Go to ...
I don’t know about you, but I take a backpack with me just about everywhere I go. It’s been that way ever since I was a kid and lugged my backpack full of books to school and back home five days a week.
That’s still the case today, except those books have been replaced by laptops, cameras, and golf equipment. And I’m notoriously hard on all my equipment, which is why I recently decided to upgrade from my Jansport cloth pack to something a little higher-end and more durable.
My choice? The Vessel Prime X backpack.
This backpack is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, let alone owned.
Let’s take an in-depth look at what sets it apart.
Key Features
- Wide array of pockets gives you plenty of room to store all your items, large and small.
- Snap-closure magnetic mechanism provides easy access to your belongings.
- Ergonomic, adjustable shoulder straps and a sternum strap allow for maximum comfort during transport.
Who Should Buy the Vessel Prime X Backpack?
If you’re constantly on the move, travel a lot, or plain sick of carrying a briefcase to the office, the Vessel Prime X backpack is calling your name.
Not only is it one of the most comfortable backpacks on the market, it’s also one of the most secure. Both magnetic and zip pockets are sure to stay shut even if your backpack ends up outside down.
The Prime X also has more pockets and features than normal backpacks. Whatever you need to bring with you and wherever you go, you can count on the Vessel Prime X to keep all your valuables secure.

Design and Technology
Most of the backpacks I’ve owned over the years are pretty generic in their design. They’re soft-shelled, don’t offer much exterior protection, and the zippers tend to wear out after a while.
The Vessel Prime X is built to last and keep everything inside protected. In short, it sets the bar higher than anything else out there.
The different pockets are the most notable features of the Prime X. The main compartment features two slip pockets and a zip pocket.
The tech compartment has two velour-lined sleeves that are perfect for your laptop or tablet.
A magnetic accessory pocket has a hook lock, is velour lined, and comes with a key clip.
A quick access pocket sits at the front as is also velour lined.
Two expandable water bottle sleeves mean you’ll always stay hydrated.
The neoprene lined back panel makes for comfortable carry.
Ergonomic shoulder straps add to and an adjustable sternum strap keep the Prime securely in place while you’re in transit.
Lastly, you can have the front of the Prime X customized with a logo or print of your choice for a small upcharge.

Our Experience
Like I said, I’ve owned more backpacks than I can count over the years and Prime X is the best one I’ve ever had.
I use it every day and particularly love how much room it has. Even though the Prime X isn’t excessively big, it has a ton of storage. I’m blown away by how much gear I can fit inside.
The number of different compartments is staggering too. Each one serves a purpose and keeping all my gear organized is easy.
This backpack has stood up to just about everything I’ve thrown at it. The leather exterior still looks like new, and I’ve yet to have a zipper break or malfunction.
It’s safe to say the Vessel Prime X will be the last backpack I ever own.
