A gym backpack carries your gear to workouts, the pool or the trail, and our sports styles cover the gym, racket sports, running, biking and hiking. They range from compact hydration packs to an expandable bag of up to 80 liters, and the seven criteria below help you choose.
What our 23 sports backpacks offer
For a sports backpack for basketball or the gym, one large 36 to 55 liter style, our swimming backpack, holds clothes, a towel or even a basketball, and has a wet and dry separation, and a waterproof divider is listed as a color option. Our expandable travel backpack of 45, 60 or 80 liters has a separate shoe compartment, a USB port and a 270° opening, and another style, our tennis racket backpack, holds tennis, padel or badminton rackets.
For a gym backpack for men that also goes to the office, our men’s backpack with insulated compartment holds a 15.6 inch laptop and has an insulated lunch compartment. Four styles in all have a laptop pocket or compartment, up to 16 inches. Most are described as waterproof or water-repellent, eight have room for a water bladder, not always included, five have side pockets for a water bottle and five have reflective details. Seven weigh under 400 g (14 oz), the lightest, our 10L hiking backpack, at just 150 g (5.3 oz), and our ultralight trail running and cycling backpack weighs 300 g (10.6 oz). Five have a chest strap, one a padded hip belt (our large hiking backpack) and one a built-in rain cover (our 55L trekking backpack). For water sports, our 20 liter dry bag cooler backpack keeps drinks cool for up to 10 hours.
How to choose the right sports backpack
Whether for hiking, trail running, biking, fitness or other outdoor sports, a well-chosen sports backpack makes carrying easier, keeps you better organized and adds comfort during your workout. Here are the 7 key criteria for picking a model that fits your needs perfectly.
1. Choose a backpack that fits your sport
Every sport has its own demands. For hiking or trekking, go with a hiking backpack that has a breathable back, a hip belt, adjustable straps and a capacity of 30 to 50 liters. For running or trail running, pick a compact (5 to 15L), lightweight model with a snug fit. Cyclists will like a streamlined pack with a hydration bladder and waterproof fabric. At the gym, a bag with separate compartments (shoes, dry and damp clothes) is a real plus.
2. The right volume for how you use it
The capacity of a sports backpack, usually given in liters, sets how much gear it can hold:
- Under 15L: for quick sessions, trail runs or biking around town.
- 15 to 30L: right for fitness sessions, team sports or day trips.
- 30 to 50L: ideal for longer hikes or activities that need more equipment.
- Over 50L: for multi-day treks or sports expeditions.
3. Carrying comfort and ergonomics
A good sports bag has to be comfortable, even when it is fully loaded. Look for padded shoulder straps, a chest strap, a hip belt and a mesh or ventilated foam back. Some models are designed specifically for a woman’s or a man’s build, which makes them even more comfortable to carry.
4. Interior organization and pockets
A practical sports backpack should keep your things easy to reach. Choose models with several compartments, an inside zippered pocket, a waterproof pocket for damp clothes, or a spot for a water bottle or a hydration bladder. Side pockets and front pockets are ideal for items you want within reach.
5. Tough materials and protection from the elements
Outdoor sports call for a bag that holds up in bad weather. Go for waterproof or water-repellent fabric, strong zippers and, if possible, a built-in rain cover. Polyester, nylon and reinforced technical fabrics are safe bets.
6. Design and style of the bag
A sports backpack can combine performance and good looks. With clean shapes, bold colors and a discreet logo, there are models for every taste. Fans of a sportswear or urban look will also find versatile bags to wear every day.
7. Durability, what makes a sports bag last
A sports bag wears out fast if it is poorly made. Choose reinforced seams, sturdy materials and a careful finish, because a well-designed bag saves you from replacing it every season.
Which sports backpack for your sport?
The right athletic backpack is the one that fits your sport, your build and your style, light for trail running, divided into compartments for the gym, stable and ventilated for biking, larger for hiking. Chosen well, it will go with you on all your sports outings.
