Bags

Badminton bags, from single-racket sleeves to six-racket tournament bags.

Bag capacity is quoted in rackets, but the number assumes rackets alone. A "six racket" bag realistically carries three or four frames plus shoes, a towel and a change of kit - which is what most players actually pack.

The feature worth paying for in this climate is a thermal compartment. Strings lose tension in heat, and a car boot in Malaysian afternoon sun gets hot enough to matter over a season.
