+ hours(or 6+ if on bethpage black) over 18 holes on my back.
no knocking the quality of the bag at all, it really is a sexy looking bag, but there are other quality options out there in the 4.5lb and under range, albeit with a few minor quirks due to the lightweight.
if that same bag were in the sub-5lb weight range, it would without a doubt be on my shortlist.
in the end, all that matters is if it works for you...enjoy!
