Size breakdown
External Dimensions
Length: 17 inches (432mm)
The Verne measures 17 inches across — long enough to fit the longest legal pickleball paddle. Both the Fjara Stillvann (16.5") and the Fjara Forste (16") fit comfortably with the zipper closing fully.
Width: 8.5 inches (216mm)
The 8.5-inch width accommodates standard widebody paddle faces (8 inches wide) with a half-inch of buffer space for easy insertion and removal.
Depth: 1 inch (25mm)
The slim 1-inch depth maintains a low-profile silhouette. The Verne adds minimal bulk when packed inside the Fjara Tur duffel or a generic gym bag.
Capacity
Single-paddle protection
The Verne holds one paddle. That's it. No accessory pockets, no compartments for grips or balls, no room for additional gear.
This is intentional. The Verne is built for paddle protection, not paddle carrying. If you need to transport a paddle plus accessories independently, the Fjara Form (with shoulder strap and front pocket) is the appropriate product. If you need full kit capacity, the Fjara Tur duffel is the appropriate product.
The Verne's job is simple: keep your paddle protected.
Materials & Construction
Neoprene main body
The Verne is constructed from neoprene — the same material used in premium laptop sleeves and high-end paddle covers. Neoprene provides:
- Shock absorption from incidental drops and bumps
- Light water resistance for unexpected weather
- Soft surface that doesn't scratch paddle faces
- Flexible structure that accommodates slight paddle thickness variations
Soft brushed polyester lining
The interior is lined with soft brushed polyester that prevents scratching the paddle face during insertion or removal. The lining color matches the exterior for visual coherence.
Reinforced zipper construction
The closure uses a single-direction zipper running across the top edge with reinforced fabric tabs at each end. The reinforcement bears the stress of repeated zipping, preventing the seam failure that ends most cheap paddle covers within a season.
Colorways
The Verne is available in one colorway:
Onyx (matte black)
A single restrained colorway. Pairs with all Fjara paddles and most pickleball gear. Verne in Onyx works inside any larger bag without competing visually with whatever else you're carrying.
Care Instructions
Day-to-day cleaning
Wipe exterior with a damp cloth. For surface stains, dab gently with mild soap and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or solvent-based cleaners — these damage the neoprene's flexible structure.
Storage
Store the Verne empty when not in use, ideally hanging or laid flat. Long-term storage with a paddle inside compresses the neoprene structure over time.
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure — UV gradually fades neoprene color.
Built For
The Verne is the right paddle cover for:
- Players who store paddles inside larger bags and want surface protection
- Players who keep paddles in lockers or at home between sessions
- Players who already own a duffel or backpack and just need paddle protection
- Anyone who's watched a paddle face get scratched against zippers, water bottles, or other gear
Not Built For
The Verne has no shoulder strap and no exterior pockets. If you need to carry your paddle independently to and from the court, the Fjara Form (with strap and front pocket) is the appropriate product.
If you carry full kit (paddle, balls, water, towel, change of clothes), the Fjara Tur duffel is the appropriate product.
Verne vs Form vs Tur
The Verne sits at the entry point of the Fjara carrying lineup. Here's how the three products compare:

Choose the Verne if:
- You want basic paddle protection inside a larger bag
- You don't need to carry the paddle independently
Choose the Form if:
- You commute to the court with paddle plus minor accessories
- You want visual coherence and brand consistency without the full duffel
Choose the Tur if:
- You carry full kit (paddle, balls, water, towel, change of clothes)
- You travel for tournaments or use the bag for multiple purposes
Sizing Notes
Inside the Fjara Form
The Verne fits inside the Fjara Form, allowing double-protection: paddle inside Verne, Verne inside Form. Some players use this configuration for travel.
Inside the Fjara Tur
The Verne fits flat inside the Tur main compartment alongside other gear. Useful for players who want paddle protection separated from sweaty clothes and water bottles inside the duffel.
Inside generic gym bags
The Verne fits inside any standard gym bag, backpack, or messenger bag. The slim profile means it doesn't add significant bulk to whatever bag you're already using.
Product details
Verne - Paddle Cover
Verne is Norwegian for protection - the layer that protects what's underneath. The Fjara Verne is the simplest expression of that idea: a slim neoprene sleeve that wraps around your paddle face for the moments between matches.
Drop it in your bag. Toss it in the back seat. Throw it next to the other gear in the locker. The Hud handles it. Water-resistant neoprene shrugs off rain, sweat, and the occasional spill. The contoured shape hugs the paddle without bulk. The interior is soft enough to protect a carbon face from edge nicks and bag scuffs.
Built for daily life, not display.
The Fjara Verne is constructed from the same diving-grade neoprene used in our Form carrier - durable enough for years of daily use, soft enough to protect a thermoformed carbon paddle face from dings and scratches.
A single zip closure runs along the top edge. No straps, no clips, no extra hardware. Just a skin for your paddle, in your bag, where it belongs.

