Bullpadel Vertex Bag 2026 (Black)

Two thermal compartments sit at either end, each taking two rackets. Between them is the main compartment for clothes, towels and balls, and a separate ventilated section keeps sweaty shoes from the rest of your kit. An exterior zip pocket on the side takes keys, a phone and a spare overgrip, and the padded straps and foam back panel let you carry the lot on your back.

One oddity to know about: Padel Nuestro's spec box lists the thermal and shoe compartments as 'no', while its own description, and every other listing we've seen, describes both. We've gone with the descriptions, and we'll check the bag itself when stock arrives.

They're lined pockets that slow down temperature change, which helps on a hot summer afternoon in a car park and on a frosty morning before an early match. Every brand claims one, and none publishes a test showing what it does to a racket, so treat it as sensible protection rather than a performance feature. The bigger enemy is leaving a racket in a hot car boot all day, thermal pocket or not.

For 2026 Bullpadel built its Vertex, Hack and XPLO bags to much the same plan: four rackets, two thermal compartments, ventilated shoes. The Hack racket bag adds semi-rigid sides; the XPLO bag matches the Vertex for size. The club-range Advance racket bag has the same four-racket layout, and the Vertex Geo bag is the same Vertex layout in blue, named for Pablo Cardona's racket line rather than Juan Tello's. If you only ever carry two rackets, the Tour bag is smaller and simpler, and the Vertex backpack is the smaller option from the same family.

League and tournament players with a spare racket or two, couples sharing one bag, and anyone who wants their shoes separate from their clothes. It pairs naturally with the Vertex 05 27, and the Bullpadel rackets page covers the rest of the family.
