The Athletico Sling Bag is head and shoulders above the competition and now comes in different colors. **Q: Why is this one more costly than the red one?** A: Blue is nice? **Q: Can i fit a thin 3 ring binder in this bag?** A: We have a standard 3-ring binder that is 2 inches wide. It will fit but closing the zipper is very tight. But it will fit. Barely. Hope this helps. That was in the largest compartment. It will not fit in the smaller one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Bare Essentials Pack For Pickleball Pack *by I***R on December 4, 2025* At the young age of 74+, my one month pickleball adventure came to a crashing end due to rebellious knees.

I went home to Amazon and ordered this blue Athletico Sling bag and I am delighted. Excellent quality, zippers are high quality, four diffent compartments. Highly recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent bag for the price but has some issues *by D***D on August 1, 2025* Pros: Love the bright pink color, color is accurate & just what I was looking for! Easily holds 6 balls in large front pocket & 2 or more paddles in larger 2nd front pocket. Lightly padded shoulder strap (but other bags for less $ have thicker padding). Love that it has 3 smaller pockets for “stuff” like keys, phone & top front pocket is lined with a soft material. The water bottle holder is great but will only accommodate a16 oz. water bottle. Cons: The top front lined small pocket is too small to hold even a standard iPhone 13! The pocket on the back is huge; as wide as the bag! But the zipper opening is only 5 1/2” so tuff to get stuff in & out. Makes no sense! Why isn’t the zipper wider? My last issue is that the bag is missing a hook to hang the it onto a fence. There is a loop at the top of the bag so I’ll make it work by attaching a carabiner, However, competitor’s bags that cost less have hooks. Over all, a decent bag for the price but has some serious issues. ## Frequently Bought Together - Athletico Sling Bag - Crossbody Backpack for Pickleball, Tennis, Racketball, and Travel for Men and Women - Selkirk Sport SLK Halo Raw Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle | Designed in The USA | Choose from The T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Power, The 18k Ultraweave Control, or The Kevlar Linkweave Thermoformed Pro - Selkirk Pro S1 Ball | Crack-Resistant | 38 Hole Outdoor Pickleball Balls | USAPA Approved Pickle Ball for Tournament Play | Advanced Aerodynamics | --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/147650392-sling-bag-crossbody-backpack-for-pickleball-tennis-racketball-and-travel](https://www.desertcart.us/products/147650392-sling-bag-crossbody-backpack-for-pickleball-tennis-racketball-and-travel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-22*
