In modern society, not a single person can do without a bag, but each model must correspond to the situation. And it often happens that ordinary bags simply are not suitable for any informal situation, but in this case it is worth paying attention to the sports model.
Features and Benefits
Of course, sports bags have many features and benefits, daily proving that they are more a necessity than any accessory. First of all, the fact is that the sports bag has nothing to do with creating a holistic image, but is an exclusively functional detail.
A feature of sports bags is that they are made of durable, but still soft material, so an empty bag can be easily rolled up and put away for storage. Due to this feature, the product does not take up much space.
The features can be attributed to various additions to standard sports bags, in the form of hidden pockets, additional compartments, built-in carrying mechanisms and other functional ideas.
Among the advantages, it is impossible not to mention the lightness of the models, which is due to the lack of rigid walls. This is a definite plus, since sports models filled with things will already be quite heavy.
In addition, sports bags are suitable not only for sports equipment, but also for many other types of activities where the usual classic model cannot be used. Whether it’s moving, camp fees, a trip to the country house or a holiday home - this is the best option for storing and transporting personal items.
Types and Models
Sports models are very practical and convenient and, if they do not even find application in everyday life, will certainly fit for a weekend or for spending leisure time out of town. Let us consider in more detail the most common models and features of their internal space.
Women's sports bags are distinguished by a more sophisticated design, characteristic of products oriented to the fair sex, as well as the corresponding color scheme and stylish prints.
Kids, like adults, attend sports sections and mugs, so they need sports bags. A children's model for a girl can be decorated with stripes and prints in the form of butterflies, hearts, fairy fairies or simple curls.
Fitness
Sports bags for fitness have a lot of advantages and have many highly functional additions, without which they simply lose their practicality. In addition, such a bag should be very spacious so that sports equipment and a towel will calmly enter.
A very practical sports bag with a shoe compartment. As a rule, it is located in the lower part of the product, representing a kind of pocket with a zipper. If the compartment becomes dirty, the pocket can always be turned inside out and easily cleaned.
When choosing a sports bag for fitness, it is worth paying special attention to the models over the shoulder, since this position of the strap provides the most comfortable carrying bag. The load is distributed evenly without harming the spine and back muscles.
If you want to ease the load on your hands or just leave them free, you can choose a stylish sports backpack with wide straps that will help distribute the load across the back, protecting it from excessive fatigue.
Sport models for tourism
Belt bags, although very small in size, are still quite roomy and indispensable for travel. You can always keep all the necessary things and documents with you, putting them in this bag, and a special pocket will allow you to save money.
For hiking and picnics, a sports cooler bag will become an indispensable thing, allowing you to keep foods and drinks longer in freshness and coolness. The bag has dense walls with an internal finish of a special material, and a special, cooling element.
Supporters of a healthy lifestyle often seek to adhere to proper nutrition, but this is not always possible in the hectic workdays. In order not to eat any harmful products, nutritionists advise taking food with you, and for the convenience of its storage and carrying, you should purchase a special sports bag for containers with food.
Of course, each model has an internal pocket for the phone, but what if you only need to take it with you, but there are no pockets? For such cases, there is a special small handbag with extra pockets for money. Convenient and practical!
Among sports products there are those that are perfect for traveling for a short time. For example, the banana model, which is a cylindrical oblong model, is quite compact, but practical and roomy.
The transformer sports model does not have any remarkable external features, but it is very functional due to only one detail: if necessary, wide straps can be removed from a special pocket, turning the bag into a backpack.
In addition, for everyday use there are quite attractive semi-sports products. Models of such a plan can even be used for work if there is no need to follow the dress code, but there is a need to carry a large number of personal items.
the cloth
Undoubtedly, it is the material involved in the manufacture that is more reflected in the practicality of the product.It is imperative that exclusively strong and reliable fabrics are used for sewing sports models, in order to prevent quick wear.
The leather version will last quite a long time, especially if it is made from natural material, and not from a fake. Genuine leather is well cleaned, in case of pollution, It does not deform and does not stretch, so the product will retain its original appearance for a long time.
3Often for the manufacture of sports models used dense membrane fabric. It is very dense, therefore it does not tear, but these are not all the properties of this material. The fact is that under the influence of special impregnation the material becomes waterproof, and the contents of the bag will be protected even during the most severe rainfall.
The denim variety is not inferior in strength to the two models described above, but still has some drawbacks. The fact is that material like jeans gets dirty quite quickly, but in order to clean even the smallest stain, you will have to wash the entire bag.
Sports models are very rarely made from any thin material, as well as from faux leather or patent leather, since these fabrics fail quite quickly and do not withstand heavy loads.
Sport models hardly need jewelry, but a light, unobtrusive decor, nevertheless, does occur. As a decor, a dense mesh fabric is used, from which decorative inserts or external pockets designed for a water bottle are made.
Size and shape
The shape of the bag is directly reflected in its internal space and, since it concerns the sports model, it should be as spacious as possible, but at the same time as compact as possible. Let us consider in more detail which forms of sports bags are most relevant.
A large bag is good in terms of spaciousness and is most often used for travel. For sports training, such a model is hardly suitable, since it will be too voluminous, which will cause certain inconveniences. For fitness, a medium-sized bag is suitable.
