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.

What makes FORWRD pickleball bags different from other brands?

FORWRD bags are designed by players and built with premium technical fabrics, YKK zippers, and court-ready layouts. Every pocket, hook, and strap is tested in real play, then refined from player feedback. We back every pickleball bag with a lifetime warranty.

Which FORWRD pickleball bag is best for me?

How many paddles fit in a pickleball bag?

The Court Caddy fits up to 5 paddles with modular sleeves for custom setups. The Court Ranger comfortably holds 2–3 paddles, and the Cross Court Sling is ideal for 1–2 paddles plus essentials.

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.
