About this paddle
Who it's for
This one is for anyone who owns a paddle they would rather not replace. The paddle rides in a trunk next to a bike lock. It goes into a gym bag with keys and a water bottle. It gets set down face first on concrete. None of that ends a paddle on the day it happens; it just takes a season off it, one scuff at a time.
How it plays
You zip it on when you are done and unzip it when you reach the court. That is the entire routine. A cover changes nothing about how a paddle plays; it changes what the paddle looks like a year from now. The edge guard stops meeting car trunks, the face stops collecting scratches, and nothing dramatic happens. That is the point.
The face
The cover is neoprene, the soft, springy material a wetsuit is made from, and it is the right choice for this job. It has the give to slide over an edge guard without a fight and the padding to absorb a knock, with none of the stiffness of a hard shell case. A zipper runs the curved edge.
Shape and reach
The cover measures 11.8 in by 8.7 in. Before you buy, do the one thing that really answers the question: lay a tape across your paddle at its widest point and down the face, then compare. We would rather hand you both numbers and let you check than promise it fits most paddles and be wrong about yours.
In the box
One cover. No paddle and no balls. It is a cover, and that is all it is. Take the 2-pack if there are two paddles in the house, since a cover only protects the paddle it is on.
Care and lifespan
Wash it by hand in cool water when it gets grubby and let it air dry. A machine dryer is the one thing that will finish off neoprene. Do not zip a wet paddle inside and leave it overnight either, because a damp cover and a damp grip together are how a bag starts to smell.
Questions about this paddle
Will my paddle fit?
The cover measures 11.8 in by 8.7 in. Measure your paddle across its widest point and down the face, then compare. That is a more reliable answer than any promise we could make about paddles in general.
Does a paddle come with it?
No. One cover, no paddle and no balls. Where a photo shows a paddle, it is there to show scale.
Why bother with a cover at all?
Because paddles rarely die on court. They die in a car trunk, in a bag with keys and a zipper, and face down on concrete. The edge guard chips, the face picks up scratches, and the paddle you took time to choose quietly gets worse. A cover is the smallest, simplest thing you can do about that.
What is it made of?
Neoprene, with a zipper closure.
Can I wash it?
By hand, in cool water, then let it air dry. Keep it out of a machine dryer, because heat is the one thing neoprene does not forgive.
Should I take one or two?
If two people in your household play, take the 2-pack. A cover only protects the paddle it is on, and paddles usually travel in pairs.
