Typical features
Most sports backpacks are equipped with a chest strap and a (removable) hip belt. To relieve pressure on the shoulders, as much weight as possible should be transferred to the hips. This happens when the backpack straps are not set too tightly: if the sports backpack sits close to the body, most of the weight is carried by the shoulders. In addition to balanced weight distribution, extra straps help absorb movement. The chest strap also stabilises the backpack’s position and prevents it from slipping sideways. To ensure the carrying system works effectively, it should be adjustable—after all, the better the fit, the greater the comfort. For a comfortable carrying experience, padded and ventilated shoulder straps are essential. Some models come with straps that are adjustable not only in length but also in width, thanks to built-in rails. Certain sports backpacks also include load adjustment straps: when tightened, the backpack (and thus the weight) sits close to the body; when loosened, it allows more airflow. Tip: in challenging terrain or at a fast walking pace, your sports backpack should sit close to your body for better control and to minimise swaying.
Backpacks for indoor training
The gym around the corner is your second home? Then a comfortable backpack is a must! A reliable training companion typically offers 15 to 30 litres of space, providing room for your workout clothes, toiletries, towel and shower shoes. Useful features of these backpacks include a headphone port, back-supporting internal reinforcement and an RFID pocket. Depending on the model, wet compartments or dedicated shoe and laundry sections may also be included (these come as standard with football backpacks). Most backpacks for the gym have a contact back panel with ventilation channels.
Models for outdoor workouts
Due to the specific demands of each sport, outdoor backpacks come with a wide range of features. Ergonomic carrying systems, well-designed interior layouts and compression straps are among the most common. Reflective elements and numerous attachment loops or holders (for skateboards, helmets, poles, etc.) are also frequently included. A breathable mesh back is a typical feature of outdoor backpacks. Some outdoor models are specifically designed to suit the female anatomy—women generally have shorter backs and narrower shoulders. These sports backpacks are also suitable for men with shorter torsos.
