Sacs à dos

3-racket bags suit casual play; 6- to 9-racket bags handle tournaments with room for shoes, towels, and accessories. Pick capacity based on session length and travel needs.

Foil linings shield frames and strings from extreme heat or cold, preserving tension and graphite integrity during car or plane travel.

Rackets and balls in the main thermo pocket, shoes in the ventilated end pouch, wet gear in a waterproof sleeve, valuables in the felt-lined side pocket. Distribute weight evenly for comfy carry.

Backpacks offer hands-free commuting and fit in lockers; holdalls swallow more gear and lie flat in car boots. Frequent riders favour backpacks, tournament pros lean holdall.

Empty wet clothes promptly, open zips to air-dry, and wipe interiors with mild soap monthly. A silica gel packet reduces odour-causing moisture.
