What is the Carbon Collection? 

Vessel Lux Pro Cart Carbon / Golfers Authority

Vessel's turning 13 years old, and they're celebrating big with their new Carbon Collection — a fresh take on premium golf bags that raises the bar. They've loaded their best-sellers with more carbon fiber than ever, featuring Carbitex OmniFlex technology that weaves carbon fiber throughout each bag. The result? You'll get an incredibly strong, flexible, and lightweight bag that doesn't just perform better - it looks stunning too.

These bags come with exclusive features you won't find on other Vessel models, including a genuine carbon fiber body, a convenient magnetic ball pocket, and a stylish chrome badge that shows it's authentic. The end result is a golf bag that hits the sweet spot between stability, comfort, and smart design - perfect for golfers who won't settle for anything less than the best.

Top Design

You'll love how your clubs fit perfectly in the Vessel Lux Pro Carbon's 15-way top. At just 8.4 pounds, it's lightweight but doesn't skimp on organization. Each club gets its own slot, and the offset dividers make everything easier to manage. The staggered design lets you spot club heads instantly - no more searching for that 7-iron! The soft velour lining isn't just for looks - it keeps your clubs scratch-free during your round. Moving your bag is easy with three grab handles right where you need them.

No more tangled clubs thanks to the full-length dividers that run top to bottom. Since each club has its own channel, they won't catch on each other when you pull them out. Just reach in and grab what you need. There's even a special oversized spot for your putter that fits today's bigger grips and modern head shapes. It won't knock against other clubs, and you'll always know where to find it.

Want to stay even more organized? The Lux Pro Carbon works with VESSEL's Golf Club Organizer (sold separately). It gives every club its own home, so you'll spot any missing clubs right away, and your bag stays neat throughout your round.

Premium Construction

The Vessel Lux Pro Carbon's really in a league of its own when it comes to premium golf bags. It's breaking new ground as the first bag to use OmniFlex, a special carbon fiber textile from Carbitex that takes things to the next level. What makes it so special? This material flexes like regular fabric but with all the benefits of carbon fiber. You're getting something that's light and durable at the same time, which means less weight to carry around without sacrificing toughness.

The hand-stitched leather handles and waterproof zipper pulls aren't just for show. They add a real touch of luxury. The leather's soft but can take a beating. You'll feel the quality every time you pick up the bag or unzip a pocket. The whole construction's impressive. The seams are tight, the zippers glide smoothly, and every pocket's exactly where you'd want it. Vessel hasn't skimped on anything. They've chosen materials that don't just look and feel expensive but actually perform better too. When you put it all together — the carbon fiber exterior, real leather details and 22 pockets — you've got a golf bag that performs as well as it looks.

Designed Explicitly for Golf Carts

Every detail of this cart bag's been designed with cart use in mind, starting with the Cart Strap Pass Through Tunnel and its matching strap sleeve. If you've used a golf cart, you know how frustrating it is when you can't get to certain pockets because the cart strap's in the way — or even worse, when an old, dried-out strap tears up your bag. This clever feature fixes that problem completely. Just slide the cart strap sleeve onto the strap to protect your bag, then feed it through the special pass-through tunnel, which lets you easily access all your pockets. Vessel adds even more luxury with a magnetic rangefinder pocket pod, which you can lift up, slip the strap underneath and the magnets snap it right back in place. It's brilliant.

There's nothing worse than your golf bag sliding around on your push cart (or trolley, as our English friends call it), even after you've tightened everything down. That's where the hidden Matching Cart Bracket Straps come in — they'll keep your bag locked in place when you need them but stay tucked away when you don't. There's also a handy Cart Battery Pocket that holds spare batteries and keeps your carry strap secure, making your push cart even more practical. Vessel's thought of everything to make your walking or riding experience the best it can be.

Comprehensive Storage

The Vessel Lux Pro Carbon isn't just any golf bag, it's a storage powerhouse with 22 pockets (15 exterior and 7 interior) strategically placed for easy access. They've thought of everything a golfer needs and put it right where you'd want it, from tees and balls to rangefinders and valuables.

At the top center, you'll find the Magnetic Rangefinder Pocket with its soft velour lining and built-in divider. Your device stays safe and secure thanks to the strong magnetic closure — just grab it when you need it and pop it back in without any fuss.

Right below that is a deep accessory pocket that's perfect for your tees and ball markers.

The Carbon Collection's exclusive Magnetic Golf Ball Pocket might be my favorite feature. The magnet's super strong, and it's better than messing with zippers when you need a ball. They've made it really spacious, and I love how everything stays perfectly in place when it's closed.

You won't go thirsty with the massive insulated cooler pocket and two cooler-lined bottle sleeves. They'll keep your drinks cold all day, and each pocket has its own drain to prevent water from collecting. The sleeves are pretty clever with magnetic snap closures — expand them when you need them or tuck them away when you don't. On the outside of the cooler pocket, you'll find two more pockets: a velour-lined personals pocket and one of the three accessory pockets.

There's also a large garment pocket on the side with plenty of room for extra clothes, rain gear, towels or shoes. Inside that, you'll find the interior lock pocket with antimicrobial velour lining and a combination lock perfect for your wallet, phone, and keys. The exterior of the garment pocket features another velour-lined valuables pocket with a key hook, plus an accessory pocket for anything else you might need.

Here's something you usually only see on cart bags: they've designed it so the cart straps won't block your pocket access. It's these little details that make your round so much smoother.

The bag also comes with a matching rain hood, velcro glove tab, dual pen holder, bottle opener/towel ring combo, and umbrella holder.

Conclusion

The Vessel Lux Pro Carbon golf bag's a premium cart bag that's perfect if you demandt the best. It's loaded with clever features and crafted from high-end materials, blending practicality with style on the course.
