Cornhole Backpacks: Why All Cornhole Players Need One

Whether you are traveling in your hometown or going cross country to play cornhole, you need something to keep your cornhole bags organized. And let's keep it real, pro cornhole bags are not cheap so you need to protect your investment!

While we know most players have numerous sets of bags and some of you have crazy impressive collections, how many sets do you really need when traveling to a tournament? After doing some market research, we found on average, cornhole players bring 4 sets (1 set = 4 bags) when going to tournaments. 4 sets of bags weigh in at 16 pounds. While that may not seem like a lot when reading this, carrying around 4 sets of bags without a cornhole backpack gets awkward and heavy. And that doesn’t include all the other items you bring to a tournament like iPad, laptop, pens, measuring tape, snacks, water bottles, keys, etc. You need a bag to stand up against the weight while keeping your comfort in mind….and of course, has the ability to display all of your cornhole patches.

So, what features should you be looking for when shopping for a cornhole backpack? Start with looking for one specifically designed for cornhole players. These should include dividers to keep your cornhole bags organized making switching out bags quick and easy. Check to see if the bag has room for other items you will be bringing as well. Ideally, you will be able to transport everything in the same backpack. Make sure the straps are padded to ensure your comfort and elevate some of the stress from the weight of the bag when full. Lastly, does the backpack have a warranty? With carrying a good amount of weight you want to make sure the company stands behind what they are selling.
