Squash bags — they hold yer stuff. There are a few types of squash bags you may be interested in:
- Shoulder Bags — The standard bag, big enough to enclose your rackets and generally worn over the shoulder, sometimes with one strap and sometimes two (i.e. backpack-style).
- Backpacks — These are smaller than the shoulder bags, more like a regular-sized backpack (as the name implies), where the racket handle sticks out the back of the bag to save space.
- Duffel Bags — If you are down with the rounded duffel bag style.
- Travel Bags — For bringing your gear on airplanes and stuff.
For fun, check out the What’s in your bag? page, where you can see photos submitted by readers showing what’s in their bag, and submit a photo of your own bag, too!

Why should handles stick out of backpacks? But protected in every other bags. Why not longer bags with the same narrow width?

After searching and searching and reviewing bags, I finally ordered the genuine 6 racquet squash bag from Karakal. This is over the shoulder style bag that can be used with one or two straps over the shoulders.
It has one good sized center compartment, a multi-racquet compartment on each side, two smaller side pockets, a soft lined eyeglass pocket and a dedicated shoe or sweaty gear pocket. Plus the two racquet and the shoes pockets have small mesh vent screens
The bag is lightweight yet well made and very sturdy. I LOVE the bag and very pleased with my final decision. I found a guy in Canada (where I live) who stocks the Karakal line of Squash gear, he shipped the bag to me for a reasonable shipping fear (live in Vancouver area) and he gave great customer service. (He included no charge with the bag three replacement Karakal grip strips as a bonus for ordering the bag)
I have surfed this blog site lots, in fact bought the Salming “gecko” shoes due to spotting them here first, but you seem not to have any Karakal gear on your site. Wonder if you have any feedback on the rest of their Sqaush gear
Cheers

The Wilson backpack models are quite spacious. Highly recommended! The main compartment is very spacious, and the more cube-like shape makes it easier to keep packing stuff in there. The shoulder bags, even with backpack straps on them, have long, slender compartments for your non-racquet gear, which is much more difficult to pack.
