Introduction
In their short time in the golf bag space, RevCore has shown that they’re committed to consistently improving their products and offering golfers a more diverse array of choices. Their stand bag line up now consists of two distinct options: the Lux Hybrid [review HERE] and the subject of today’s review, the RevCore LT Lightweight stand bag. I tested it to see if this is truly walker-friendly and how it stacks up to other premium golf bags.
Looks
Like all of the RevCore golf bags that we’ve reviewed, the RevCore LT Lightweight stand bag has a clean, timeless look. The branding is limited to moderately sized “RevCore” logos on the bag’s sides and small engravings on the zippers. Both sides feature diagonal stitching across the large pockets to give the bag some visual interest.
The lack of graphics and branding puts the visual emphasis on the quality of the materials. Everything on this bag looks premium and built to last. The synthetic leather stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the materials on golf’s most expensive stand bags, and the hardware has a great look and feel. Overall, this is a golf bag that you’ll be able to carry for years without it looking dated or worn.
The RevCore LT Lightweight stand bag is available in three colors: Winter White, Deep Grey, and Matte Black. In Matte Black, the bag is monochromatic. The Winter White and Deep Grey versions have black trim, zippers, top, and branding.
Features
Despite being branded as light, the RevCore LT Lightweight stand bag is not short on important features. On the bag’s right side, there’s a full-length apparel pocket, felt-lined, waterproof valuables pocket, and an open-ended cooler pocket with drains. Above all this storage hangs a towel ring and glove holder.
The back of the bag features a magnetic, felt-lined pocket that’s ideal for a rangefinder. The magnet is very strong, which is great for keeping your stuff secure, but it does make me wish the pull tab was a little bigger. This sits above a large, zippered ball pocket that holds two dozen balls easily.
On the left side of the bag, there’s another zippered pocket that’s sized for a small piece of apparel, a few snacks, another dozen balls, or whatever else you can’t live without.
While none of these features are particularly novel, they’re all done in a smart, elevated way. The placement of the cooler pocket, for example, makes it very accessible, and the drains are a smart touch. Similarly, I don’t really need every pocket to be waterproof, but I do want my valuables to stay dry if there’s rain.
Performance
The biggest differentiator between the RevCore LT Lightweight stand bag and the Lux Hybrid [review HERE] is the weight. At 5.5 pounds, some will say that the LT is on the heavy side for a carry bag, but I found the bag well-balanced. The dual shoulder strap is heavily padded, soft, and easily adjusted to make it a very comfortable carry.
Another positive for the RevCore LT is the top. It’s a 5-way top, and every section has a full-length divider. While it will be a little tight with fourteen midsized or oversized grips, it’s certainly capable of holding a “full” set. With eleven or twelve clubs, everything slides in and out easily.
A big upgrade over the original RevCore Stand Bag [review HERE] is the Stay Flat Base. RevCore listened to their customers (and me) and ditched the kickstand for a hinged base. This is not only more durable, it makes the bag more stable when the legs are deployed.
Finally, the RevCore LT Lightweight stand bag comes with two premium add-ons. The rain hood is made of the same synthetic leather as the bag, and it has great structure. This makes it easier to find your clubs when the hood is on rather than wrestling with saggy material. Also, RevCore provides a neoprene sleeve to put over the cart strap which protects your bag from scuffs and scrapes. For those that like to keep their gear pristine, this is a nice bonus.

Conclusion
On RevCore’s website, they make it clear what brands they’re targeting with the RevCore LT Lightweight stand bag. A graphic lists the LT next to Vessel VLS Lux [VLS review HERE] and the Stitch SL2. Despite a price tag that is $100 lower (even less with the code below), the RevCore LT compares favorably in almost every way. If you value quality and performance over brand name, RevCore is the easy choice.

I’m considering purchasing the Revcore LT Stand Bag. It mentions custom embroidery is available on the Velcro attached ball pocket. How to I specify this when ordering? The website does not offer this option.
David,
I just asked RevCore about that, and they said they will be rolling out custom options on their website in the next couple weeks. If you can’t wait, I’d suggest that you email the company directly and see what they can do for you.
Best,
Matt
