What should I look for in a pickleball bag?

Look for dedicated paddle sleeves, a ventilated compartment for shoes or sweaty clothes, space for balls and accessories, and comfortable straps you can wear for a full day of play. Water-resistant materials, a self-standing base, and pockets for keys, phone, and sunglasses make a big difference once you’re at the courts.

Are FORWRD pickleball bags unisex?

Yes. FORWRD pickleball bags use clean, neutral designs and colorways that look sharp on any player, on and off the court.

Can I use my FORWRD pickleball bag for travel or work?

Yes. Many players use FORWRD bags as carry-on travel bags or daily commuter backpacks. The organized compartments, laptop-friendly spaces, and comfortable straps make them just as useful on a plane as they are on the pickleball court.

How do I clean and care for my pickleball bag?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth for quick cleanups. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and cold water on the fabric, then air dry. Avoid machine washing or drying to protect the structure and technical coatings.
