The best badminton bags to help you carry on winning

The Raquex bag is packed full of storage, with two main compartments that can store up to six racquets and an extra pocket on the front for all your small accessories. We had to give this bag the top spot because of its ingenious design, with an additional trainer/shoe compartment underneath the main pocket to store your shoes after a sweaty session. This will not only prevent your whole bag from smelling like Eau de sports shoes but will also stop your belongings from potentially getting dirty. Genius, right?

Whether you prefer to carry your badminton bag on your back or shoulder, this HEAD bag is designed with practicality at the forefront. With two spacious compartments and extra zipper pockets on the exterior, it can hold up to six racquets and all your court essentials. Plus, you can choose from three different colourways, including black and white, for the minimalist. Like most of HEAD's products, this bag is created with high performance in mind, allowing you to be the best athlete you can possibly be.

This bag has everything you'd need from your ordinary badminton bag - except it's a handy backpack. With a capacity of 32L and enough pockets for all your necessities (including a large laptop pocket), this badminton backpack is built for an athlete that travels from work to the court. Arguably the best part about this bag, though, is the removable padded straps, so you never feel weighed down by your equipment.

The HEAD Elite racquet bag is a comfortable way to carry around all your most important badminton accessories. This bag has a padded compartment for up to two racquets (although some reviewers found they can stretch this to three) and side pockets for your small bits and bobs. Another handy feature is the integrated shoe compartment (this always gets a thumbs up from us) to keep your smelly shoes separate.

For just under £25, this Athletico bag definitely packs a punch. Designed to store three racquets, each cushioned for protection. But that's not all - external pockets are there to stash your essentials. Need room for your shuttlecocks? Check. A secure spot for your phone? Check. Plus, you call the shots on how to carry it. Whether slinging it over your shoulder with the padded strap or clasping it as a tote, the choice is yours. While this bag is easy on your wallet, it's still built to last.

For any badminton enthusiast looking to up their game with style, the Wilson Super Tour bag might be the accessory you've been looking for. The drawback - you have to like the colour red. That's because this bag comes in only one colour, a bright red, that's sure to make you stand out. The Super Tour bag can accommodate up to six racquets, along with all your necessities, thanks to its generously sized outer side pockets. What's new to this bag you ask? Reinforced side panels have been added for enhanced durability, ensuring your gear stays protected while on the move.

The HEAD Supercombi bag is a game-changer for badminton coaches, or anyone wanting to carry multiple racquets at once. With two spacious main compartments, it effortlessly holds all your essentials and up to a whopping nine racquets. Plus, you can choose how you carry this bag - sling it on your back or over your shoulder - whichever feels most comfortable. Here's the cherry on top - the hangtag is made from recycled paper and hemp cord because sustainability is always in style.

This Wilson racquet bag is designed to hold a maximum of three racquets. Saying that, there's definitely room for a couple of shuttlecocks and a gym towel if required. In terms of compartments, this bag is mainly one compartment, and it's zipped which is a nice touch. The only other pocket is on the exterior, which some reviewers do say is quite small, so that is something to take into consideration. But, for beginners and children, this badminton bag would be brilliant.

Although this might not be a badminton bag as such, a cover still comes in handy. Essentially a badminton racquet cover does exactly the same as a bag - protects from dust, dirt and impact - just on a smaller scale and without any room for your other gear. For beginners wanting to protect their badminton racquets, a cover like this is perfect. And, the shoulder strap can be adjusted for easy carrying to and from the court.
