From small and budget-friendly to large and more premium, here are five pickleball bags we've tested and would trust with our paddles any day.

For all the talk about pickleball paddles, there's not a whole lot of attention paid to the best pickleball bag to suit your game.

You paid $300 for that JOOLA Kosmos, right? Maybe it's not the worst idea to transport it in a bag designed to keep it safe and protected.

Without a doubt, your old book bag from college or that ratty hiking bag collecting dust in the garage will do the trick. And if that works for you, cool. But pretty much every paddle brand is making pickleball-specific bags these days. There are even a handful of companies specializing in bags only.

Here are five pickleball backpacks in a range of sizes and budget options we've put to the test and can say with confidence are very good at their job.
