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.
