This was a big it for my pickle ball loving family member. It is everything it mentions in the description & more. Great colors and roomy.

This is an awesome backpack. It is a pretty large at 19 3/4 X 15 inch at it’s widest point. It can hold a lot of stuff. I can’t say enough nice things about it. They have literally thought of everything with this bag. Even down to if you would rather have a cross body bag it can be that too buy simply zipping the straps together. They even put a metal hook on the top of this bag for hanging and put a comfortable rubber grip on the top handle. The shoe pocket that is lined with clear plastic has enough room in it that I could put 2 pairs of shoes. They included to round air vents on the back for air circulation in the shoe pocket. Lots of other pockets as you can see in my pictures. I wanted to try and explain how great this item is, but pictures do a better job. The whole thing just feels like quality.I am excited to get to use it. It might even be over kill for a beginner.I have no idea what I am going to put in all those pockets when I go play pickle ball. 🤷🏻‍♀️ This bag is worth the price if you are a pickle ball player. It could even be used for other things as well and not just pickle ball.Also, for clarity. Nothing comes with the backpack. It is just the bag. The advertisement pics made that a little unclear.

I ordered the bag with the shoe storage. I was surprised at how much I love this bag. We are new to pickleball and I thought this bag would work well to contain everything for travel. It has multiple pockets including a big back pocket where I put a have a portable net and 2 paddles. There's a paddle pocket in front of that one, and the only negative about this bag is that this particular pocket doesn't like to zip shut if you don't position the handles of the rackets just right. You can only put paddles in one way, so it can be challenging to get the paddles to fit well enough that the zipper will close over them. There are multiple little pockets all over, too for phone, i.d. or whatever. There's a mesh side pocket for a water bottle. The shoe compartment is nice because it's fully lined with clear vinyl so any dirt or water is contained and cleans easily. You could also use this pocket for other things. It's not that wide, though, so I'm not sure if bigger shoes would fit well. There is a metal S hook at the top for hanging. It's a great feature, and sturdy. My favorite part of the bag is the removable, wearable mesh bag for ball storage. It's cute how it hangs on the bag, but super functional to carry extra balls. It can be worn like a fanny pack or hung on the net, a wall, etc. and when you're done it easily attaches to the bag again. I'm very impressed with this bag. The only thing I don't like is the paddle pocket, as I explained above. I think the price is a little high, but I think this bag will last a while and it's highly functional for pickleball. You could also use it for other things, too...a beach bag, maybe? wet swimsuits in the shoe compartment...the front mesh bag for beach toys? Just an idea.

I picked this up for my partner who has just started playing pickleball, so I don't have a lot of knowledge or experience yet for comparison, but this bag seems fairly nice, but with a couple of shortcomings. The main one is there is a nice variety of functional compartments, yet the one for carrying the paddle itself (you know, the main purpose of having the bag to begin with) is boarderline too small - It barely fits a single paddle without a paddle cover on it. My other critique is there is a plethora of straps and strings that may serve some practical function, but so far they just seem to get in the way. Outside of that, the bag seems well made and pretty practical

I love that this bag holds everything we need for pickleball. It has several pocket and lots of room for the balls and racket! Great quality!

If you're looking for a pickleball (and lots of other uses) bag to hold everything, this is it!The backpack / bag has quite a few separate areas and spaces and pockets, but it's has good access points and good space within each, so it doesn't feel like it has too many pockets and spaces.My 'water bottle'/coffee thermos (24ounce with neoprene sleeve) almost never fits in the designated spots in various bags... But it fits in this one!Love the cinch string on that pocket so even if you're just doing a mini something it should hold it secure.Even the separate shoe space has enough room for two or three pairs (those shown in my picture are a woman's 7, and hopefully the picture depicts that there is plenty of space for at least two more pairs). I love that it's super easy to sneak peek this shoe area! When I'm in the main pocket, or even if I just barely unzip the main pocket I can see through the clear plastic for the shoes to ensure that I have my shoes and confirm which shoes I have with me without having to open the separate shoe area.The completely separate zippered access for where the pickleball paddles go is spacious enough for more (my picture has two in that area) - not cramped at all.And even when you have a pair of shoes and two rackets and a 24 oz thermos and pickleballs and lots more stuff, I still have the main pocket space left over for much more stuff.None of the separate spaces feels cramped or like it's usurping space from one of the other spaces. The quality of zippers, strapping, stitching, mesh material when appropriate, magnetized snaps when appropriate, etc. are all good. I did not run into a location or a feature that I felt was a 'weak area'. Plus! It has a 15-year warranty!Even if the fence hook were to get bent out of shape (not probable) it could easily be replaced.Digging deep to find something to criticize I would say I'm a little worried about keeping it clean. All inside and outside surfaces are cleanable material for sure... But the light bright colors will likely not look so light and bright after a few months of hard use. The main strap (s) can be adjusted, separated out for two separate backpack straps or zippered together for one, but also the clip(s) on the bottom of each could be released and put to just one of the D hooks if desired for more of a traditional feeling sling bag.Im a small person at 4 foot 11 and about 100 lb so I was also worried it would be huge for me. But it really isn't "too big". Not minimalist stealthy either though.Turns out I think it is my new favorite bag on the planet! For things other than pickleball. It will be great as a new shower bathroom bag... My quick dry towel and Japanese scrubbing cloth can go in the mesh areas on the side or in the front to dry quickly and easily. Dirty clothes and or bigger shampoo bottles or things I'm worried are going to be yucky can go in the shoe pocket, and more versatility as a new bathroom bag. But even better! This is also going to fill the role of my "stolen 3 years ago" bag that I take on trips... There's the roll line carry on, and then there's the "purse/personal" bag and that's what this is going to do with five star performance! I took it on a bike ride today and I had both a 24 oz iced tea container and a 24 oz coffee thermos both full, Plus two pickleball rackets and a couple of balls and phone wallet etc etc and I still had lots of space. In fact when I was riding the bike back home I decided to stop by Goodwill and got four dresses and another baseball hat and it all fit easily without breaking a sweat. LOVE this bag for all those bigger jobs where you want to have lots of stuff!;
