HEAD Tour Racqpack

Tennis Warehouse Europe describes a single racket compartment for up to three rackets and a rolltop design, with accessory pockets around it. HEAD's own listing summary gives one open pocket for quick access and three zipped pockets for keys, phone and wallet.

At 79 cm tall it's a long bag, and a legal padel racket (45.5 cm at most) sits well inside it. The rolltop means you can cram in an extra layer or a pair of shoes and still close it, which a zipped bag won't let you do. What we couldn't find is a separate shoe compartment, a thermal lining, a material or a weight, so we haven't claimed any.

The Tour L padel bag is 40 litres too, and it's listed for seven rackets. The difference is the shape: a backpack gives you one tall compartment for rackets, and everything else has to fit into the space around it. If you carry three rackets, shoes and a change of clothes, the Racqpack is full. Two rackets and a towel is more comfortable.

Players who travel on foot, bike or public transport and want both hands free, anyone who also plays tennis or squash and wants one bag across sports, and players who like a neater, more commuter-style look than a tour bag. Pair it with a padel racket in a cover, and pick court footwear from our padel shoes range.

Take care with look-alikes. HEAD also makes a Pro X Racqpack, a separate limited model with climate control and four zipped pockets, and our listing is the Tour version.

Rackets in covers from our padel racket covers go in the racket compartment first. Shoes in a bag at the bottom, towel and clothes around them, then roll the top down and clip it. Balls from padel balls and a spare grip go in the open pocket for quick access. Browse every padel bag we stock if you need more room than this.
