I don’t know about you, but I take a backpack with me just about everywhere I go. It’s been that way ever since I was a kid and lugged my backpack full of books to school and back home five days a week.
That’s still the case today, except those books have been replaced by laptops, cameras, and golf equipment. And I’m notoriously hard on all my equipment, which is why I recently decided to upgrade from my Jansport cloth pack to something a little higher-end and more durable.
My choice? The Vessel Prime X backpack.
This backpack is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, let alone owned.
Let’s take an in-depth look at what sets it apart.
Key Features
Ergonomic, adjustable shoulder straps and a sternum strap allow for maximum comfort during transport.
Snap-closure magnetic mechanism provides easy access to your belongings.
Wide array of pockets gives you plenty of room to store all your items, large and small.
Design and Technology
Most of the backpacks I’ve owned over the years are pretty generic in their design. They’re soft-shelled, don’t offer much exterior protection, and the zippers tend to wear out after a while.
The Vessel Prime X is built to last and keep everything inside protected. In short, it sets the bar higher than anything else out there.
The different pockets are the most notable features of the Prime X. The main compartment features two slip pockets and a zip pocket.
The tech compartment has two velour-lined sleeves that are perfect for your laptop or tablet.
A magnetic accessory pocket has a hook lock, is velour lined, and comes with a key clip.
A quick access pocket sits at the front as is also velour lined.
Two expandable water bottle sleeves mean you’ll always stay hydrated.
The neoprene lined back panel makes for comfortable carry.
Ergonomic shoulder straps add to and an adjustable sternum strap keep the Prime securely in place while you’re in transit.
Lastly, you can have the front of the Prime X customized with a logo or print of your choice for a small upcharge.

Our Experience
Like I said, I’ve owned more backpacks than I can count over the years and Prime X is the best one I’ve ever had.
I use it every day and particularly love how much room it has. Even though the Prime X isn’t excessively big, it has a ton of storage. I’m blown away by how much gear I can fit inside.
The number of different compartments is staggering too. Each one serves a purpose and keeping all my gear organized is easy.
