External Dimensions

Length: 17 inches (432mm)

The Form measures 17 inches across — long enough to fit the longest legal pickleball paddle (the maximum USAPA paddle length is 17 inches) with room to spare. Both the Fjara Stillvann (16.5") and the Fjara Forste (16") fit comfortably with the zipper closing fully.

Width: 9 inches (229mm)

The 9-inch width accommodates the widest paddle face (8 inches for widebody paddles like the Forste) plus a half-inch of buffer space for easy insertion. The width allows two paddles stacked face-to-face, though this configuration is snug.

Depth: 2.5 inches (64mm)

The 2.5-inch depth is intentional. Deep enough to fit two paddles plus a thin layer of accessories (overgrips, finishing tape, a compact towel). Shallow enough to maintain the slim profile that distinguishes the Form from a full duffel bag.

Capacity

Designed for 1-2 paddles plus minor accessories

The main compartment fits:

• 1 paddle with full padding around it (recommended for protection)
• OR 2 paddles stacked face-to-face (more efficient packing)
• PLUS a thin pouch of overgrips, wristbands, and grip tape
• PLUS a single towel (folded thin) or a t-shirt (rolled)

The Form is not built to carry a water bottle, change of clothes, or significant gear. If you carry more than a paddle and small accessories, the Tur duffel is the appropriate Fjara product for your kit.

Front exterior pocket

A single zippered front pocket holds:

• Phone, wallet, keys (one of these or all three)
• 1-2 tubes of pickleballs (Fjara Spil)
• Small accessory pouch

The front pocket is designed for items you want quick access to without unzipping the main compartment. Most customers use it for their phone and keys during their walk to and from the court.

Materials & Construction

4mm neoprene main body

The Form is constructed from 4mm-thick neoprene — the same material used in premium laptop sleeves and high-end paddle covers from competitive brands. Neoprene provides:

• Shock absorption from drops and bumps
• Light water resistance for unexpected weather
• Soft surface that doesn't scratch paddle faces
• Flexible structure that accommodates slight paddle thickness variations

4mm thickness is the sweet spot for paddle protection — thinner neoprene (2-3mm) feels flimsy and doesn't absorb impact, while thicker neoprene (5-6mm) adds bulk without proportional protection benefit.

Soft brushed polyester lining

The interior is lined with soft brushed polyester that prevents scratching the paddle face during insertion or removal. The lining color matches the exterior colorway for visual coherence.

Reinforced zipper construction

The main compartment uses a two-way YKK-equivalent zipper running across the top edge. The two-way design lets you open from either end, which matters when you're trying to extract a paddle in a cramped space (car trunk, locker room bench, courtside).

The zipper closure features reinforced fabric tabs at each end that bear the stress of repeated zipping, preventing the seam failure that ends most cheap paddle covers within a season.

Handle & Strap

Webbed nylon top handle

The Form features a single top handle in webbed nylon — long enough to grip comfortably, short enough that the bag doesn't drag on the ground when carried. Handle drop length: approximately 4 inches.

The handle attaches via reinforced double-stitched seams rather than D-ring hardware, which holds up better to repeated heavy loading.

Removable shoulder strap

The Form ships with a detachable shoulder strap that attaches via brass-tone snap hooks on both ends. The strap is adjustable from approximately 28 to 45 inches in length, accommodating most adult heights for cross-body or single-shoulder carry.

The strap is unpadded — appropriate for the Form's weight (under 3 lbs even when fully loaded). For heavier loading, the Tur duffel features a padded shoulder strap.

Strap removability

The strap detaches completely for storage, packing in a larger bag, or when you prefer carrying by the top handle only. Most customers leave the strap attached for daily use and remove it only when storing the Form inside the Tur or other larger bags.

Colorways

The Form is available in three colorways:

Onyx (matte black)

The most popular Form colorway. Pairs with all Fjara paddles and most pickleball gear. The default choice for players who want a paddle carrier that doesn't draw attention.

