- Sun Mountain has launched ClubGlider3, the third version of its golf travel cover with retractable legs.
- ClubGlider3 has a recommended retail price of £399 and comes in eight colourways.
- A larger ClubGlider3 Tour for staff bags is available in Black at £499.
Sun Mountain has updated the ClubGlider, the travel cover that put legs under a golfer’s clubs almost 20 years ago. ClubGlider3 keeps the patented retractable leg system and adds more protection, harder-wearing materials and better security.
They fold out to carry the weight of a fully loaded cover, so the golfer steers it on its wheels through terminals, car parks and hotel lobbies and doesn’t have to drag it.
“Sun Mountain created ClubGlider almost 20 years ago because we thought there had to be a better way to travel with golf clubs,” said Grant Knudson, CEO of Sun Mountain. “Turns out, giving a travel cover legs was a pretty good idea.”
What’s new?
The outer shell is weather- and abrasion-resistant polyester ripstop with a matte TPU film laminate and a durable water-repellent finish. Inside, a thermoformed casing and velour lining protect the clubs from knocks in the hold.
Security gets the biggest upgrade. ClubGlider3 has an integrated TSA lock, industrial-grade two-way zips and heavy-duty clips. A dedicated internal pocket holds an AirTag tracker, which helps when a bag doesn’t turn up on the carousel.
It also has four storage pockets for travel essentials and three utility handles for lifting the cover into a hire car or onto a check-in belt.
Colours and pricing
ClubGlider3 costs £399 and comes in Black, Black/Steel/Red, Grove, Navy, Navy/White/Red, Aurora Red/Steel/Cadet, Mauve/Steel/Stucco and Blue Denim/Cadet.
The standard model is built for typical carry and cart bags. Golfers who travel with a larger staff bag can choose the roomier ClubGlider3 Tour, which comes only in Black and costs £499.
The launch suits golfers who already have their clothes luggage sorted. When OGIO added hard-sided cases to its Rise range in August, it built them for clothing, footwear and personal items and left clubs to be carried separately.
