Have you or people in your life gotten addicted to this new sport? We have both apparel and accessories to use both on and off the court. 

Play padel, train or simply 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 versatile, the men's crew is a great option for all racket sports including pickleball as well as 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.  

For women, Cropped Leggings work for padel in addition to tennis and other racket sports. You can wear them all day (and night). Working from home one minute, hitting the court, gym or yoga studio the next.

Playing in cool weather? These leggings are warm without being bulky. Playing in warm weather? The cropped fit keeps you from overheating. The four way stretch fabric is figure flattering, breathable and fluid with every movement.

A unique rear ball pocket holds up to two balls in place and out of the way. When the pocket isn't used it lies flat and is virtually invisible.

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 padded section of the tote is designed to stow your tablet, laptop, rackets individually or together. The front pocket allows easy access to your water bottle, balls or sunglasses. The inner valuables pocket is secured by a zipper and is the location for your keys, phone, headphones and jewelery.

Looking for more space than a tote or backpack? The Dynamic Duffel V2 has room to store several rackets and all your gear for a weekend while still being more compact than a traditional racket-shaped tennis bag. The bag comes with two shoe bags to ensure that your used gear and dirty shoes are text separate from the rest of the bag contents.

If you're not keen on investing in a bespoke racket bag, our neoprene padel cover is worth an investigation. Designed to protect both your racket and the items in your bag, the cover simply zips up over rackets. Then, the racket can be carried (and concealed!) in the bag of your choice.
