Sports backpack or shoulder bag?
When it comes to choosing your sports bag, you have two main options.
On the one hand, the shoulder sports bag, and on the other hand, the backpack.
How to choose between the two?
Here are the advantages and disadvantages of each, as well as a reminder of the criteria to take into account when choosing your sports bag for women.
The shoulder bag
The shoulder bag is a great classic in terms of women's sports bags.
It offers a more or less significant storage capacity depending on its dimensions, but it easily accommodates a pair of sports shoes, a water bottle and some belongings.
The shoulder bag is preferred if your sportswear is bulky and/or heavy.
One thinks for example of a judo or American football outfit.
Beyond the storage capacity, the shoulder bag allows the bag to be carried in different ways, in order to avoid back pain or even injury.
So you can carry it by hand, on the shoulder or across the body.
However, a sling bag can be bulky and inconvenient to carry, especially if you take public transport.
The backpack
The sports backpack is more compact than the shoulder bag.
Nevertheless, this does not prevent it from being able to accommodate a large number of your sports belongings.
In addition, the weight is better distributed since it rests on both of your shoulders.
If it has padded shoulder straps, it is even more comfortable.
However, it does not allow the transport of imposing sports outfits.
The criteria for choosing your sports bag
Beyond the choice between a backpack or shoulder bag, several criteria must be taken into account when choosing your sports bag:
the size ;
resistance ;
matter.
For example, polyester is particularly strong;
the price.
