Vessel Golf: More Than Just Badass Golf Bags
So, let’s talk about Vessel Golf. You probably know them for their high-end golf bags that have been cleaning up in reviews and snagging medals on MyGolfSpy’s testing scoreboard year after year. These bags are pricier than your average fare, but they’ve become a go-to for many pros out on the PGA and LIV tours. And trust me, it’s not just us saying this; their reputation is solid as a rock in the golfing community.
But here’s a little twist—Vessel isn’t just about golf bags anymore. Owner Ronnie Shaw has taken the leap into travel and lifestyle gear, and yes, there’s even some pickleball stuff, but we won’t get lost in that rabbit hole! Today, we’re diving into five non-golf bag items from Vessel that are absolutely worth your cash.
1: The PrimeX Backpack
Let’s kick things off with the PrimeX Backpack. If you’re anything like me, you’ve learned the hard way: cheap luggage sucks, and good luggage ain’t cheap. The PrimeX will set you back about $269, but let me tell you, you’ll probably give up on it way before it ever quits on you.
The backpack is packed with smart organization—think well-placed pockets and a compartment that snugly fits a 15-inch laptop. It’s got plush, velour-lined pockets for your phone and valuables, and a magnetic closure for easy access to your small stuff like keys and cords. Designed to fit under your airplane seat, it’s compact, but if you need more space, the PrimeX Plus version can handle a 16-inch laptop for just an extra thirty bucks.
Not quite ready to shell out that much? No sweat; Vessel’s also got a more budget-friendly option with the Skyline Backpack for $175. And if you’re feeling extra fancy, the limited-edition PrimeX Carbon comes in at a whopping $1,395!
2: Signature Garment Duffel
Next up on our list is the Signature Garment Duffel. Now, I know what you might be thinking: there are plenty of duffels out there. But hear me out—this one’s special! You might find cheaper options, but the same rule about luggage applies.
This duffel is a clever mix—it functions as a carry-on while also having a nifty garment compartment for keeping your dress shirts and sport coat wrinkle-free. Just unzip it and roll it back into a duffel after loading up your clothes.
Plus, it has handy internal zippered pockets, and a strap to slide onto your roller suitcase. Available in five stylish colorways, you can snag this beauty for $279.
3: Soft and Hard Travel Bags
If you’re traveling with your golf clubs, then you know the golden rule: treat your clubs like family. Not everyone handles them with kid gloves, which is where Vessel’s Golf Travel Case 2.0 comes to rescue you. This soft shell case is made for fitting all kinds of Vessel bags, and trust me, it’ll likely fit most other brands too.
Easy to load and super spacious, it features a thick padded top for that extra layer of protection your clubs deserve. Plus, it’s expandable; zip it up for a compact fit or unzip for extra space to accommodate larger bags.
Not into soft cases? Vessel teamed up with SKB for a hard travel case that’s TSA-approved, comes with industrial-strength latches, and even includes foam padding to keep your precious clubs safe. The hard case is priced at $449, while the soft version is available for $399.
4: Way Cool Headcovers
Let’s get real: headcovers can be the ultimate impulse buy. And yes, Vessel also kills it in this department with their classy and clean leather headcovers. The Leather Golf Headcover ($69) screams vintage with its sleek all-white design featuring black numbers, reminding me of a time when things were just simpler.
For those who want something a bit more stylish, the Lux Embosse headcovers come in multiple colors with an embossed number feature—super elegant! Prices for these range from $79 to $99.
If you’re after something with a pop, check out the Geometric headcovers painted in colors like Crimson Red or Heritage Brown. They retail at $129, while the tri-colored Icon LE Headcover goes for $99 and is made from both genuine leather and synthetic materials.
5: Rain Hood by Seaforth
Last on our list is a surprisingly well-thought-out accessory: the Rain Hood made in collaboration with Seaforth. Priced at just $39, it might be one of the best values you’ll find in golf gear.
Sure, most golf bags come with a basic rain hood, but if you can actually find yours, kudos to you! Vessel’s rain hood is different: it has internal straps to secure it to your bag and allows for easy access when you need to grab a club quickly. Plus, it uses a magnetic closure instead of a zipper, making it far more user-friendly.
Headed for a rainy day on the course? This hood is a must-have, especially if you’re planning a trip to places like Scotland or Ireland.
Vessel Golf has remained a staple in the equipment world, offering gear that meets a high standard not just in style but also in functionality. Beyond their award-winning golf bags, these five items have made their mark too. So if you’re looking for travel gear or accessories that make your golfing life better while oozing style, give Vessel a shot. Trust me, you won’t regret it!
