Thinking of getting a 2nd bag since I'll have 2 sets of clubs once I sell off the excess. I love my Vaporlite and ought to just get another one.

However, I bought MX 23's and really like the looks of the Aerolite bag.

Pros/cons? Can anyone compare the 2 from actual use?

I know there's a lot of other bags, but these are the only 2 I'm really asking about for now.

Thanks! :drinks:

I've always liked the Mizuno Aerolite bag, from a style and looks standpoint but I never could get myself to buy one. My main issues with it is the material feels really cheap and thin (probably why it's so light), and I don't like the mesh drink holder.

I ended up purchasing the Ogio Grom, it is heavy for a carry bag - but the features are pretty convient. If the Vaporlite uses the same material as the Grom, but is really lightweight I would go for that.

I have one (older model), the material (although feeling cheap, ie. thin) is very durable. Never had an issue with mine. Accidently pushed my divot repair tool into it from the inside pretty hard and it didn't even come close to tearing.

It has a few less pockets than the Ogio/Sun Mountain bags, but works well for me. Beside, when you walk, you'll normally want to get rid of stuff in your bag, not lug around extra stuff that you won't need.

It's super light, and the kubaki system works well. The only issue I have is that not all the dividers are sewn to the sides of the bag as well....which leaves a small gap that grips can wiggle down into.

Overall I prefer this bag over any other I've tried that is the same weight. Especialyl from a stap standpoint, the staps on the aerolite are by far better than anyother that I've tried in the same weight bracket. Sun Mountain used to have great straps in their lightweight bags, but now....not so good.

Plus I'm partial to the blue/black/white colors.

I got one to replace my busted Hoofer extrme.

I'm very impressed by it. The divider system is great for walking, really keeps clubs organized well and off each other. Comfortable straps, very light, and has some great features like the velcro glove holder and a waterproof zipper on the valuables pouch. The rainhood is also the absolute best I've used. Lots of little attention to details that make it a good bag.

The stand system is decent, but the bag sits a little low (especially in comparison to my extreme). Good thing in the wind, but kind of a pain to get clubs in and out of. It has a handy strap for keeping the legs retracted on a cart or if you travel with it.

Only thing I don't like about it, place it on a smooth surface like a hardwood or tile floor and the legs like to do the splits, if you store your bag on a smooth garage floor, you're going to need to store it vertically and leaned against something else.

I have one and I can only recommend it. It has sturdy legs compared to the ogio bags and you can now get them in funky new colours.
