Even if it doesn’t necessarily seem obvious, your sports bag has a real impact on your practice. If you choose it correctly, it will quickly become a real companion. There are a large number of models of men’s bags and if you make a choice that is unsuitable for your needs, you will enjoy using it much less. By choosing the men’s sports bag that suits you best, you will enjoy your practice even more. Remember that your bag must adapt to your sporting activity and not the other way around.
Here are the 4 criteria to take into account when choosing your bag for the gym:
The size of the gym bag matters a lot. It is obvious that if you have a lot of changes of clothes or sports accessories to carry, you will need to choose a large model. Depending on what you plan to put in it, you will prefer a model with a large central pocket or a men’s sports bag with compartments.
The first will be better suited to bulky sports clothing, like a judo kimono for example. On the other hand, if you have a lot of equipment to carry but it is made up of several elements, it may be interesting for the sports bag to have zipped compartments. You can then store different accessories separately so that they do not mix and move in the bag.
If you only need a bag for going to the gym, a smaller model will work just fine. No need to load up unnecessarily. It just needs to have a shoe compartment and a pocket big enough to fit your change of clothes.
Whatever the case, your men’s sports bag must be adapted to your body shape. If you are small, there is no need to carry a bag that is too big. On the contrary, you risk taking bad positions with an overloaded bag and even injuring yourself. If you are quite tall, your clothes and accessories will naturally take up more space and will require a large model.
Depending on the sport you practice, you will not choose the same model of bag. The needs are totally different if you are looking for a men’s bag to go to the gym, football training, martial arts or tennis. If you use cleats, for example, you will need a large capacity shoe compartment.
If you have a lot of accessories to store, multiple compartments will be more practical than a large pocket where all your things will be in bulk. A gym sports bag will have a compartment for shoes, a main pocket for clothes and possibly several other pockets. If you play tennis, squash or badminton, you can opt for a large men’s sports bag to store your rackets or a bag with exterior pockets or straps to attach them to one side.
If you practice outdoors and your sports bag risks being exposed to bad weather, choose the robust and waterproof side. This is the best guarantee you can have of keeping clean and dry clothes to change into after your session.
Finally, if you practice several different disciplines, do not hesitate to equip yourself with several sports bags, each adapted to a particular need. It’s the best way to always have with you all the accessories you need to practice the sport of the day, without risking forgetting anything or mixing up your clothes or equipment between two sessions.
How you are going to carry your men’s sports bag is particularly important.
If you need to carry equipment of an average size and weight, you can opt for the classic fitness shoulder bag. It is easy to handle with its handles, not too bulky and when you have to carry it over a greater distance, the shoulder strap allows you to better distribute its weight. This will make you less tired than if you held it by hand.
To transport more bulky and heavy equipment, the ideal is undoubtedly the men’s sports bag on wheels. It is a good compromise between maneuverability, practicality and transport capacity. This means you can take larger or more bulky outfits and accessories without risking injury from lifting heavy loads. Its handle and wheels allow you to take it anywhere without tiring. On the other hand, it will be less practical to go up or down stairs than with another type of sports bag.
If you’re looking for an intermediate solution between rather bulky sports bags with shoulder straps or wheels, a sports backpack may be the solution. The backpacks have plenty of storage pockets and dedicated compartments for shoes or a water bottle. Some even have a computer compartment like the Karkoa models. Backpacks are very practical because they leave your hands free and the weight of their contents is well distributed; provided of course that you do not overload it. Prefer a wheeled bag if you have to transport your weights. A backpack will allow you to carry your sports accessories wherever you go, whether you are on foot, on public transport, by bike or on a scooter.
You may have a clear preference for a brand, regardless of the features you are looking for. Branded men’s sports bags are also a way to assert your identity and promote one or more models that you like.
There are many models at all prices among the Puma, Adidas and Newhey sports bag ranges for example. You will probably pay a little more for your branded men’s bag, but this is a personal choice, which is not necessarily linked to a particular need.
If you absolutely want to have a bag from a particular brand, use the criteria described above to correctly choose your bag among the models in the range that interests you.
