Padel Bag vs Backpack

So I want to get a separate bag for padel since I've been playing pretty frequently (3-4 times per week) for the last 3 months now.

Tbh I know a backpack would be more practical for me - I only carry 1 racket and the backpack I use for the gym that's 21L fits that, a pair of shorts, a t-shirt and my padel shoes just fine.

However I think racket bags are really cool lol. I'm just wondering if it's overkill for me since I don't see myself carrying much more than what I mentioned above, maybe a sweatshirt in colder weather but there's enough roo left in my backpack for that too.

Also don't want to be the guy that has all the pro gear but gets beaten by a dude in flip flops and a cracked racket lol. I'm at an intermediate level at best so there's that.

Are padel bags a hassle to carry? The smalles one I could find was the NOX AT10, which is 42L, double the size of the backpack I currently use. Also are they a lot more uncomfortable than a backpack? Are there any benefits to them that I might miss if I get a padel backpack (which would also have a thermal and shoe compartment)?

Any input is appreciated!
