The short answer
Buy the Team Backpack at $99.95 if you carry one racquet and want a shoe compartment. Buy the Super Tour 6 Racquets at $179.95 if you are a club player with a spare racquet and you want thermal lining. Buy the Super Tour 15 or the Defyer 15 if you coach or travel to tournaments. Buy the Advantage only if price is the whole decision; it is a good simple bag, but for $20 to $30 more the Team gives you a lot more pockets.
Price $179.95. Two Thermoguard compartments, shoe compartment, backpack straps. Colours and availability are on the product page.
See the Wilson Super Tour 6 Racquets on our product pageHow to choose in thirty seconds
- You own one racquet and play once or twice a week: a backpack or a 3 racquet bag. Light, cheap, and it still fits a can of balls and a towel.
- You play club tennis and carry a spare: a 6 racquet bag. Two compartments, so the spare racquet and your kit have their own space.
- You play tournaments, coach, or hit most days: a 9 or 15 racquet bag with thermal lining and a shoe compartment.
- Your racquet lives in the car: pay for thermal lining. A racquet left in a hot boot loses tension faster than it does on court.
- You go from work or school to the court: a backpack with a laptop sleeve, which means Super Tour, Ultra v5 Tour or Defyer.

Advantage: the simple one
The Advantage is Wilson's entry bag and the one we sell most of. The 3 racquet at $68.95 has one main compartment that takes up to three racquets, a front zipped pocket for keys and a wallet, a carry handle and a padded shoulder strap. The 6 racquet at $89.95 adds a second front compartment. The Advantage Backpack at $68.95 has a zipped racquet pocket for two racquets, a main compartment for clothes and two side pockets.
There is no thermal lining and no shoe compartment anywhere in the line. If you want a bag in a colour other than black, the Advantage comes in white and pink in the 3 racquet and the 6 racquet, which is the pink Wilson bag people search for.

It has a lockable partial racquet compartment for one or two racquets, a dedicated ventilated shoe compartment, two side pockets for bottles or ball cans and a front zip pocket. It is the cheapest Wilson bag with a shoe compartment and it comes in navy and oats. Nothing in the Team line has thermal lining.

Ultra v5 Tour: thermal lining at a club price
The Ultra v5 Tour bags match the blue of the Ultra v5 racquets and they are the cheapest way into Thermoguard lining. The 6 racquet at $149.95 has two zipped compartments with thermal protection, a shoe compartment, two side pockets, backpack straps and a top loop for hanging on the fence. The 3 racquet at $99.95 has one thermal compartment and a shoulder strap. The backpack at $125.95 holds two racquets in a padded compartment and has a padded laptop sleeve, which makes it a good commuter bag.

Super Tour: the one we recommend most
Super Tour is Wilson's performance line and the bags the touring players carry. Every size has Thermoguard lining, locking zips and a water-resistant finish. The Super Tour Red Backpack at $148.95 was redesigned to work as carry-on luggage: a travel strap, foam and mesh in the back panel, a padded two racquet compartment, a padded laptop sleeve, a shoe compartment and a Thermoguard side compartment.
The 6 racquet at $179.95 is the club bag done properly: two full racquet compartments, three outside pockets, backpack straps and a hand strap. The 9 racquet at $198.95 adds a second big compartment. The 15 racquet at $194.95 has two Thermoguard compartments, a shoe pocket and room for everything a coach or a travelling player owns; it is the most reviewed bag on our site at 4.6 (73). The small duffel at $129.95 and the coaches duffel at $179.95 are for people who carry more shoes and kit than racquets.

The same build comes in the colours of Wilson's racquet lines. The Clash v3 Super Tour is black with the Clash triangle pattern: backpack at $145.95, 3 racquet at $156.95 and 6 racquet at $179.95. The Pro Staff Super Tour is gold: 9 racquet at $199.95 and backpack at $179.95. The Blade Super Tour is emerald green: 9 racquet at $199.95 and backpack at $146.95. The Shift Super Tour backpack is arctic ice at $135.95. Check each product page for the pockets, because the backpacks differ: the Clash and Blade backpacks have a shoe compartment, the Pro Staff and Shift backpacks do not.
Defyer: the new 2026 line
The Defyer bags arrived with the Defyer racquet in 2026 and they are built to be noticed. The Defyer 15 Racquets at $299.95 has three main compartments for up to 15 racquets, a ventilated shoe compartment and quick-grab outside pockets. The Defyer 9 Racquets at $249.95 has two main compartments and a valuables pocket. The Defyer Backpack at $178.95 holds two racquets and has a padded laptop sleeve, and the Defyer Duffel at $178.95 has a partly covered racquet compartment for two racquets and a large main space for shoes and clothes. They are new, so there are no customer reviews on our site yet.
