The Athletico Sling Bag is a versatile, padded crossbody backpack designed for sports, travel, and commuting. It features two large compartments, one padded to protect rackets or a laptop, plus a bottle pocket and three exterior pockets. The adjustable, padded strap can be anchored on either side for comfortable left or right shoulder carry, and a quick-release buckle adds convenience. Unique selling points include a fence hook, a hidden security pocket, and durable, lightweight construction.

Great Bag to Hold Multiple Racquets & SuppliesVery happy with the quality and functionality of this bag. Easily holds 2-3 racquets and the addition larger compartment can hold a decent number of balls. Also has 3 additional smaller zipper pockets. Like how one of them is on the pack side of the bag, great fit holding cell phone, wallet and other items. Sling style design makes it super comfortable when slung over should or just carried with your hand. The pouch for holding a water bottle can accommodate a large size bottle and be secured with drawstring that's built into top of pouch. The heavy-duty hook is perfect for hanging bag on fence when playing or a wall hook when storing. I found the zippers to be of good quality as is the stitching and workmanship of thr entire bag.

Almost perfectEverything is great in this sling bag:
– sturdy material
– strap attachable to either bottom corner of the bag for wearing on either left or right side of body
– large two side pockets for gear, clothing or whatever
– a nice front pocket, the lower one that is is shown with the phone sticking out – but wait, put your phone to the upper front pocket because…
– a nice front pocket, the upper one lined with soft cushy fabric to pamper your phone
– a more secure pocket on the inner side – facing your body when the bag is carried
Gave 5 stars although a nice detail is missing: for the two side pockets, tabs on the bottom of the zipper to hold by when closing up the zipper.

Nice BagThis bag appears to be well-made. Had it for a day and used it once so this is a very early review. It has easy glide zippers with pockets for phones, keys, wallets, etc. The main compartment could hold 4 paddles (we only used 2) and was deep enough for several balls. Another nice-sized pocket for caps, towels, gloves, etc., and a hook to hang on fencing. The strap is cushioned and you can switch it to a left or right sling depending on preference. The price was not overly high and was in line with other bags. Not the most expensive and not the cheapest either. Good bag overall.

Great Versatile and Lightweight Pickleball Bag!I love this Pickleball bag! I love the shape and color, it's lightweight, and I love the sturdy, easy to use zippers. The bag gives me everything I need, pouch for three paddles, pouch for my towel, pouch for my protein bars, and a pouch for misc storage like my glasses, keys, etc. Back side even has separate pouch with zipper for my phone! I also love that it is a sling bag with just the one adjustable strap.

Inevitably too smallOverall, this is a functional bag with lots of pockets. Unfortunately, the pockets are not designed to expand. The main compartment will hold about 3 paddles, but all the other pockets and compartments ultimately end up being too small especially since they don’t expand.
If all you want to carry is your paddles, a sports bottle, and a few other small items (car keys, phone, etc), then this is a fine small bag. But, if you want to carry more (snacks, change of clothing, shoes, sunglasses, etc), then this bag will be too small.
Lastly, the built in hook is a great idea, making it really easy to hang your bag instead of leaving it on the ground (it doesn’t really stand up well).
