Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a sports backpack and a regular backpack?
A sports backpack has special features for sport & training: a separate wet compartment, back ventilation, water bottle fastenings and often a shoe compartment. Compared to an everyday backpack, it's optimised for functionality during sport.
What capacity does a sports backpack need?
For the gym, 20–25 litres is usually enough. For outdoor sport or day trips, we recommend 25–35 litres. If you also need to carry work clothes, opt for 30+ litres with separate compartments.
Sports backpack or sports bag?
A sports backpack offers greater carrying comfort – especially when cycling or walking. A sports bag is more spacious and easier to pack and unpack. For cycling to the gym: choose a sports backpack.
