Hey everyone,
I’m looking for recommendations on a padel backpack that works as cabin luggage on easyJet (the larger overhead bin size, 56×45×25 cm).
I travel fairly regularly and want to avoid checking in my bag — ideally just bring my racket and essentials in one backpack that fits in the overhead locker without any issues at the gate.
Has anyone found a padel backpack that consistently fits within those dimensions and doesn’t cause headaches at the airport? I’ve been looking at brands like Bullpadel, Babolat, Nox and Head — most seem to be around 32×50×23 cm which should technically fit, but I’d love to hear from people who’ve actually done it.
Bonus points if it has a thermal compartment for the racket and a separate shoe pocket!
Thanks in advance 🙏
I use my Osprey Fairpoint 40, which I bought for traveling, to carry my padel stuff to the gym. I put my racket in a small protective case (foil lined) and trainers in a shoe bag.
I have also used it as carry on and not had issues. (Haven’t used it to carry a padel racket through an airport)
Dimensions 55x 35 x 23.

I have the Bullpadel Hack 2025 backpack. It's very good. Plenty of space, including a shoe compartment, but it can only hold one racket. I had no problems taking it with me in the cabin.
