Prime 2.0 Staff
The VESSEL Prime 2.0 Staff Bag is a fully equipped tour-caliber staff bag trusted by professionals and caddies around the world, built to perform at the highest level without sacrificing refinement. Crafted from tour-grade synthetic leather, it delivers exceptional durability with a premium look and feel, while water-resistant zippers and genuine leather zipper pulls reinforce its luxury credentials. Thoughtful details like antimicrobial lining in the personal pockets ensure cleanliness and freshness throughout extended use. Measuring 21”L x 11”W x 35”H and weighing just over 11 pounds fully assembled, the Prime 2.0 strikes an impressive balance between robust structure and manageable carry weight for a true staff bag.
Storage is where the Prime 2.0 truly excels, offering a layout designed for efficiency and quick access on the course. VESSEL’s signature Magnetic Rangefinder Pocket, lined with antimicrobial microfiber and secured with snap-closure magnetic edges, provides scratch-free protection and effortless access. A quick-access magnetic valuables pocket near the top, complete with soft velour lining and a key clip, keeps essentials like phones, wallets, and glasses secure and within reach. Hydration is equally well-considered, with dual insulated beverage sleeves positioned on either side of the bag, expanding when needed and tucking away cleanly when not in use for a streamlined appearance.
Designed to meet the demands of tour life, the Prime 2.0 features a reinforced 6-way top with a structural steel ring, wrapped in premium microsuede to protect clubs, shafts, and grips during constant play and travel. Three integrated grab handles make lifting and positioning effortless, while dual ball pockets, a large organizational belly pocket with a detachable embroidery panel, and a concealed umbrella sleeve ensure everything has its place without disrupting the bag’s sleek profile. From its structural integrity to its intelligently designed pocket system, the Prime 2.0 Staff Bag represents the pinnacle of VESSEL’s commitment to performance, durability, and understated luxury.
PrimeX Tour
The VESSEL PrimeX Tour golf bag makes an immediate impression as a true collector’s piece, blending tour-level presence with cutting-edge materials. Created as a limited-edition staff bag for VESSEL’s 10th anniversary, it represents a thoughtful evolution of the brand’s tour heritage. Designed exclusively for the Carbon Fiber Collection, the PrimeX Tour feels purposeful and premium, clearly aimed at golfers who appreciate both performance and refined aesthetics.
What truly sets this bag apart is the collaboration with Carbitex, a leader in flexible carbon fiber innovation. The genuine carbon fiber paneling, made from Carbitex’s patented OmniFlextextile, delivers an impressive balance of durability, lightweight performance, and advanced technology. In hand, the materials feel robust yet refined, reinforcing the idea that this bag is not just visually striking, but engineered to meet the demands of high-level play while maintaining a luxurious finish.
Rounding out the experience is the bag’s exclusivity and attention to detail. With only 150 units available worldwide, each individually labeled for authenticity, the PrimeX Tour carries a sense of rarity that elevates its appeal even further. This is a staff bag that goes beyond function, serving as a statement piece that celebrates innovation, craftsmanship, and VESSEL’s decade-long commitment to premium golf gear.

From the outset, it feels purpose-built, offering tour-inspired design paired with thoughtful organization that suits both competitive players and dedicated enthusiasts.
Functionality is where the Prime Mini truly shines. With 10 exterior pockets and 8 interior pockets, storage is abundant and intelligently laid out. Standout features include VESSEL’s signature magnetic rangefinder pocket with an internal divider and velour lining, dual expandable bottle sleeves with magnetic-snap closures, and multiple personals pockets designed to protect valuables. The large belly pocket, detachable for personalization, and the hidden umbrella sleeve further enhance usability while maintaining a clean, streamlined look.

Premium materials and construction tie the entire experience together.
