Sports Bags Buying Advice

A good sports bag fits your kit, keeps shoes apart and lasts through daily use. This page is buying advice. We add specific product picks only after reading the maker's own page.

Buying guide

Size. Think about what you carry: shoes, a change of clothes, a racket or a bottle. Check the capacity on the listing.
Compartments. A separate shoe compartment and a wet-clothes pocket keep the rest of the bag clean.
Build. Look at the zips, the straps and the base material. These wear out first.

Common questions

Duffle bag or backpack?

A duffle suits more kit and gym use. A backpack is easier to carry for short distances.

How big should a sports bag be?

Big enough for your shoes and clothes, but not so big that it is hard to carry when half empty.
