Which travel bag are you looking for?
Sports Bags for Fitness, Sport and Travel
A good sports bag is an indispensable companion — whether at the gym, for club sport or as a compact weekender for short trips. 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 styles. Spacious, lightweight and with practical features such as a shoe compartment, wet compartment and padded carrying strap — the right bag for every purpose.
Sports Bags by Purpose
Sports Bags for the Gym
For regular gym visits, compact sports bags with a volume of 30 to 40 litres are ideal. A separate shoe compartment keeps trainers apart from clean clothing, while a water-resistant wet compartment provides space for damp towels or swimming gear. Models from adidas and Dakine stand out in this category with well-thought-out compartment layouts and hard-wearing materials. The compact dimensions fit easily into a locker or changing room cupboard.
Sports Bags for Club Sport
If you play football, handball or tennis for a club, you'll need a roomier sports bag with a volume of 50 to 70 litres. These bags comfortably fit kit, equipment, a water bottle and personal items. Sturdy bases and reinforced seams ensure the bag lasts even with regular use. For team sport players, sports bags with a wide opening are especially practical, as bulky equipment can be packed and unpacked more easily.
Sports Bags as Weekenders
Many sports bags work brilliantly as a weekender for a short weekend trip. 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 volume, markenkoffer.de also offers travel bags with wheels, which make transport easier. For longer trips, we recommend travel bags with a larger packing volume.
Sports Bags for Children
For school sport 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 rely on pollutant-free materials and child-friendly handling for their children's models.
Sports Bag or Sports Backpack?
The choice between a sports bag and a sports backpack depends on the intended use. A sports bag offers more storage space and wider access — ideal for the gym and club sport. A sports backpack 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 backpack.
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 sport and weekend trips — enough space for equipment and personal items
- L (60–90 litres): Spacious for team sport and multi-day short trips — also usable as an alternative to a suitcase

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 apart. Especially 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 don't exceed the dimensions set by the respective airline. However, for optimal travel hand luggage, dedicated travel bags or cabin trolleys are recommended.
How do I care for my sports bag?
Most sports bags made of polyester or nylon can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Leave the bag open to dry after sport to prevent odours from forming. Some models are machine washable — check the manufacturer's care instructions.
