Sport is becoming more relevant every day. It easily enters the life of modern people who monitor their health. Many women today are actively involved in sports: they go to fitness clubs, run in parks, and attend specialized sections. You will no longer be surprised at the news that I recently signed up for aeroyoga, taekwondo or boxing classes.
However, the first thing you encounter when you let sports into your life is the need to have practical things, for example, a roomy and high-quality bag. That's exactly what this article will be about today.
Features
Today, the market presents a huge variety of brands of women's bags. Many of them are large and spacious, but they are not sports in the full sense of the word. A true fitness accessory features:
- First of all, this is the presence of a hard bottom. It prevents the free movement of objects inside when moving, and allows to increase the service life, because the product will keep its shape longer.
- When choosing, it is also worth paying attention to the brand, even if you are skeptical about “eminent” brands. Manufacturers of sports goods specifically take into account the many nuances that form a bag that is ideal for fitness, so you should only buy it in specialized stores.
- In no case should a bag harm your health. Yes, yes, they are capable of it! For example, if you suffer from scoliosis, then you should not buy products that will put pressure on only one shoulder, as this will cause additional back pain. Better give preference to a backpack, so the load will be evenly distributed.
Models and Functionality
You can find many models in the store, let's look into them in more detail:
- Sports bag with one handle. A great option for those who are not going to carry heavy loads, for example, rollers or professional equipment. T-shirt, sneakers - and go!
- Two pens. The classic version, which is suitable not only for sports, but also for travel. If for you the most important factor when buying a bag is roominess, then you should pay attention to this type. An additional “bonus” will be a handle for carrying a bag over your shoulder. Typically, these models have several inside compartments and outside pockets. This is very convenient, because in them you can safely put your phone or keys in the internal compartment and be calm for their safety, and put a bottle of water in the outer pocket that can be easily reached.
- Backpack. One of the most popular sports bag options. The most practical will be a sports-type backpack, you should not buy leather backpacks for fitness, as they are more susceptible to wear. In addition, you should pay attention to the straps. It’s best to choose wide straps so it will be easier to wear a satchel.
Narrow straps will dig into the shoulders under the weight of the backpack.
- Small waist bag. Great for sporting exercise, not just for carrying accessories. This brand is usually equipped with a small pocket for keys or a phone.
- Trapezoid. The form expanding downward has won the love of many athletes. It looks miniature, but in fact it is quite roomy due to the additional space at the bottom.
- Barrel. This style is not very functional, but it looks original. Many brands, such as Converse and Tommy Hilfiger, produce just such models.
Sizes and shapes
As with the purchase of a regular bag, we are faced with the question of what size a sports model should be? It all depends on your personal preferences and purpose of the bag. To understand which size is right for you, you need to lay out in front of you all the things you need for training: clothes, shoes and, of course, cosmetics.
Estimate how many things will take up space and, based on this, pick up your ideal bag.
Compact options are suitable for those who are used to doing a minimum of things. Such a style is easy to take with you, it will not take up much space and will not be too heavy.
Large bags are more suitable for those people who play sports constantly or even professionally. They will fit all the necessary equipment and equipment.
But do not forget about their impressive weight!
The type of fitness bag called the “bag” is gaining popularity today. It does not have a specific shape and hard bottom. Its obvious advantage is lightness and compactness. In my opinion, this is just the perfect option for yoga, in which you do not need anything extra.
Half-sports bags are not only suitable for visiting a fitness club, but will also be a great option to complement everyday wear. Many famous brands are engaged in the production of such styles, while focusing on the appearance of the product, and not on its functionality.
Materials
Most sports bags are made from durable synthetic materials, among which the most popular is polyester. Such models have several advantages. In which case, they are easy to clean, in addition, they do not lose their attractive appearance even after several years of active use.
There are also leather brands. They can easily complement a sports or casual look and talk about the good taste of their mistress, but do not forget about the price. Such a bag will be quite expensive, and it won’t last for a long time, as it easily crackes.
The choice between beauty and practicality is yours.
An important nuance when choosing a bag material is hypoallergenic.The quality of the fabric should be at the level, it should not contain harmful or toxic substances that could harm your health.
If training takes place on the street, you should pay attention to the moisture resistance of the fabric. Nobody wants all the contents to get wet through.
Color schemes
| White |
It is known that white color gives a special freshness to the image. At the same time, it goes with any other colors. But from a purely practical side, such a model loses, since any dirt will be very noticeable on it. |
| Red |
This option is ideal for bright and bold girls. An accessory of red color will undoubtedly help to attract the attention of others to you. A bag can be either the only bright spot in your image (which looks pretty impressive), or resonate with other parts of the bow, such as sneakers or even laces. Experiment! |
| The black |
Perhaps this is the most popular model among practical athletes. Black color perfectly hides any dirt or defects, in addition, it goes well with other shades. |
| With print | Such an accessory will easily give the image an additional zest. Today, the most popular print is camouflage, due to its practicality. |
Selection tips
For your own convenience, it is worth paying special attention to the presence of additional compartments: they will easily fit all the necessary little things, and you do not have to look for them throughout the bag.
Such models are the most handy.
When choosing a bag, find out if cheap dyes are present in your favorite accessory. With prolonged use, they can stain clothes, thus spoiling them. Believe me, you should not save on this, otherwise you will have to buy not only a new bag, but also a sports uniform.
Be careful when looking at the straps; their length should be easily adjustable depending on your height and preferences. The anti-slip element on the belt will provide a reliable hold and will prevent the bag from slipping off the shoulder if you wear a sports jacket.
A big plus will be the presence of straps at the bottom. They will allow you to fix items at the bottom, and the clothes just do not remember.
To summarize, we note that you need to choose a bag carefully, considering a lot of criteria, and not just jabbing your finger in the first nice option. Capacity, size, material - this is not a complete list of what you should pay attention to. We hope that our article will help you make this choice.