Returns & Exchange
Returns
Return window: 30 days from delivery
If your purchase isn't right, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. No restocking fees. No questions about why.
Condition requirements
Returned items should arrive in the same condition they were sent - unused or only lightly tested. Paddles that have been used in competitive play, show signs of impact wear, or have been modified (custom grip, edge guard alterations) are not eligible for return.
Light test use is fine. We understand pickleball paddles need to be felt before they're committed to. A few hits in your driveway or local court won't disqualify a return.
How to return
Email us at info@fjarasports.com with your order number and a brief note about the return. We'll send you a prepaid return label within one business day. Drop the package at any USPS, UPS, or FedEx location - whichever is convenient.
Return shipping is free for U.S. customers. We cover the cost of getting the product back to us.
Refunds
Refund processing: Within 10 business days
Once we receive your return, we inspect the item and process the refund within 10 business days. Refunds go back to the original payment method - Visa to Visa, PayPal to PayPal, Klarna to Klarna.
Most refunds appear in your account within 3–7 business days after we process them, though some banks take longer to post pending transactions.
Partial refunds
If a returned item shows wear beyond light test use, we may issue a partial refund proportional to the condition. We'll always email you before issuing a partial refund — never as a surprise.
Exchanges
We don't process exchanges automatically. If you want a different paddle, colorway, or size, return the original for a full refund and place a new order separately. This is faster than a traditional exchange and gives you the chance to use any current promotions on the new order.
Order Tracking
Every order receives a tracking number by email the moment your package leaves the warehouse. Click the link in the email to follow your package across the country in real time.
If your tracking hasn't updated in more than 3 business days, email us. Carrier delays happen, but extended silence usually means something needs attention. We'll investigate and get you answers.
Lost or Damaged Packages
If your package arrives damaged
Take photos of the packaging and the product before unpacking further. Email us at info@fjarasports.com with the photos and your order number. We'll arrange a replacement immediately — no need to return the damaged item first.
If your package goes missing in transit
If tracking shows "delivered" but your package isn't at your door, check with neighbors, building managers, and household members first. Most "missing" packages turn up within 24 hours.
If 48 hours pass and the package hasn't appeared, email us. We'll file a carrier claim and either replace your order or issue a full refund. You won't be left in the middle of a carrier dispute.
Questions
Email is the best way to reach us, and the only way for now. Send us a note at info@fjarasports.com for any shipping, payment, or return questions. We read every email personally and aim to respond within 1–2 business days.

Surface protection, nothing more
The Verne keeps your paddle from getting scratched against zippers, water bottles, and other gear inside your bag. No strap, no pockets, no extras. Just the cover.
The starting point of the carrying lineup
Choose the Verne if you already own a bag and just need paddle protection. For daily court commutes, the Form adds a strap and pocket. For full kit, the Tur is the duffel.
Neoprene with brushed lining
Neoprene exterior absorbs incidental drops and bumps. Soft brushed polyester lining prevents scratching during insertion. The same material grade used in premium laptop sleeves.
The Fjara expirience
Product philosophy
Carbon faces with real spec. Bags built for a decade. Nine considered products, no replacements every six months.
FAQ
Do I need to break in my new paddle?
Not in the traditional sense. Thermoformed carbon paddles don't soften or change feel the way some older constructions did. What changes is you.
The first few sessions with a new paddle are about your hands learning the sweet spot, the swing weight, the response off the face. Most players feel locked in by session three or four. Hit drills, not games, for the first hour. Dink rallies are the fastest way to learn a paddle — you'll feel exactly where the face is most consistent.
The paddle you take home today is the paddle you'll have in a year. It's already broken in. You're the variable.
What is thermoformed construction?
A standard pickleball paddle is built by gluing the face, core, and edge together as separate pieces. A thermoformed paddle is built as a single sealed unit — the carbon face wraps around the polypropylene core under heat and pressure, then the edge is fused rather than glued.
The result is a stiffer, more responsive paddle with a larger sweet spot and a consistent feel from center to edge. You'll feel it most on off-center hits — where a glued paddle goes dead, a thermoformed one still has life.
It's the construction the top brands have moved to over the past two years. It's the only construction we build.
How much spin can the T700 carbon face generate?
A lot. T700 raw carbon is the gritty, textured surface you see on every spin-first paddle on tour right now. Tested on a standard spin meter, our Stillvann face produces 2,200–2,400 RPM on a clean topspin drive — well within tournament-paddle range and noticeably above molded fiberglass faces.
That said, spin is a player skill before it's a paddle spec. The face gives you the friction. The contact angle and follow-through do the rest. A good carbon face won't make a flat hitter spin the ball. It will reward the player who already knows how.
How do I clean and care for my paddle?
Wipe the face with a damp microfiber cloth after long sessions — sweat, sunscreen, and ball residue dull the carbon texture and reduce spin over time. For deeper cleaning, a paddle eraser or melamine sponge restores the gritty surface.
Don't use solvents, alcohol, or abrasive scrubbers. Don't leave the paddle in a hot car — heat softens the polypropylene core and can warp the face. Store it in a paddle cover or bag, not loose where zippers and edges can chip the bevel.
Re-grip when the wrap loses tack. Most players replace overgrips every three to six months depending on play frequency.
What does sustainability mean to Fjara?
Mostly, it means we don't replace the catalog every six months. The biggest environmental cost of pickleball gear isn't the materials — it's the cycle. New paddle every season, new bag every year, last year's gear in a landfill.
We design products to outlast that cycle. The Stillvann you buy this year is the same paddle we'll be selling in three years. Same spec, same shape, same name. When something needs to be improved, we improve it. We don't relaunch it.
Where it makes sense we use recycled materials — our bags are built from 600D recycled polyester, and our packaging is unbleached cardboard with no plastic inserts. But the real work is in the longevity. A paddle you keep is worth more than any spec sheet.
What does the Fjara warranty cover?
Twelve months from purchase, against manufacturing defects, delamination of the face, core failure, edge separation, or any structural issue not caused by impact damage. If your paddle fails under normal play within the first year, we replace it.
What's not covered: cracks from paddle clashes, edge chips from court contact, grip wear, or surface dulling from heavy use. These are normal wear-and-tear on any paddle and aren't unique to Fjara.
To file a claim, email us at info@fjarasports.com with your order number and a photo of the issue. We respond within one business day and ship replacements within three.
