Boot Bags: A Buying Guide

Transpack Boot BagWhether you are a die-hard hiker, a skier or a snowboard baby, investing in a carrier for your footwear can help make your life a whole lot easier. Boot bags provide storage for outdoor gear in the off-season and make it easy to carry your boots when you are heading out for your sport or taking a trip and bringing them with you. Here are some tips for selecting the right one for you:

  • Be sure and check out the size of the bag. If you wear size 13 boots, you’ll want to be sure they will fit inside before you buy. If you have tiny feet, you won’t want a gigantic bag if you can avoid it. If big bags are all that is available, get one that has two compartments and store other items in the second one.
  • Go for water-resistant bags. If you’ll be tracking around in the snow, you will want to be sure your other stuff stays dry. This is also a good move if you are a hiker who goes out in all weather. Just because it is cold outside it doesn’t mean there won’t be mud. Water-resistant bags make wiping up easy.
  • If you are a mountain climber and want to invest in a bag, consider getting one with a reinforced bottom for better durability. They hold up well when placed on snow.
  • Look for easy grab handles or a sensible strap for convenient carrying.
  • Go for bags with additional pockets. The more you can fit in one bag, the less you will have to carry overall.
  • Search for reinforced materials at places such as the seams and handles. This type of bag will likely hold up better.

Volleyball Bags

Select Volleyball Bag There are a few different types of volleyball bags out there that might be useful to the player, depending on what they need and where they play. Here is a breakdown on some of the choices to help you decide which one might be right for you or your team:


  • Tournament ball bags. These large mesh bags hold multiple balls (typically in the 10 to 15 range), have reinforced bottoms and sturdy handles for easy carrying. Perfect for teams that travel a lot or even just for keeping them all in one spot at someone’s house.
  • Backpack-style bags. These bags cinch at the top with a drawstring and have straps so they can be worn “backpack style” for easy transport. They hold somewhere around 5 balls. Great for beach practice if you don’t want to give chase right away when someone gets a little carried away. Many have mesh incorporated into the design for ventilation.
  • Multi-purpose bags. These usually have a bag compartment and a ball attachment at the side. Often used by serious players, these have room for personal gear as well as one ball. A great individual bag choice.


Other options exist, but these are some of the most popular bags out there right now. All of these can help make your life easier when you go to transport gear, so making a choice between them really depends on your personal needs as a player.

Skateboard Bags

Zitteli Skateboard Bag Whether you are headed out to the X Games to watch the latest tricks or just going down the block to the skate park, having all your gear with you is a must. Skateboard bags can be a super way to make sure you don’t leave something behind when you go to practice, compete or hang out with friends.


A good bag won’t drag you down with weight, but will have some smart features to help you bring your stuff along. Items like water bottle holders and good straps to secure your board are important things to look for. Great extras include smart design features that allow you to plug and play your tunes without digging through the bag and safe zip pockets to hide a few dollars in case you need an energy bar after going hard all afternoon.


If you tend to ride at dusk or in the evening, be sure to check the bag for reflective strips, or make your own using reflective tape. After all, safe riding is good riding. It can also be a smart idea to put your name and phone number inside somewhere just in case the bag gets lost. Skateboard bags are also a great investment if you want to bring more than one board with you to practice; you can ride one and strap the other one in.

Hunting Bags

Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack Hunting Bag If you are new to hunting or if you are looking for the just the right gear, there are some things to keep in mind. Different features will appeal to different hunters, but there are some great gear choices out there for those who enjoy getting out in the woods to challenge themselves and hone their skill. Here are some thoughts on hunting bags:


  • You’ll want to blend. Camouflage fabrics or natural colors are a must-have feature when it comes to hunting. All the cool gear in the world can’t make up for blowing your cover.
  • You’ll want to eliminate excess weight. Let’s face it, hunting bags are typically loaded with the necessities; you don’t want the bag to be heavy before it’s packed.
  • You’ll want a durable bag. Balancing durability with a lightweight bag can be a challenge, but newer fabrics exist that can accomplish that if you look around a bit.
  • You’ll want multiple storage compartments. One large center compartment won’t do it for most hunters. You need spots made for ammunition and other items.
  • You’ll need protection from rain. Waterproof bags are the best choice as you never know when a storm will blow up or when you may get a bit of drizzle in the great outdoors.

Lacrosse Bags: The Under Armour Cradle Stick Bag

Under Armour Lacrosse Stick Bag Good lacrosse bags aren’t found very easily, but the Under Armour Cradle Stick Bag is one of the best out there. Specifically crafted for women, this bag is the perfect wrapping for your gear, protecting it well while still being attractive when carried.


Made specifically to carry one lacrosse stick, this is the ideal bag to both store your stick in and transport it. The heavy duty nylon rip-stop material protects it well during a trip and also keeps the dust and grime off of it at home. Mesh panels are built in for a bit of ventilation, and there is also a fleece pocket to store keys or valuables in if need be. The adjustable shoulder strap makes sizing it a snap, and the main storage area has perfectly engineered spots to stash your goggles, gloves and other small items.


Far from being a dull carrier, this stylish bag comes in several color accent options as well. Choose from the standard black or navy, or liven things up a bit and go with a pretty pink instead. The Under Armour emblem is embroidered on the bag, serving as a reminder of both the quality construction and the respected company name. If you are looking for a good lacrosse bag that is simple and well-designed, this is a great option.
