HEAD Tour Large Padel Bag

The Tennis Nuts listing for the orange bag is the most detailed we found. Three main compartments, one of them with the CCT+ lining; two large zipped pockets and a phone pocket on the outside; a zipped pocket inside for keys and a wallet; and a shoe compartment of its own. The outer fabric is 90% polyester and 10% PU, and the top handles have been redesigned for easier carrying.

Other shops quote slightly different fabric blends, so take the material line as a guide. What doesn't change is the layout: rackets in the main compartments, shoes below, small things in pockets where you can reach them without unpacking.

A legal padel racket is 45.5 cm at most, so there's about 14 cm of spare length. It's a comfortable fit rather than a snug one, and that's the reason to put each frame in a cover from our padel racket covers. Otherwise it slides about on the walk to the court and the frame takes the knocks.

Tennis Nuts says seven rackets. An older listing for the same bag put "9 racket" in its title, so you'll see both numbers. We'd trust seven and expect two or three to be the real-world load.

We carry several listings of this bag. They are the same family but not always the same season, so pick by colour and year.

Players with two or three rackets and a car, club regulars who want a thermal compartment for the racket they care about, and anyone upgrading from a basic cover and a carrier bag. Beginners could pair it with a beginner racket and grow into the space.

Smaller? See HEAD's Tour Backpack 25L. Bigger? The Pro X Padel Bag L is 45 litres. Every option sits on our padel bags page.

CCT+ compartment for your match racket, second racket in a cover next to it. Shoes from padel shoes in their own compartment, balls from padel balls and a spare grip in the outside pockets, phone and keys in the inside pocket. If you're still choosing the rackets, start at padel racket.
