Designer Padel Bags

The NomadX Hardshell Padel Backpack pairs a 5.5mm moulded EVA shell with a smooth, matte PU finish, so it keeps its clean shape whether it is packed or empty. It carries your racket, balls, a bottle and the essentials, with a velvet-lined pocket that keeps your phone, keys and cards safe.
