PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas JingleBAM DAY 6 Golf Giveaway: Vessel Golf VLS Stand Bag Review

What can I tell you about Vessel Golf bags that I haven't already told you?  They're sophisticated, and luxurious.  They're a pure delight to carry, brimming with nostalgia that takes you back to a time when golf in its purest form was enjoying the walk.

I've carried and reviewed the Vessel Player II and Player III bags.  The VLS, VLX, VLX Lux, and Lux cart bags as well.  What they all have in common is a meticulous character of elaborate detail and uncommonly superb workmanship.  And in my DAY 6 JingleBAM giveaway one of you is going to wind up with your very own Vessel Golf VLS Stand Bag (Grey) where old school design meets modern enrichment.

As we've been doing for all the 12 Days, I'm going to hit on a few features of the Vessel VLS Stand bag so you get a better idea what this bag is all about and what you can expect when you carry and use it.

The VLS Stand bag checks in at just over 4 lbs., so it's extremely lightweight.  I've found VLS, VLX, and Player to all be enjoyable and comfortable to carry, but VLS might be the most comfortable of all.

 

And like with the other bags, VLS Stand uses Vessel's patented EQ2 strap system which allows all four points of the top and bottom straps to move independently of the other.  This allows the bag to stay balanced uniquely to each golfer's physique, walk, and even general feel.  Padding in the straps and and hip area are soft and generous and almost mold to your body.

 

As you might expect from a very lightweight bag, VLS Stand has fewer pockets than say the Player model.  But the six external pockets are on the larger size giving you ample room for your golf balls, rain gear, and most everything else you'd normally want with you on the course.  A magnetic valuables pouch is velour lined, and a dedicated water sleeve is cooler lined to keep your drinks cold and fresh for a long time.

 

Workmanship, attention to detail, and high quality of materials is always absolute for Vessel, and the VLS Stand bag embodies Vessel's commitment to the golfer.  The 4-way top is designed with Tour-grade synthetic leather at the opening and genuine leather touchpoints.  Full length dividers keep your clubs stable but also allow for easy removal and return.  Carbon fiber legs are light and durable, and have a strong yet easy open and close hinge.  And Vessel's rotator base essentially ensures the entire base of the bag sits flush and steady with the ground no matter the terrain.

The VLS Stand gives you pretty much everything you'd want in a stand/carry bag.  And I can also tell you from experience that Vessel bags are all built to last.  There are no shortcuts with the VLS Stand, just supreme quality and satisfaction that I've come to expect now from Vessel.
