Shout out for PPG! I met John on the courts in Baja. He showed me his line of pickleball gear and I was impressed. The gear is well made in the USA, with quality materials. As a long time sailboat racer and “gear guy”, I love the use of sailcloth. It is tough and durable. And as someone who cares for the earth, I’m glad the surplus sailcloth is being used. Plus, it just looks cool.
The paddle cover is padded, tough, and fits well; I love mine. I was really impressed with the men’s backpack. Really well made and roomy, with plenty of pockets for balls, phones, and water. I ordered one right away and looking forward to receiving it.
I think well made gear produced in the USA that is also well priced, is hard to find. Yet here it is. I highly recommend!
