The 10 Best Gifts for Padel Players: Padel Bags, Covers & More

What are the best gifts for padel players? You've come to the right place. If you have someone who is passionate about padel to buy for but you’re lacking inspiration, you’ll love our curated list of gift ideas.

Here are the top 10 gifts that different types of padel and fitness addicts will love to receive: 

It’s become quite a faux pas to use plastic water bottles in recent years (and rightfully so!). Cue a wide variety of stylish, reusable and insulated bottles flooding the market.  After doing some research we found LARQ, which has made the first self-cleaning bottle we’ve seen.  

The bottle intelligently turns on every 2 hours to purify both the water you put inside as well as clean the bottle surface itself. Beyond this unique feature, insulation keeps cold liquids cold for 24 hours and enables hot liquids to maintain their temperature for 12 hours.   

At Epirus, we're constantly looking for ways of making our bags and apparel more versatile whilst ensuring the items are first and foremost designed for padel and other racket sports. Case in point: our brand new cropped leggings. The four way stretch fabric is figure flattering, breathable and fluid with every movement. A unique rear ball pocket holds up to two padel balls in place and out of the way. When the pocket isn't used it lies flat and is virtually invisible. Playing in cool weather? These leggings are warm without being bulky. Playing in warm weather? The cropped fit prevents overheating. Needless to say, the cropped legging style is right at home in the gym, at spin class or at yoga practice.

Designed to wear with the leggings, the timeless tank is made from a buttery-soft, performance fabric with plenty of stretch for a flattering fit. Slightly cropped so that it's the perfect siloutette for padel (it doesn't need to be tucked in but doesn't ride up too high whilst hitting serves or overheads) this is a classic piece that has staying power. You can't go wrong gifting a high quality staple that works both on and off the court.  

Play tennis, train or relax. This performance short is a great choice for pretty much everything. The modern fit means just the right amount of room, in just the right places. Lightweight and quick drying materials will make these shorts the go-to option every time. Equally versaile, the men's crew is a great option for all racket sports and off the court engagements. Set after set, this abrasion-resistant fabric never stops feeling buttery soft against sweaty skin. This naturally breathable crew moves from workouts to whatever's next.  

Like lawn tennis, padel can be played in a variety of climates. For the truly hardcore padel or platform tennis fans that play in near freezing weather, consider getting them high performance outerwear.

Arc’teryx is a premium outdoor apparel brand which has created thin, breathable yet astonishingly warm vests and mid-layer jackets. We love the mid-layer Atom LT vest, available for both men and women. If they aren’t the vest / gilet wearing type (some people aren't!), consider a jacket designed for trail running or a cosy hoodie made of technical fleece.     

Does the padel player in your life juggle work, travel and other active pursuits? The Epirus racket bag collections were created with this exact lifestyle in mind.  The range covers a wide variety of use cases: the Borderless Backpack V2 has a modern, sleek shape which sets it apart from sportier options on the market and has a gender-neutral feel.

The Transition Tote V2 is an obvious choice for someone that is dedicated to both padel and yoga.  The Dynamic Duffel V2 was designed with the daily commute yet is large enough to elegantly stow padel essentials without any excess bulk.

We’ve recently stumbled across Bombas, which is a comfort-focused sock and apparel brand. We were impressed by both the engineering and aesthetics apparent in a multitude of sock styles which are lightweight, purpose-built for running, working out and movement. 
Which model is the most on target for padel players? The Performance Running Ankle Sock has features such as strategic zone cushioning and airflow ventilation which are vital during long, intense matches. The best part? Bombas donates a pair of socks in tandem with each pair purchased.  

We might be a bit late to the game but we are obsessed with Hoka. The brand offers a wide range of technically sophisticated running shoes which we rate highly. We recently stumbled across their Recovery Flips which will be a saviour for sore feet after long hot sessions on the pickleball court. 

If your gift recipient plays with a Bullpadel racket, there is a chance they are already experiencing the virtues of a hesacore grip. Designed to give you added traction (so you don't need to grasp the racket as tightly), this rubber grip sits under a normal overgrip. We use this product and really like the sensation it provides. It's great value and lasts as long as the lifespan of the padel.

Whether it’s for a practice session or a match, it’s never a good idea to walk out onto the court without a proper warm up. Skipping ropes are an extremely efficient option and super compact to pack.

In the category of a functional gift that someone wouldn’t automatically buy themselves, consider the smart skipping rope from Tangram.  The rope is connected to the Smart Gym app which collects data about workout time, number of jumps and calories burned. For the ambitious skipper, the app also suggests a variety of interval cardio workouts beyond merely using the rope for warm up purposes. 

We are big fans of the innovative RecoveryTherm Cube for a variety of reasons. First, the versatility of the device (which includes various degrees of hot and cold settings) is ideal when your injury recovery protocol requires both heat and cold. Second, the cube heats and cools almost instantly. Third, you can easily multi-task while rehabbing by using the velcro fastened straps. Fourth, there is no prospect of making a mess due to a leaky bag of ice. Sold yet? We are!

We are unabashed fans of the Yeti brand which offers a vast range of products that are elegant and durable while being environmentally friendly. We suggest that Yeti's Rambler is an excellent, functional gift that will get a lot of use.

For padel players in cooler climates, commuting to the club with a warm beverage is a must. Using one of Yeti's Mugs or other items in their drinkware collection is the ideal solution.

Accessories are always a great option for padel players and lots of people use sweatbands when playing. Large or extra large sizes are especially good for warm locations. These Adidas Padel wristbands come in a variety of colours and sizes.

Every avid Padel player replaces the overgrip on their bat regularly. So a pack of overgrips is another great little accessory to give as a gift. Tournagrip's "Mega Tac" overgrips are particularly sticky and last longer than the average tacky grip.
