Hot List
In it for the long haul
These bags are so well constructed that they could be around when Tiger's dominating the Champions Tour. Plus, they pack enough cool features to make a five-hour round comfortable. To identify the cart, carry and hybrid bags most deserving of our Hot List, the judges considered several factors, including functionality and innovation of features and the bag's overall value. Carry bags were also evaluated by weight and the Topple Test (the angle of the steepest slope a bag with deployed legs can stand before falling over). Golf can be an expedition, so equip yourself with what you need to play well. These 20 bags help you do so with ease.

The winner of the Topple Test, this five-pounder maintained its stance until our virtual hill hit 56 degrees. Its sturdiness comes from the XTT (X-tra Traction Technology) base that sits flush to the ground when activated by the leg stands. A magnetic ball pocket and an Izzo dual carrying strap are prominent features.

Dual external wells are perfect spots for a putter and a wedge?or any two clubs you'd like to keep handy. Combine those slots with the bag's 15-slot divider top, and that accounts for 17 clubs (just remember the Rules of Golf allow only 14 clubs). Twelve pockets, many quite roomy, make this the dream Winnebago of cart bags.

The Hoode tent-dome rain cover might look like the man-eating plant from "Little Shop of Horrors," but it's the most playable invention for keeping clubs dry we've ever seen. This 6.8-pound bag is constructed from a durable nylon material the company calls Shredder NT/420D. Feed me, Seymour!
