adidas Barricade IV Tour 6 Racquet Bag

Living in Arizona, I wanted a white bag to keep my racquets and drinks as cool as possible. This is a great bag with many special features I didn't see in other bags. For example, the built in drink cooler compartment is upright on top of your bag when you lean it up against the tennis court fence. It holds two of the tall 24-oz insulated bike bottles, which I consider quite an accomplishment. And, if they leak a little, it stays in that easily wiped out compartment. The bag also has a built in compartment for shoes that is vented to the outside, but protected from everything else in your bag. I usually put my sweaty towel in there after playing. Both of these compartments are soft and squash down if you don't need them. I find the six-pack sized bag perfect for everything I need on-court. I take three racquets in the insulated racquet compartment and put other court items on the other side. The racquet compartment is big enough that it will hold 4 comfortably. My only complaint is that the zippers don't quite go around far enough for my liking, and require putting the racquets in handle first. Reading others' reviews before I bought it, some people questioned the small microfiber lined pocket on the top. But I find it a perfect place to keep my tennis sunglasses where they're safe from getting scratched or crunched. The side zip pocket on the racquet side is full-length and is perfect for wallet, keys (there's even a hook) and phone, with room for lots of other stuff. One other thing I think is smartly designed is that although the top and sides are white to reflect the sun, the bottom is black so it doesn't show the dirt you may pick up with it sitting on the court. One other wish-for feature would be removable backpack straps, although I admit I don't know why I would do that. The single shoulder strap is removable. This is a very nice, sturdy and well-made bag. The fabric is thick and the white fabric has a pattern much like rip-stop nylon, so looks even richer in person than in the photos. The extra features really stand out under use and I am very happy I bought this one to protect my gear from the Arizona heat.

This is a great bag. Lots of different pockets to keep everything organized and the perfect amount of space. Currently, I have 3 racquets in the main pocket, a pair of size 11 court shoes and 2 pairs of thick socks in the shoe pocket, in the second main pocket I have a towel, 3 cans of new balls and 4 balls rolling around. There's a thermal pocket for my big water bottle, a fleece lined pocket for my iPhone and a big pocket on the side of the bag that I put key keys and sunglasses case inside. There's still plenty of room for clothing or accessories.Quality is very good. Lots of padding and the bag keeps it shape with all my equipment inside. I expect this to last a very long time (plus there's a lifetime warranty, though I'm not sure how to redeem or what it actually covers). I didn't think I'd use the backpack straps, but they're actually very comfortable and convenient, so I removed the should strap and just use the backpack straps now. I don't actually have to walk very far with the bag, but if I did the backpack straps are perfect.The zippers are metal and good quality, but they make a ton of noise. I wrapped some paper towel and tape around some so they stop clanking around so much. Other than that, this bag is great. Super convenient and lots of good space for someone with 2-4 racquets and a bit of gear to carry.

The bagg is ok, but it seems to be used! Got some dirt inside of it. Black electric tape around the middle handle. Also no price tagg or brand tagg on it. Dirty backstraps. This was sold directly by amazon so i expected more quality. It was sold as new but i received a used one. I dont live in the US so it wil cost to much to send it back and wait for a new one.

It's hard to find a racquet bag that's not plastered with branding that may not match the sticks you're using. In addition, it's hard to find a bag that has enough room for not only racquets, but all the other little things you need to take to the court. The adidas Barricade IV Tour bag comes close. I didn't need/want a monster 15 racquet trunk, but definitely larger than a "3 racquet" bag, which is generally only large enough for 1-2 sticks and some pocket change.Key points/features:- Realistically enough room for four racquets if you need to carry other stuff (shirts, grips, bandages/tape, armbands, etc.). I'm carrying 3, which gives me enough extra storage in each main compartment to hold other items. I'm don't treat my racquets like museum pieces, so I'll put other items right in with them.- Having said that, needs a dedicated storage compartment for larger items like extra clothes, cans of balls, etc.- There is a small lined pocket on the top that is designed for "cell phones," if your cell phone is like an iPhone 4 or smaller. A big phone is a very tight squeeze if it fits at all. I just keep the change in there.- The side storage pocket is a much better option for phone, keys, wallet, etc.- Three different ways of carrying the bag: single handle, single strap, or backpack straps. I have not used it as a backpack, just use the sling strap. One annoyance is the swivel hinges at each end of the strap; they squeak irritatingly and constantly.- Shoe compartment is big enough and on the opposite end is a thermal lined pouch for drinks.Overall it's a very nice bag for a good price, and it doesn't advertise a racquet brand you may/may not own. If they'd add a center storage compartment and engineer out that hinge squeak, it'd be a 5-star bag.

Standard rackets have to be wedged in. Not enough pockets.

Disliked :There is no "thermal lined temperature controlled pocket to keep your strings from warping in the heat" like it says in the descrition.Like: collor , size, good to carry 3 racquets and gears
