[Alexblakk]

Looks like no more waterproof 14 way stand bag !

[TheFatTick]

Like the colors in the 2018 Sync lineup far more than the ones available in 2017.

[Davethegolfer]

I wish they would put the weight of the bags

[jimb6golf]

When are these going to be available? They aren't even shown on their own website yet.

[3putt4thewin]

Not sure on the timeline for every bag but I have the 2.5 plus already. Picked it up last weekend.

I've already seen the C130's at my local Golftown.

Didn't look like they changed the 4.5ls up much at all. I went on and got a 2017 at a discount. Hoping it holds up like the mizuno has.

I agree. really like the features of the 4.5 LS but hated the colors last year and they carried them over to this year. Probably same 2017 bag marked as a 2018 :(

 

If the 3.5 only had the cart strap like the older ones did! Colors look great in that model.

The strap is nice but not a necessity. I've hooked up the 2.5 and Front 9 to a cart without issues.

2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5 (ibs) gives you the approximate weight without the rainhood - it's probably a few tenths above the model number. With the cart bags, weight doesn't really matter. You're not carrying that monster on your back. I'd avoid the Front 9 or any 8.5 top unless you enjoy the sport of club sticking-unsticking. Not terrible, but bothersome and constant.

What's the difference between the old 2.5 and the new 2.5+?

[Fyparr]

Heavier duty fabric, updated shoulder straps, zippered ball pocket, and a beverage pouch.

[Big Ben]

I picked up the new C130s and really like it. The fabric is nice defintely heavy duty. I like having the shoulder strap and legs it's a perfect combination in my opinion. BB

[BostonWRX]

Just got the2018 h2n0 lite. Pretty sharp

[Stetson]

If it had a beverage pouch i would already have one

You bring up a great point, I have the 2016 version and that is the only item that truly drives me crazy. Im thinking about sacrificing the waterproofing the left side pocket and have a beverage pouch sown in.

[Stetson]

Same reason I do not have a stadry. With my next bag I would like a waterproof bag that I can use full time but lack of a beverage pouch is a killer. The rangefinder goes nicely in a similar pocket on my current bag but I know it's unlikely I'll get another bag that can do a beverage and rangefinder at a weight under 4 lbs (Ogio Nebula, very nice bag)

[mljones99]

I kinda like that midnight camo on the the 3.5 LS. Not enough to upgrade from my 2017 3.5 LS though.

[gambit]

Can anyone comment on how the 2017/2018 light weight series fit on a Clicgear 3.5? My 4.5 from 2010 fits well, but my 3.5 from 2012 moves around a lot.

[ylwdogsc]

Go to Walmart and get a can of CampDry. Use it on all of my nylon bags. Unless you're in a monsoon, keeps things nice and dry. I apply it twice a year.

[thedurtydurden]

Can someone elaborate to me the functionality of the clear pocket on the 5.5? I'd have probably bought one last year but I just can't get over showing my possessions to everyone who walks by. If there's a C-130S that's not a 14 way I'd have probably bought that, too.

I think it's so you can see your phone. You know, important social media updates and whatnot.

[gambit]

Is there any difference between the 2017 and 2018 5.5 other than color options?

[benzenbe]

So far, really like my 2018 C130. Used to have a 4.5LS bag, but this has a LOT more space for everything. In addition to 14 clubs, I also like to carry a couple alignment sticks and an orange whip and there's no problem carrying the extra stuff. I'll be putting it in play the first time this Saturday, interested to see how effective the Smart Straps actually are.

Thanks, that's what I figured. I just don't like the idea, unless your phone remains touch capable inside the pocket? Meh.

That's good to know. I carry alignment sticks and basically an extra club (club umbrella - a lot of rain) so 14 ways are usually no good for me. If there's a bit of extra room in that top I'd like to check one out.

[dwainwright]

Hmm, the number of colorways in the H2NO lines have been dramatically reduced. The cool colors were the best thing about them. I find the the 2018 H2NOs dissapointing. The bag itself is much the same as the 2017 model (great), but only in black and blue --> BORING.

My 2 cents,

David.

The 2018 C130 also has a dedicated umbrella slot on the backside of one of the full-length pockets. Here are a few pics of the bag with most of my stuff in it (excluding the normal water bottle and windbreaker). Also really appreciate that this has a lot more valuables pockets and the dedicated range finder placed just below the clubs (hopefully will make for a seamless "shoot-and-grab" what the situation calls for).

[Hateto3Putt]

I hope their durability has improved.

 

My 2 year old C130 is literally falling apart. (2 zippers shot, base detaching)

 

It's really soured me for the brand. And that's a shame as I have a decade old V1 cart that's been indestructible.

Yes - and get rid of the bottom that fits on SM carts but not Clicgear 3.5+ without an adaptor.
