Bullpadel Avant S Padel Bag

One racket in each thermal side pocket, shoes in the ventilated middle section, a change of clothes and a towel in the main compartment, keys and overgrips in the small side pockets. That's a session for one player with a spare racket, or two players travelling light.

If that sounds thin next to a four-racket Bullpadel bag, it's meant to. Most club players own one racket in use and one in reserve, not a kit bag's worth; the Avant S is sized for that reality rather than a touring pro's.

The Avant S Gold Carbon is the same line in a black and gold finish, with two main compartments wide enough for a round, diamond or teardrop racket; Padel Nuestro doesn't publish its dimensions, so we can't say if it's any bigger than this one. Step up to the Vertex bag or the Advance bag and you get double the racket capacity at roughly 60 x 30 x 40 cm, for more money. The plain Avant bag is the faux-leather version of the line, listed at 58 x 30 x 33cm with room for up to four rackets, though its listing contradicts itself on whether the pockets are thermal.

Anyone who owns one racket in play and a spare, not a locker full of them: a beginner working through our guide to choosing a padel racket and a best padel racket for beginners pick, an intermediate player who travels light, or a second bag for a child's kids padel racket. It also makes sense as a cheaper way into the Bullpadel look if the full tour bag is more than you need. The full range sits on our padel bag page, and Bullpadel rackets covers which racket to put inside it.

Padel Nuestro's own listing contradicts itself on this bag: its features table says there's no thermal or shoe compartment, while its description names both clearly. We've gone with the description, which matches every other Bullpadel bag of this size, rather than what looks like a template error in the features table.

Grey with orange and black trim is the only colour we currently stock for this listing; the Gold Carbon version is a separate black and gold product. Keep rackets out of a hot car regardless of the thermal pocket, and leave the shoe section unzipped after a session so it dries out.