Bone (warm white)

The premium aesthetic option. Pairs with Frost colorway paddles and Sand-toned Tur bags. Choose Bone if visual coherence with the rest of your light-toned kit matters.

Sage (dusty green)

The accent colorway. Pairs with neutral kits and adds a single point of color to an otherwise restrained gear setup. Choose Sage if you want your paddle carrier to be the visual highlight of your kit.

All three colorways use identical materials, identical construction, and identical capacity. The choice between them is aesthetic, not functional.

Care Instructions

Day-to-day cleaning

Wipe exterior with a damp cloth. For surface stains, dab gently with mild soap and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or solvent-based cleaners — these damage the neoprene's flexible structure.

Spot stains on Bone or Sage colorways

Lighter colors show stains more readily. Address stains within 24 hours when possible. Use a damp cloth with diluted dish soap, dab gently rather than rubbing, and air dry completely.

Storage

Store the Form empty when not in use, ideally hanging or laid flat. Long-term storage with a paddle inside compresses the neoprene structure and creates indentations that may be visible after extended periods.

Avoid storing in direct sunlight for extended periods — UV exposure gradually fades neoprene color, particularly on Bone and Sage variants.

Built For

The Form is the right paddle carrier for:

• Players who carry a paddle plus a few accessories — and not much more
• Drivers and rideshare commuters who don't want a full bag taking up trunk space
• Players who store gear in lockers or limited-space gym bags
• Players who pair multiple Fjara products and want visual coherence between paddle and carrier
• Anyone who's tried storing a paddle in a generic gym bag and watched it scratch against zippers and water bottles

Not Built For

The Form is designed for paddle-focused carry. If you need to bring water, towels, change of clothes, and tournament essentials, the Tur duffel is the appropriate product.

If you only need basic protection without a strap and don't carry the paddle to and from the court regularly, the Hud paddle cover is the smaller, simpler option at less than half the price.

Form vs Tur vs Hud

The Form sits between the Hud and the Tur in the Fjara carrying lineup. Here's how the three products compare:

Choose the Hud if:

• You want basic paddle protection inside a larger bag
• You don't need to carry the paddle independently

Choose the Form if:

• You commute to the court with paddle + minor accessories
• You want visual coherence and brand consistency without the full duffel

Choose the Tur if:

• You carry full kit (paddle, balls, water, towel, change of clothes)
• You travel for tournaments or use the bag for multiple purposes

Sizing Notes for Specific Use Cases

For carry-on travel

The Form fits inside most personal item allowances (typically 18" × 14" × 8") and easily inside any carry-on bag. Many players slip the Form inside their Tur or roller suitcase for tournament travel.

For locker storage

The Form fits inside any standard gym locker. The slim 2.5-inch depth means it can hang on a hook or lay flat on a locker shelf without occupying significant space.

For car commute

The Form fits in the door pocket of most cars (specifically the rear-door pockets on most sedans and SUVs). It also fits flat on the back seat without taking up passenger space.

For paired carry with a Tur

The Form fits inside the Tur main compartment, which lets you carry both products simultaneously. Some customers use this configuration: Form holds the paddle and grips, Tur holds clothes and water, all in one trip.

How the Form Compares (Industry Context)

Most pickleball paddle carriers fall into one of three categories:

Basic paddle covers ($15-25)

Single-paddle covers, no strap, often poly-blend materials. Examples: generic Amazon covers, basic brand-name covers. Best for protection inside a larger bag.

Paddle carriers ($40-70) ← The Form

Dedicated carriers with strap, holds 1-2 paddles plus minor accessories. Examples: Fjara Form, Selkirk Day Bag, JOOLA Paddle Cover. Best for daily court commute.

Tour duffels ($120-200)

Full-capacity bags for paddles plus travel essentials. Examples: Fjara Tur, CRBN Pro Team Duffel. Best for tournament weekends and travel.

The Form's $59 price point is intentional. It sits at the upper end of the carrier category, reflecting the premium 4mm neoprene construction and reinforced zipper hardware. Cheaper carriers cut corners on materials. The Form is built to outlast standard carriers by 2-3 seasons of regular use.
