Absolutely. Our bags are carry-on compatible and include compartments for everything you need on the go. Some even feature luggage pass-throughs for easy airport transport.
Let customers speak for us
Such a great experience from the moment I put the bag in my cart. Had a personal reach out that helped me finalize my decision to purchase and loved the bag the moment I opened it. The fence clips, magnetic ball compartments and towel loops are all such amazing details that are so perfect for pickleball players. It's comfortable to wear, stands upright when I put it down, and I love that there's a spot for everything.
The feature I enjoy the most about my new Court Ranger Pickleball Backpack by Forwrd is the high quality materials used to manufacture the bag. The outer material is very thick and protective. The zippers are top of the line YKK zippers with stitched pulls. The bottom of the bag is weather/dirt/scuff proof coated nylon thick enough to hold its shape when placed on the ground.
Size wise, I find the bag quite adequate for typical pickleball outings with room for up to 3 paddles, water bottle, 3 balls, plus separate pockets for smaller accoutrements such as car keys, wallet, phone, and glasses.
Very comfortable shoulder straps that don't slide off your shoulder when just using one strap. I also like the molle loops on the front of the bag for the future expandability.
It's the perfect dedicated pickleball bag without screaming "I'm a pro wannabe". Materials are top notch.
Look no further! The design of the bag was definitely well thought out. My favorite part of the bag are the different pockets for organization, the rougher bottom texture, the fence hooks,and that my 50 oz yeti fits in the water bottle pocket, I just wished there were 2 of them!
Quality built backpack and love the reinforcement on bottom of bag as well as hide away zipper pocket. It is larger enough to hold my shoes and change of clothes
Completely lives up to the hype. Not a “big” bag, but it is described exactly as it comes and is of the highest quality!
A Great accessory that makes the bag look even better!
Love this new Ranger bag. Perfect placement for pockets and organizing. Sturdy and clean lines. Everything fits where I want it.
Has a very clean look, great quality material and super spacious. Has a way more room than I thought. Absolutely love it!!!
I have an iteration of every FORWRD Bag to date and while all of them have merits, the Court Ranger is the best balanced bag of the three.
The Court Caddy is great and packs plenty of storage for gear (with the new versions having some modularity) but imho it tries to do a bit too much for its size. The Cross Court Sling is very good but could've benefited from a better layout, as one had to make some compromises in what to pack.
The Court Ranger though is what Goldilocks would call "Just right." Enough space for three paddles (using the front sleeve). 1 Interior Ball Pocket. 1 Bottle Pocket. Two padded sleeves. It opens up wide to access everything inside. 2 large zippered pockets on the inside plus two smaller pockets for quick access to other accessories and one zippered pocket on the outside to hold phone/wallet/keys.
Minor thing but important to me is that I can make it my own a lot easier than the other two bags. The material's thin enough for enamel pins in good spaces and was able to sew a patch onto the front. I had mixed results with iron-on patches on the other two bags.
The only criticism I have of the bag is minor; the bag doesn't quite hold its shape on its own and the bag is slightly asymmetrical due to the collapsible design. But maybe it'll work itself out over time.
Moving "Forwrd" I'll be using this bag as my main pickleball bag, but use the Court Caddy in the winter months when I have to carry court shoes.
When I buy something I like to buy something nice and never have to buy again. This is the best pickleball on the market hands down. Very well built. Will be using it for traveling also so multipurpose for me. I love it so much.
Don't hesitate to buy the Ranger! I did a lot of research prior to purchasing and decided on the Ranger knowing that Forwrd made high quality bags with thoughtful touches. My only pre-purchase concerns were that I didn't want too big of a bag, but also needed something to hold paddles, shoes, and two water bottles.
The Ranger is spacious and its shape/size doesn't appear any larger than a laptop backpack. It also holds a lot (3 paddles, shoes, 2 water bottles, massage gun, plenty of accessories, and with room to spare)!
Even my super tall (13" 36 oz) Stanley fits and is secure without fear of being top heavy and falling out.
The Ranger is a fantastic bag and Forwrd far exceeded my expectations in quality, fit, and usability! Will highly recommend to others!
Got this for my husband and he loves it. He was anti pickleball bag but once he saw this one, he was all in.
Love my new bag, very sturdy and very sexy. My only comment and want to know is, how do I clean it?
At first I wasn't sold on the bag. 300$ for a pickleball bag sounded insane to me. Then after my cheaper bag ripped after 2 months I revisited the idea of purchasing not only a more expensive bag but a higher quality bag. Then i watched more YT reviews and it really made me reconsider purchasing. Then when I saw they were having a sale I had zero reasons NOT to buy this bag. And after receiving it I knew this was a great purchase. honestly even without the discount it's such a awesome bag and worth the money if you can afford it. Is it a necessity... honestly no...it's definitely a splurge...but again I'm extremely happy with my purchase and feel like it's worth the money. Luxury meets functionality at its finest. 5/5 for me.
