If you’re still lugging around a neon-colored billboard for a golf bag, it’s time for an intervention. Jones Sports Co. has been the king of the walking golfer aesthetic for five decades, and their new Heritage Collection Trouper is quite possibly their masterpiece. It takes the iconic Jones silhouette and wraps it in a deluxe, water-resistant vegan leather that looks like it belongs at a 1970s tourney but weighs in at a modern 5.8 lbs.
The 2026 Trouper features a rock-solid, reinforced stand and newly engineered ergonomic zippers that actually slide when you need a sleeve of balls in a hurry. You get a five-way top to keep your clubs from tangling and a total of seven pockets—including a massive insulated cooler that fits six cans for those long back nines. The Evergreen/Kodiak colorway (pictured) is an instant classic, but the Onyx/Kodiak is equally sharp for the minimalist.
At $375, it’s a premium investment that undercuts a lot of the high-end competition while looking ten times better. It’s the perfect blend of Portland-born utility and old-school elegance. Whether you’re a scratch player or just out there for the vibes, this bag makes the walk a lot more enjoyable.
