Sports bags for fitness, sport and travel
A good sports bag is an indispensable companion — whether at the gym, for club sports or as a compact weekend bag for a short trip. At markenkoffer.de, you’ll find sports bags from top brands such as adidas, Deuter, Dakine, Travelite and The North Face in various sizes and designs. Spacious, lightweight and featuring practical details such as a shoe compartment, wet compartment and padded shoulder strap — the right bag for every occasion.
Sports bags by use
Sports bags for the gym
Compact sports bags with a volume of 30 to 40 litres are ideal for regular visits to the gym. A separate shoe compartment keeps trainers separate from clean clothes, whilst a water-repellent wet compartment offers space for damp towels or swimming gear. Models from adidas and Dakine stand out in this category with well-thought-out compartment layouts and durable materials. Their compact dimensions fit easily into lockers and changing room cupboards.
Sports bags for club sports
Anyone who plays football, handball or tennis for a club needs a more spacious sports bag with a capacity of 50 to 70 litres. These bags comfortably accommodate a kit, equipment, water bottle and personal items. Sturdy bases and reinforced seams ensure the bag lasts a long time, even with regular use. For team sports players, sports bags with a wide opening are particularly practical, as bulky equipment can be packed in and out more easily.
Sports bags as weekenders
Many sports bags are ideal as weekend bags for short trips over the weekend. The combination of a spacious main compartment, practical side pockets and a comfortable carrying strap makes them a flexible alternative to a suitcase. If you need more space, you’ll also find travel bags with wheels at markenkoffer.de, which make transport easier. For longer trips, we recommend travel bags with a larger packing capacity.
Sports bags for children
For school sports and sports clubs, markenkoffer.de offers a selection of sturdy school sports bags in colourful designs. The children’s sports bags are lightweight, feature an adjustable shoulder strap and offer enough space for sportswear, trainers and a water bottle. Brands such as Vaude and Deuter use non-toxic materials and ensure child-friendly handling in their children’s models.
Sports bag or sports rucksack?
The choice between a sports bag and a sports rucksack depends on how you intend to use it. A sports bag offers more storage space and easier access — ideal for the gym and club sports. A sports rucksack distributes the weight evenly across both shoulders and is more comfortable when cycling or walking. For the best of both worlds, there are 2-in-1 models that can be carried as a bag or converted into a rucksack.
Finding the right size
- S (30–40 litres): Compact for the gym and yoga — fits sportswear, shoes and a towel
- M (40–60 litres): The all-rounder for club sports and weekend trips — enough space for kit and personal items
- L (60–90 litres): Spacious for team sports and short trips lasting several days — can also be used as an alternative to a suitcase

Frequently asked questions about sports bags
Which sports bag brands are recommended?
Popular sports bag brands at markenkoffer.de include adidas (a classic for club sports), Deuter (ergonomic, made in Germany), Dakine (casual and functional), The North Face (robust and water-repellent) and Travelite (best value for money).
What size should a sports bag be?
For the gym, 30 to 40 litres (approx. 50 cm) is sufficient. For club sports with equipment, 50 to 70 litres (approx. 60 to 70 cm) is recommended. Sports bags with a shoe compartment and a separate wet compartment keep clean and dirty items separate.
Sports bag or sports rucksack – which is better?
A sports bag offers more storage space and easier access — ideal for the gym and club sports. A sports rucksack distributes the weight across both shoulders and is more comfortable when cycling or walking. For the best of both worlds, there are 2-in-1 models with a rucksack function.
Are there sports bags with a shoe compartment?
Yes, many sports bags have a separate shoe compartment – either as a side pocket or a ventilated bottom compartment. This keeps shoes and sportswear separate. Particularly practical in models from adidas, Dakine and Travelite.
Are sports bags suitable as hand luggage?
Compact sports bags in size S (approx. 50 cm) can be taken as hand luggage, provided they do not exceed the dimensions set by the respective airline. However, for optimal travel hand luggage, we recommend special travel bags or cabin trolleys.
How do I care for my sports bag?
Most sports bags made of polyester or nylon can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Leave the bag open to dry after exercise to prevent odours. Some models are machine-washable — please follow the manufacturer’s care instructions.
