Which sports backpack for the gym, the trail or the match?

This range has 442 backpacks from brands such as adidas, Puma, Nike, JanSport and Cubs. For sport, start with what you carry and where you go.

• Gym and training: the adidas 4ATHLTS Camper is a training backpack in light ripstop with a front zip pocket and side slip-in pockets. The adidas Power Backpack has a padded laptop sleeve and a coated base built for bumps, scrapes and damp floors.
• Small gym bags: the Puma Phase Small 13L and the Challenger 11L are made for gym and travel essentials, with several compartments and recycled construction.
• Trails and day hikes: the adidas Terrex Multi Climacool 20L has Climacool moisture-wicking technology, and the Terrex Multi Essentials 20L adds an air mesh back panel. The HI-TEC Maro 30L Day Pack has reflective details.
• Football fans: club backpacks for Real Madrid, Juventus and Liverpool FC carry the crest for training days and match days.

Litres: how big is big enough?

Some names include the capacity in litres, which is the easiest way to compare. Mini packs such as the Air Jordan Mini (10L) and the Nike Brasilia JDI Mini (11L) hold the small things: the Air Jordan Mini takes a wallet, keys and a phone. In the middle, the adidas Adicolor (21 L) is made for commuting, the gym and weekend trips. For a full day, the HI-TEC Maro (30L) holds a full day's worth of gear, and the Nike Heritage (25L) adds a sleeve for a 15 inch laptop.

School and work, with room for a laptop

If the same bag goes to class or the office, check for a laptop sleeve. The JanSport Right Pack, Main Campus, Union Pack and Cool Student all have a padded 15 inch laptop sleeve. The Under Armour Triumph Campus uses water-resistant UA Storm technology and a soft-lined sleeve for a 15 inch laptop.

For the gym, start with the adidas 4ATHLTS Camper. If you need one bag for training and work, pick the adidas Power Backpack. See more adidas backpacks, men's bags and women's bags.
