Wilson Staff Eco-Carry Golf Bag

Wilson Staff is touting its new "Eco-Carry" golf stand bag as "the first golf bag on the market made from 100-percent recycled polyester fabric."

The fabric is called GreenPlus, and it's made from 12 one-gallon plastic bottles. The production process is explained by Wilson Staff thusly:

In the initial manufacturing phase, the plastic bottles are crushed into plastic flakes. The flakes are then transformed into a stable fiber through a process called de-polymerization and re-polymerization. Lastly, the stable fibers produced from this process are woven into a filament yarn that is used as the fabric for the final product.

Sticking with the green theme, the Wilson Staff Eco-Carry comes in a moss green color scheme. The bag weighs in at 3.7 pounds and comes with a built-in, paddle-activated stand; double strap and ergonomic hip pad; a six-way divider top and a soft neoprene handle.

The Wilson Staff Eco-Carry golf bag debuts with an MSRP of $129.99. Visit wilsonstaff.com for more info.
