If there’s a brand that’s set themselves apart from the competition when it comes to golf bags, it’s Vessel. They make staff bags for the majority of Tour players, and have a wide selection of premium bags for amateurs like you and I.
The Sunday III stand bag is one of their newest releases, and it more than lives up to the high standard we’ve come to expect from Vessel.
This is the perfect bag for players that like to walk, carry their clubs, and want a high-quality bag that’s lightweight.

Design and Technology
When it comes to the design of the Vessel Sunday III, no company does it better.
First, it’s made of tour-grade synthetic leather that’s built to last. This is different from a lot of other stand bags that are made of synthetic cloth which tends to fade in the sun and is susceptible to frays and tears.
The Equilibrium straps are self-adjusting. There’s no having to fuss with buckles and clamps to find the right fit. Just throw the straps over your shoulders and you’re good to go.
The patented rotator stand system is worth mentioning as well. It provides ultimate stability no matter what kind of terrain you set the Sunday III down on.
Three-way separation at the top makes club organization simple, and two full-length dividers keep your shafts from getting tangled up.
Five pockets allow you to carry all the necessary gear and keep it organized. All the zippers are waterproof too.
For a small upcharge, the detachable ball pocket can be personalized.

Our Experience
I’ve been a big fan of Vessel golf bags ever since they came to the market. While most of the major manufacturers mass produce bags whose quality is decent, Vessel prides itself on premium craftsmanship and it’s reflected in their products.
What I like most about the Sunday III is how lightweight it is. Even on the hottest of Arizona days, I have no problem carrying this bag for 18 holes.
Its construction and materials are second to none too. The tour-grade synthetic leather has stood the test of time and looks sharp.
There’s also ample room to store everything from the bare essentials to my rain gear.
I have nothing but high praise for the Sunday III.
