It has been decided that GCA are going to chooe Sun Mountain are to produce the 2011 version of the new GCA bag, on approval from Ran. Jerry Kluger and I have been working out the costs for the bag + delivery plus a contribution to GCA.


The options are a Swift X or the bigger Superlight SLX



Swift X



Superlight SLX


The following prices (including delivery) are:

US

Swift X: $130  

Superlight SLX: $160


UK/Australia - based on international delivery costs

Swift X: $180 (£115)

Superlight SLX: $210 (£135)



As previously all payments will be direct to Jerry Kluger.


Could you confirm your interest/order to me. If so I will need your postal address and email (to allow everyone to keep track of the order).

There is a single strap option for both bag types – if you would prefer this please let me know.


Cheers
Ben

I'm not interested in a bag because I just got two new ones last year, but I gotta say...those are sharp! Nice work Ben.

[Mark Pearce]

Is there anyone attending the Midwest Mashie who might be willing to take delivery of one for me and bring it with them to Lawsonia?  That would save me the shipping costs to the UK, if delivery will be in time.

Mark,


Sun Mountain have said it would take them 3 weeks to produce and 1 week to ship the bags. So there should be plenty of time for the hallowed GCA bag to arrive for the Midwest Mashie!

"The options are a Swift X or the bigger Superlight SLX"

Is the latter just a bigger bag with more pockets?  What do they each weigh?

I think the Superlight SLX is larger and weighs almost 4 pounds. One website said the Swift X weighs less than 3. The SLX has more pockets and a 6-section divider for clubs. The Swift X has just two sections.

[Mark Pearce]

Thanks, Ben.  And I have a volunteer already, thanks!

Hi Lou,

Here are the dimensions from Sun Mountain.

Swift
36" height, 8.5" width, 12.5" length

SLX
36" height, 12.0" width, 15.5" length

Hope this helps

Cheers
Ben

[Ben Stephens]

The orders are coming in (12 already in a short time)

Could I have both postal address and email address - so Sun Mountain can send them direct to you and I can reconfirm the order.

Cheers
Ben

I understand that a single strap option is available for the Swift X - be sure to let Ben know if you want the single strap otherwise the presumption is the dual strap system.

Overseas payments must be in US Dollars drawn on a US bank or I will have to pass on any fees from my bank to the purchaser.

[Mark Pearce]

Jerry,

I'm guessing that the majority of UK purchasers won't have a US bank account.  If fees are to be incurred (when aren't they with banks), perhaps it would make sense for one UK person to collect UK payments and make one bank transfer and thus only incur one fee?

Mark,

I will be collecting the UK money - will be working out with Jerry and/or Sun Mountain how the payments will go through. I am open to any suggestions

Sun Mountain have confirmed that they can do a single strap for both bag types

And now the ever popular question...

Does it come in a lefty model?

[Jay Flemma]

If it comes in black, I'm interested.  

IM me off-list for deets and contact info first though, I have a few more qs.

Congratulations and great work, boys.  I'll be proud to carry it for many years.

[Tony Weiler]

I love the bags, but not sure which to get.  I want it as light as possible, but the SLX has dividers and more pockets.  Anyone own either right now?

[Brad Isaacs]

I own both. Bigger is easier on the clubs, smaller is easier on my back.  Generally I choose the clubs.

Brad

[Mark Smolens]

Jerry, I've mailed my check (to you) for a single strap SLX (the bigger bag), which I would like shipped to my office address (which is listed in the cover letter). Thanks.

[Tony Weiler]

Brad

Thanks, Brad.

Tony,

The Swift X has 2 dividers and the Superlight SLX has 4 dividers - Brad is probably right

Do we have color choices?  I figure not but can't tell.

Thanks.

There are color choices available from Sun Mountain for the Swift X and Superlight SLX bags but it will be very costly for one offs - this is the chosen 'batch order' colour in which the majority would vote for the 2011 GCA bag.

Cheers
Ben