Small sports bags are good for storing small, but most necessary and important things. By purchasing this model, you can no longer worry about the safety of the phone, money and documents.
As for the shape - the most unusual is a round bag. It is not particularly practical, since made of soft material, a round bag is deformed from an excess of things inside it. Such a model is only good if it is made in a semi-sports style and has hard walls.
The most relevant forms of bags are cylinders, rectangles and oblong semi-oval shapes. It is their deformation that is the least noticeable, so you can fill the product to the top without worrying that its appearance will suffer.
Color
Color variations of sports-type products are very diverse, they are not limited to a couple of dark shades, and therefore attract a lot of attention. Sometimes, a person’s mood and character is set precisely with the help of shades of his chosen accessories.
The pink model, in various shades, from delicate light pink to bright fuchsia, will be an excellent choice for both little girls and adult women. But with light tones, you should be careful, as they are quite easily soiled.
Shades of blue are truly bewitching, which is not surprising, because it is an incredibly deep and multifaceted shade. Light blue and sky tone will create a mood of lightness and weightlessness, and dark blue will look more restrained.
Green is also popular, but not everyone likes its bright colors. A bag of dark green and emerald colors will look very beautiful, while a shade of fresh grass, sometimes, can even cause slight irritation.
Of course, the black shade is incredibly popular and relevant at all times, because it looks great always and everywhere and incredibly successfully combines with things of other shades. Black sports bag, perhaps, is rightfully considered the most practical and wear-resistant.
The white sports model is not practical at all. It gets dirty very quickly and is sometimes quite difficult to wash off, so supporters of an active lifestyle and sports style try to bypass such a model. But semi-sports models suitable for everyday life look pretty good.
Brown shades are most often used in the manufacture of leather models, especially if there is decor in the form of embossing or the effect of reptile skin. Such models look very impressive and very expensive, even if in fact they have a very low cost.
In addition to plain products, multi-colored bags consisting of fabric inserts of different colors are quite widespread. Models of such a plan look much more interesting than single-color ones, and also fit much better into any image.
The choice of decor for sports bags is very limited; of all the possible relevance, only various prints and inscriptions are relevant. This can be an image on any sports theme, a brand logo or just camouflage colors, common among tourist models.
Brands
It would seem that the choice of sports bags should be simple, but this is not entirely true, since the abundance of modern sports brands offers many models of bags suitable for every day and for a special occasion. It is worth paying attention to the most popular of them.
The Reebok brand has existed on the world fashion market for many years and does not cease to amaze customers with newer and no less quality goods. Among the models, you can find both voluminous and small options, both in a fully sporty and close to the classical style.
The fairly popular Dakine brand presents a stunning collection of zippered bags. This model is convenient in that you can easily get full access to the contents of the bag. In addition, there are a lot of backpacks and banana bags in the collections.
Bags from the Decathlon brand are perhaps the most popular. It is this company that is world famous as a manufacturer of a huge number of high-quality cylindrical bags, transformers and backpacks on wheels.
Asics is the largest manufacturer of oversized bags. The bulk are large models, roomy, but somewhat clumsy and bulky. But still there are several sports options for fitness and in the form of backpacks.
In the collections of another sports brand Puma, you can find quite a few models made of genuine leather, but you should be aware that the cost of the product is corresponding. In addition, a print with the brand name and its logo, a graceful jumping animal, is applied to the surface of the bags as a decor.
Tommy Hilfiger is not a sports brand, but presents informal clothing and accessories suitable for everyday use. But in the collections, nevertheless, there are several options for banana models with the brand name in the form of a print.

Venum bags are preferred by professional athletes and boxers because of their appearance. The thing is that most models have a fairly aggressive design, the center of which is a large inscription with the name of the company.
How to choose?
As in any other business, in the choice of sports bags you can not let everything go by itself, in order to prevent the acquisition of an unnecessary, inappropriate and irrelevant model. But what is worth paying special attention to when acquiring a similar product?
- First of all, it is worth considering the size, which should correspond to the nature of the situation for which the product is purchased. Do not buy a huge model to visit the gym, but not too small. But for the transport of a large number of things - an impressive size will be just right.
- The color of the sports product does not have to match the color scheme of all other clothes. As already mentioned, a sports bag is a completely independent product, not belonging to the category of accessories, so you can choose its color based on personal preferences.
- The same applies to the materials from which the bag is made. Of course, many of them have an appropriate cost, and the choice is often associated with this, but you should not save on quality, it is better to purchase a product once that will last for many years.
- Well, of course, you should not disregard its contents when choosing such a product. If you need additional pockets and compartments for shoes, you should choose a product with the appropriate functions, and if you need the simplest model, pay attention to products with minimal additions.
How much is?
As for the cost of products in a sports style, everything is quite simple here - the price depends on the model, its quality and the materials from which it is made. The brand manufacturer plays an important role, since quite often we overpay only for a well-known label.
The cost of branded bags made of genuine leather varies within 30,000 rubles, but you can find more budget options and a much less well-known name.
Simple bags designed for the mass consumer are quite affordable and have a price tag in the range of 1,000–4,000 rubles.
