Sun Mountain S1 cart bag

Any experience with this bag?

Does anyone have experience with the Sun Mountain S1 cart bag to share?

The Sun Mountain C 130 appears just too large for my purposes.

Thanks

Hi Ed--

I have the 2009 S1 bag. Overall I would have to say that I am quite happy with it. My previous bag was a Sun Mountain stand bag, and I really like the quality and features of the SM products. I had gotten a ClicGear 2.0 pushcart, and my stand bag did not fit well on the push cart without sitting it sideways(due to the piece that makes the legs extend), so I decided to get a new bag. I considered the C130, the SCB bag and the S1. The C130 is awesome and has so many nice features/pockets, but it just seemed to be "too much" at the end of the day. It's also quite a bit heavier, and I didn't want to push the extra weight. Comparing the SCB and the S1, I didn't like the carry strap being on the front of the SCB, and I actually preferred the way the S1 has the dividers "tiered"(which is similar to the c130, but reversed vs. on the SCB). I also liked the color combo of the S1 better(I got the black/silver/red one). I would have liked the extra pocket (above the ball pocket) that the SCB has. The S1 has a relatively small(narrow) base for a stand bag, and as a result does twist more (on my push cart and on the back of a motorized cart) than the C130 probably does, and you have to be careful when you stand it up when taking it out of your trunk (mine has fallen over twice--in a wind gust, and in a parking lot that wasn't level)--not a deal-breaker, but something to be mindful of.

Good luck with your choice!
