ADV Pro Tennis Bag V3 - Premium Tennis Racquet Backpack with Cooler Pocket, Ventilated Shoe Compartment & Sweat-Resistant Storage | Organized Sports Bag for Men & Women | Perfect for Tournaments, Practice & Gym

If you’ve been looking for an innovative and high quality tennis bag, look no further. I first heard about ADV on YouTube and after doing a bunch of research, I ended up purchasing both the backpack and the Jetpack Pro V2 bag. They both rock. I have a separate review for the backpack.These are not cheap bags—they are priced as premium products and I think ADV delivered on the value for the money. It’s well built, beautifully designed, and just extremely well thought-out. The grey material on the outside is soft yet tough. All the straps, handles, zippers and pockets are well constructed and feel durable. I went back and forth on the accent color, but settled on “lava” for both bags. Funny enough, Amazon accidentally sent me the Volt color for the Jetpack Pro bag, which is fine because it’s a great color. The backpack is lava, and I had been worried it might be too feminine since I heard it described as “Nadal pink”. However, the truth is multiple colors are used and the liner is red, and only a couple straps trend toward light coral, or anywhere near pink. I don’t think you can go wrong with either color, but Volt is the safer pick if you’re worried about it. Personally, lava feels a bit more fun and aggressive.The Jetpack Pro is $50 more than the backpack, and I feel like I got my money’s worth. It seems huge in comparison! Yet, it’s not bulky or cumbersome. But the amount I can fit in there is incredible. There are SO MANY pockets that it would be hard to list every one of them. And they’re different types of pockets that can fit a variety of items and uses. You probably won’t even know about all the little pockets or secrets of the bag until you’ve had it for awhile.The Jetpack Pro can fit up to 6 racquets. I saw another reviewer claiming it can’t fit anywhere near that amount, but that person is 100% wrong. Right now I have 3 racquets in one side, and 2 racquets plus a SwingVision fence mount (bigger than a racquet) in the other side. Depending on how the handles are arranged, it can be slightly tight if you zip all the way over them, but it’s not a problem at all—they all fit just fine. I’ve even stuck extended length racquets in and they fit as well.The “cooler” pocket on top is really neat. It can fit an entire 32 oz water bottle plus a bunch of snacks with no problem. When you have the bag hung on the fence, it’s nice to be able to keep your water in there with the flap over it, keeping it cool throughout a full session. Very nice. Nothing on this bag feels like a gimmick—it was designed to actually be useful, and it works.The hooks on the back might seem like a minor feature, but it’s funny how much more accessible it makes the bag while providing space on the bench. Every single time I hang my bag (or backpack) on the fence, someone says “oooohh” and compliments the bag. It’s crazy that it took this long for someone to realize this is a necessity.So what makes this bag really stand out over the competition? Aside from the quality, it’s just so intelligently designed. This bag was not designed by a marketing department, it was designed by a real person who thought about how it would actually be used. For example, while most bags that fit on your back put the straps on the back of the bag, ADV put the straps on the front of the bag knowing that the back will be put on the ground, and you probably don’t want dirt and grime from the ground rubbed against your back. That’s just smart. The straps don’t interfere with accessing the compartments, and it’s perfectly comfortable. But if for some reason you want the straps to be on the back, the straps can easily be moved to the back as well. It’s just good design. I saw another reviewer complain that the shoe storage compartment is on the bottom, so if you open it while the bag is hanging, stuff can fall out. I kinda get his point, except that the storage is really for sweaty clothes/shoes that you might stick in when you’re done, when the bag is laying in the trunk of the car or something. And the genius of it is that the shoe/sweaty clothes storage is optional—it’s there if you want to use it, but it’s completely out of the way and doesn’t subtract from the other space in the bag if you don’t want to use it. For me, I have the center storage filled with nearly an entire case of cans of tennis balls, and would not want a bunch of that space devoted to sweaty clothes storage. I usually just throw that stuff in my trunk then straight into the washer when I get home anyway.There are always compromises, and ADV could and probably will come out someday with an even larger, crazier bag that will hold 12 racquets, a closet, a bathroom vanity with a small sink, who knows! But I didn’t want that bag and probably never would. I wanted this bag, a medium-largish tennis bag that does everything I want, cleverly holds the things I need while keeping them easily accessible, and does so with a sleek and sporty form factor. I really don’t want to walk into the courts looking like I’m going to camp there for a week.So, I have the ADV backpack and the Jetpack Pro bag. Originally, I planned to check them out and return the one I didn’t want, but I ended up loving both of them and keeping both. They’re similar but quite different and I’m so glad I have both. I really would not be able to tell you which one I prefer. Usually, I keep the Jetpack Pro in my car with my extra strings and everything else I need in there. When I get to the courts, I choose the 2-3 racquets I plan to play with and leave the extras in the Pro bag, and just take the backpack to the courts. It’s nice that the handles stick out of the backpack so they can dry after I play. However, recently I’ve been testing a bunch of racquets so I’ve been bringing both bags to the courts, which has been fun to compare them side by side. They both function so well and I’m very pleased with both purchases.I don’t normally do reviews, but ADV’s bags impressed me enough that I want to support them. They’ve brought innovation to some products that have basically been the same for many decades. Way to go ADV!
