Nox AT10 Team Backpack

Nox uses the Team name twice in Tapia's range. The AT10 Team bag is a 60 cm racket bag of 42 litres with a thermal section for two rackets; this is the backpack, 14 litres smaller and carried on two padded straps. The racket bag also turns up as a plain grey listing, which doesn't help, so if the photo shows a long bag with end pockets, you're looking at the wrong one.

Lamperti's fans get the same idea in black. On Padel Shack's listings the ML10 Team backpack has identical numbers, 28 litres and about 1 kg, so the choice between the two comes down to colour and whose initials you'd rather carry. Nox's Pro Series backpack is the same 28 litres in a plainer design.

The first main compartment is padded and takes a racket or a laptop, which makes it a workable commuting bag on days you play after the office. The second holds another racket alongside your clothes. Shoes go in the ventilated pocket at the front, the smaller front pocket takes a tube of balls, a phone or a bottle, and the side pockets look after keys, sunglasses and a club card.

In practice: Tapia's AT10 Genius 18K in the padded side, a tube from our padel balls range up front, and a couple of spare overgrips from the padel grips page lost somewhere in a side pocket. Neither listing gives a racket count, but two compartments with a racket in each is the honest limit.

It's the smallest of the five AT10 bags. Above it come the 42-litre Team bag, the Competition Trolley with 60 litres on wheels, the 80-litre Competition XL Compact and the 90-litre AT10 XXL.
