Sun Mountain is known for high-quality golf bags that combine functionality, durability and innovative technologies. The H2NO series, which is characterized by its waterproofness, is particularly popular with golfers. To make it easier to choose the right bag, we highlight the similarities and differences between the Sun Mountain Cartbags and Standbags here.

All Sun Mountain golf bags in the H2NO series, namely the Sun Mountain Cartbag H2NO Lite, the Sun Mountain Cartbag H2NO Elite 2024, the Sun Mountain Cartbag H2NO Lite 14 Way, the Sun Mountain Cartbag H2NO Staff 14 Way, the Sun Mountain Standbag H2NO 14 and the Sun Mountain Standbag H2NO 14 Way Hybrid, share essential features that prioritize equipment protection and user comfort. The most outstanding feature of all models is the original H2NO technology. Waterproof materials, sealed zippers and specially taped seams ensure that your golf equipment stays dry and protected even in adverse weather conditions.
Sun Mountain uses lightweight but durable high-tech materials throughout. This ensures that the bags are highly durable and lightweight at the same time. Almost all models have a 14-way full-length divider top, which allows excellent organization of the clubs and protects them from damage. A separate Putter compartment is also integrated into most bags. Practical, special handles on the top make it easier to lift and position the bags. A large number of accessory compartments, often with front access, offer sufficient space for valuables, clothing, drinks, rangefinders and other utensils. Velour-padded compartments protect sensitive items. Practical holders for umbrellas, towels and gloves are also provided as standard.
Although the H2NO series has many things in common, Cartbags and Standbags differ fundamentally in their design and their specific features, which optimize them for different types of players and purposes.
Sun Mountain Cartbags are primarily designed for use on a golf trolley. Their construction is designed to be stable on the Trolley and provide easy access to all compartments. Cartbags include the H2NO Lite, the H2NO Elite 2024, the H2NO Lite 14 Way and the H2NO Staff 14 Way. All Cartbags have a top with a generous diameter of 25.4 cm (10 inches), which allows the clubs to be held comfortably. The number of accessory pockets varies slightly between the models, from seven for the H2NO Lite 14 Way to eight for the H2NO Lite, nine for the H2NO Staff 14 Way and ten for the H2NO Elite 2024, providing different storage space for personal items depending on the model. The weight of the Cartbags is consistently between 2.6 kg for models such as the H2NO Lite, H2NO Lite 14 Way and H2NO Staff 14 Way and 2.8 kg for the H2NO Elite 2024. A particular highlight of the Cartbags is the trolley belt guide, which is designed so that the trolley belt does not obstruct access to the compartments. The H2NO Staff 14 Way also offers a staff size for even more storage space, while the H2NO Elite 2024 with a wide, comfortably padded carrying strap can also be used for short distances.
Sun Mountain Standbags are designed for golfers who prefer to carry their bag but also want to have the option of using it on a Trolley. These include the H2NO 14 and the H2NO 14 Way Hybrid. The Standbags have a slightly smaller top with a 24.1 cm (9.5 inch) diameter, which makes them more compact but still offers a 14-way divider. Both Standbag models offer six accessory compartments, including large clothing, drink and padded valuables compartments. The weight is a light 2.6 kg for both models, making them ideal for carrying over longer distances. A robust stand system with high-quality, non-slip feet is characteristic of these bags; the attachment to the top increases stability and enables easy activation. The E-Z Dual-Lite harness system is another highlight, as it is individually adjustable and ensures optimum balance and high carrying comfort, even when fully loaded. The hybrid function of the H2NO 14 Way Hybrid makes this model particularly versatile, as it can be carried comfortably or used efficiently on a Trolley.
The choice between a Sun Mountain Cartbag and a Standbag depends largely on personal preferences and individual playing style. If you use your bag almost exclusively on a Trolley and value maximum storage space and a fixed organization, a Cartbag is the right choice. If, on the other hand, you are looking for flexibility, want to be able to carry your bag and value a light weight and comfortable carrying system, a Standbag - especially a Hybrid model - is an excellent option. Regardless of the model you choose, with the H2NO series you can rely on the proven waterproofness and high-quality workmanship that characterize Sun Mountain.
