You will get: Nothing but the best materials used in construction are eye-catching and built to last. Forward facing pocket design and placement afford ample storage and easy access.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from our friends at Vessel.  Well, they’re back at it with some new stuff you need to check out. 

As you know by now, Vessel doesn’t cut any corners when it comes to quality.  There’s a reason they produce staff bags for the majority of Tour players. 

They were kind enough to send me the Lux XV Cart Bag.  Even though I normally like to walk, I’ll never shy away from a round in a cart if that’s what the group prefers. 

Just the other day, I was out with a couple of buddies who don’t walk.  Period.  I thought what better chance than to try out the Lux XV Cart Bag.

Vessel Lux XV Cart Bag Detailed Review

Design and Technology

The Vessel Lux XV Cart Bag blends classic aesthetics with modern technology. 

This bag is constructed with Tour-grade synthetic leather that won’t scratch or fade in the sun.  It’s also water-resistant and easy to clean.

Smart Cart storage has every pocket facing the golfer as the bag sits on the cart.  This means no having to crawl around and reach behind the bag to fumble with zippers.  Everything is right in front of you. 

The pockets are well thought out too.  They include two insulated water bottle pockets with drains, an insulated cooler pocket, a valuables pocket, interior lock pocket, magnetic rangefinder pocket, ball pocket, garment pocket, and strategically placed umbrella holder.

The towel ring doubles as a bottle opener.

The bag also comes with a customized rain hood and a neoprene cart strap sleeve.

Our Experience

As mentioned in the opening, I had the chance to try this bag out over the course of a 36-hole day with some buddies. It was unseasonably warm, so I made sure to bring plenty of water and a couple of ice-cold adult beverages.  I filled both water bottle pockets with some ice and my water bottles.  I also threw a couple beers and a sandwich in the large cooler pocket.  By the end of each round, all my provisions were still ice cold and the melted ice had all drained out of the bag.

I won’t lie, I spent some time in the desert where cacti are plentiful.  On more than one occasion, I accidentally scraped the bag on a cactus thorn.  When I went to check for scratches, there were none.What I loved most about the Vessel Lux XV Cart Bag, was the easy accessibility to all the pockets.  I’ve seen lots of golf bags in my time, and this is the best one I’ve come across when it comes to getting into pockets. All in all, I was more than impressed with this bag.  Not only does it look great, it’s functional, well built, and durable.  You can’t ask for much more than that.
