That’s the promise of VESSEL’s new Lux Cart Series II, offered in two distinct flavors: the streamlined Lux Cart II and the feature-rich Lux Pro Cart II. Both were redesigned to elevate the riding experience with smarter organization, refined detailing, and tour-grade materials. This is the full breakdown — everything you need to decide which cart bag fits your game.

Design & Materials — Luxury That Works

Both Series II bags share the same DNA: tour-grade synthetic leather for durability and weather resistance, accented with genuine leather touchpoints for a premium hand-feel. Each top is identical in size — 12" L × 10.5" W — and offered in 7-way or 15-way velour-lined configurations with full-length dividers. The velour protects finishes and shafts; the full dividers keep clubs separated and organized.

New protective details include an upgraded piping guard on the back, and a reinforced base to preserve balance and longevity. Both bags are built to integrate seamlessly with VESSEL’s Golf Club Organizer for extra structure and flawless club management.

Specialized Compartments & Features

  • Dedicated wedding band pocket: A hidden velour-lined pocket for what matters most.

  • AirTag® compartment: Discreet, secure, and built-in for peace of mind.

  • Magnetic Pocket Pod: Snaps over a cart strap so essentials remain within reach while strapped in.

  • Rangefinder pocket: Signature VESSEL design, now refined with internal dividers.

  • Ball pocket: Multi-compartment removable pocket with three internal mesh sections for tees, balls, and snacks.

  • Cooler & hydration: Insulated cooler pocket with drainage + dual bottle sleeves with drainage.

  • Cart strap pass-through + Cart Strap Sleeve: Protects the bag exterior from wear and allows uninterrupted pocket access.

  • Cart bracket straps: Secure bag flush to cart/trolley and stow neatly when not in use.

  • Weather protection: Water-resistant zippers, repellent gussets, and an umbrella holder.

Performance & On-Cart Behavior

Series II is engineered for cart play: the cart strap pass-through, magnetic pocket pod, bracket straps, and reinforced base all prioritize a stable, low-profile ride on carts and trolleys. The magnetic pockets and pod were added specifically to give you instant access to tools and valuables without lifting the strap or unfastening the bag — a practical advantage for cart players and tournament rounds.

Real-World Use Cases + Pack Lists

What’s the difference between the 7-way and 15-way tops?

The 7-way top offers fewer larger dividers (simpler club grouping) and may shave a slight amount of weight; the 15-way provides more club-by-club separation and organization. Both are velour-lined full-length dividers.

Do the bags come with locks for the garment compartment?

The Lux Pro Cart Series II includes a lock pocket for the garment compartment (lock included on the Pro model).
