Bullpadel Vertex Backpack 2026

Tennisnuts lists four: a large main compartment for clothes, a towel and bottles; a thermal compartment for your rackets; a shoe compartment that keeps grubby soles away from everything else; and a laptop compartment with ergonomic foam padding. Mesh side pockets take a bottle each, and the whole thing carries on two padded straps.

Two rackets is the published capacity. That covers most club players, who bring a main racket and maybe a spare. If you routinely carry three or four, you've outgrown a rucksack.

It helps more than it sounds. A thermal compartment slows temperature change, which is useful when your racket sits in the bag at your desk all day or in a car before an evening match. No brand publishes a test of what it does to a racket, so think of it as sensible protection rather than a performance claim. What it can't do is save a racket left in a hot car boot all afternoon, so don't.

The Hack Premier backpack is nearly the same size, but its listings mention neither a thermal pocket nor a laptop sleeve. The full-size Vertex bag carries up to four rackets in two thermal compartments, which is what you want for tournaments. Between them, this is the one for a daily commute. If you only ever carry one racket and no laptop, the plainer Advance backpack does the basics without the thermal pocket or shoe section.

Commuters, students and anyone who plays after work and wants one bag for the laptop and the racket. It pairs with the Vertex 05 27 and the Vertex Vibram 26I shoe. Our padel bag page has rucksacks and racket bags from every brand, and the Bullpadel rackets page covers the Vertex family.
