Enjoying the outdoors while playing tennis extends past the sport with this bag. HEAD has made this sustainable tennis bag using plastic from 36 recycled bottles. This has resulted in a strong, durable, and environmentally-friendly unit that uses what would typically end up in the ocean.
The Gravity R-PET tennis bag was created in a collaboration between the brand and German tennis player Alexander Zverev, their ambassador. For Zverev, respecting the environment is his highest priority.
This bag is the ideal companion for carrying your tennis gear. However, it can also be used when traveling or for other sports, such as gym or pilates. The design is attractive, taking inspiration from the tattoos that are so prominent in Polynesian culture.
Before we dive into what this bag has on offer, let’s consider a few of the specs.

General Background
As we mentioned, professional player Alexander Zvereb urges everyone to take better care of our planet. With that in mind, HEAD worked closely with him to design their first-ever recycled bottle tennis bag. It is more compact than the R-PET duffle, but it has dividers that can be adjusted to fit your needs.
Material
Thirty-six water bottles were recycled into R-PET material that feels very durable and sturdy. It is long-wearing and feels equally as good as any other high-quality tennis bag. However, thanks to the innovative design and materials, you can rest assured that you can take care of your health and the environment at the same time.
The base of the bag has a waterproof lining that is tear-resistant and robust. As a result, you do not have to worry about your clothes and gear getting wet if you place this bag on a wet surface, which is a great feature.
Plus, if you get this bag dirty, you do not need to stress. It can easily be washed with soap in warm water. Then simply leave it in the sun or on the washing line to dry. For minor dirt issues, you can wipe the bag down with a damp cloth.
Compartments
The main compartment is large and easy to use. As you open the zipper, you will find a blurb from HEAD sewn into the top side explaining why they created this bag and their collaboration with Alexander Zvereb to create this bag.
- HEAD PERFORMANCE: Born out of revolutionizing how we ski and play tennis, HEAD has constantly pushed athletic equipment into the modern era. With decades of experience in all racquet sports; HEAD offers nothing but top tier tennis equipment.
You can fit up to six tennis rackets in this section when using the dividers, but it can store nine rackets without the divisions, which is very convenient. Alternatively, you can keep fewer rackets in the bag and have plenty of space for the rest of your fear.
The separation dividers attach to the bag’s walls using Velcro straps that are strong and sturdy while also being clothes-friendly.
Additionally, there is a large internal zippered mesh accessory compartment where you can store your keys, phone, wallet, and other valuables. The external accessory pocket is perfect for tennis and sports accessories and items you need to reach quickly and easily.
Lastly, the shoe tunnel compartment is integrated into the end of the bag but is separated from your gear in the bag’s main section. This makes for easy storing of your shoes or sweaty clothes.
Straps
The bag comes with two padded straps that can be adjusted easily, allowing you to carry this bag as an in-hand duffle-style bag or as a backpack, making this a highly functional and efficient tennis bag that will not weigh you down.
There is also a grab handle on the one end, making it easy to pull from the trunk of your car or out of a locker.
