MISSOULA, Mont. (March 21, 2012) -- For the new KG:3 cart bag, the inventors at Sun Mountain took principles honed over 30 years of making the lightest carry bags and applied them to a cart bag. Weighing in at 6.5 lbs, the new for 2012 KG:3 is light in weight but heavy in features offering individual club protection, multiple lift assist handles and pockets specific to the needs of the 21st century golfer. KG:3 will be in golf shops March 2012 with a retail price of $229. For the retailer nearest you, call 800-227-9224 or visit www.sunmountain.com.
The new KG:3 cart bag includes a 10.5", 15-way divided top offering full-length club protection and a separate putter well for easy access. The top of the KG:3 also includes Sun Mountain's patent-pending three handle-holds offering convenient spots to grab with both hands when lifting the bag onto a cart. An additional hand-hold incorporated into the base of the bag offers an easy place to hold when lifting the bag in and out of a car trunk.
In keeping with a priority at Sun Mountain, the nine pockets on the KG:3 are all forward facing and accessible when the bag is on a cart. Access to the zippers is further aided by a cart-strap tunnel that allows the strap on the cart to pass under the bag's pockets so not to cover up the zipper or squish the contents of the pockets. The nine pockets on the KG:3 include a beverage pouch and a pocket specifically to protect a mobile phone (ringer off, of course!), and offer space to store rain suits, balls, gloves, and accessories. KG:3 also includes a single shoulder strap and a hip pad for comfortable carrying from car to course.
Graphics on the KG:3 are noticeably modern, in keeping with the new-from-the-ground-up design philosophy used on this bag. Color combinations for 2012 include: black/white/lime, black/yam/gunmetal, navy/blue/yellow, blue/titanium/lava, and black.
