Sports bags for matches and travel

Polochon, bag with compartments or bag double: which format

The bag polochon, cylindrical and open along its entire length, is the traditional format for sports bags: you can lay the outfit flat and see everything at a glance. The rectangular bag with compartments has multiple side pockets, including a ventilated one for the studs, and retains its shape when set down. The double bag Tremblay takes this further with two distinct volumes, one for clean gear and the other for dirty laundry on the way back. A forward that carries helmet, shoulder pads, and two pairs of shoes will prefer a larger volume, while a back often settles for a medium-sized model.

The Gilbert Club range, from player to team

Gilbert, which was already sewing balls for the Rugby school in 1823, today offers its Club range for every use in the locker room. The Holdall is the player's polochon, with a separate shoe compartment at one end; the Player Holdall follows this principle for one player’s outfit. The bag Team, larger, carries jerseys or the collective equipment of a team from one trip to another. The Flight and Performance models complete the line. All share a sturdy fabric and neutral colours that match most club outfits.

Wheeled bags and team bags for travel

For tournaments and coach travel, the bag on wheels Erima Travel Line avoids carrying all the weight on your shoulder: it can be pulled in the car park and through the stadium corridors. The bag Hummel Core is available in a classic version and a trolley, to harmonise the luggage of the same group. The Erima Six Wings fits into a complete teamwear range, allowing the club to match bags and tracksuits. The Under Armour Undeniable, in size M, suits a player wanting a compact and sturdy format, with a waterproof base. The sports bag Sporti Pro finally joins the coaching staff's luggage.

Frequently asked questions

What size of sports bag for an adult?

A volume of fifty to seventy litres will accommodate clothing, shoes, protective gear, and a towel. Beyond that, the bag becomes heavy and cumbersome in a locker room; below that, you quickly give up on taking a change of clothes.

What sports bag for a child?

A model of thirty to forty litres, lightweight, with an adjustable shoulder strap and a pocket for studs. The child must be able to open and close it alone in the locker room, which is why a large opening and sturdy closures are important.

Are there sports bags in a club's colours?

Yes, major clubs like Stade Toulousain regularly produce bags in their colours. For an amateur team, ordering the same model for all players creates the same effect and can then be personalised with each player's name.

Can you customise a sports bag?

A print of the name or initials, a stitched badge, or a tag is enough to recognise one’s bag among those of the team. It’s best to use smooth fabric panels, where markings adhere better and withstand rubbing.

How to prevent smells in a sports bag?

Remove wet items as soon as you return and leave the bag open overnight. Between washes, a sachet of bicarbonate or activated charcoal slipped into the shoe compartment absorbs moisture and smells.
