Everyday and outdoor bags at discounted prices.
The brand Eastpak was born in 1952 in the Boston area under the name Eastern Canvas Products, making bags for the US military. Its first collection for the general public, released in 1976, won over campuses and made the Padded Pak'R a classic: padded back, twenty-four litres and a sturdy fabric. The Day Pak'R adds a padded laptop pocket, the Orbit takes on a more compact shape, and the Out Of Office targets professional commutes. Eastpak backs its bags with a thirty-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects.
Good deals on equipment also come in various forms:
All good deals on equipment are gathered on the equipment page.
For the pitch, capacity is key. The Gilbert Club bags, available as sport bags or backpacks, hold a full kit, protective gear and a towel. The sport bag from Tremblay CT offers ample space for tournament weekends. The wheeled bag Force XV, large and sturdy, carries all the gear in the parking lot during tournaments and bus trips, and the sport bag in the colours of Scotland appeals to supporters of the XV of Thistle. The shoe bag Stanno keeps the boots separate from the rest of the bag.
The coaching staff of a team has its own needs. The treatment bag Sporti Pro, with multiple compartments, keeps bandages, cold packs and care products readily accessible at the pitchside. The ball bag Force XV holds the balls for a session and can be carried over the shoulder. For running, the running backpack Sveltus, close to the body, carries water and a windbreaker without bouncing around. These discounted bags are particularly appealing to clubs renewing their coaches' equipment before the season starts.
Good bargains can also be found in the sales, clearance, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections. The year's key moments follow a steady pattern: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, winter sales, French Days in spring, followed by summer sales and back-to-school.
The Padded Pak'R, with its twenty-four litres and padded back, fits folders and a pencil case. For a younger child, the Orbit, being more compact, avoids a bag that extends beyond the lower back.
Material and manufacturing defects, such as a seam coming undone or a faulty zipper without abnormal use. Normal wear and tear, accidents, and misuse are not included.
A bag of forty to sixty litres accommodates kit, shoes, protective gear and shower items. For a day tournament or an overnight trip, a larger wheeled bag is preferable.
Boots bring back mud and grass and can pierce a bag's lining. A ventilated shoe bag isolates this mess, limits odours, and protects clean clothes.
Empty it, brush the inside, then clean with soapy lukewarm water before letting it dry open in the air. Some fabric models can go in the washing machine on a cold cycle without spinning.
