Rugby Kit Bags, Holdalls & Backpacks

About

Rugby Holdalls and Duffel Bags The holdall is the standard kit bag for most club players - a large main compartment for kit, shorts and training gear, and a separate rugby boot compartment at the side to keep muddy studs away from everything else. Most decent rugby holdalls will take a full match kit, a second training layer, a pair of boots and your wash kit without being overfull. Canterbury produce the most widely used holdalls at club level in the UK - the large holdall is both popular with both individual players and clubs buying in volume. The separate boot compartment is the feature most players look for first and it's worth prioritising. A bag without one means muddy boots sharing space with clean kit, which nobody wants on a Sunday morning. Rugby Backpacks Rugby backpacks have grown in popularity as more players commute to training directly from work. A good rugby backpack carries enough for a training session without being unwieldy on public transport - padded back panel, enough capacity for kit and a change of clothes, and ideally a separate compartment for boots. Rugby Kit Bags with Boot Compartments The boot compartment is the single most searched-for feature in a rugby kit bag, and for good reason. A ventilated separate compartment at the side of the bag keeps boot studs from damaging the main fabric, prevents mud transferring to clean kit, and means you can leave damp boots in the bag after training without everything else getting wet. Most Gilbert holdalls and larger backpacks include a dedicated boot compartment as standard - check individual product descriptions for confirmation if it's a priority for you.

The fabrics hold up to repeated muddy use, the zips last, and the Vaposhield outer shell on the holdall is worth having if you're travelling to away games or leaving bags pitchside in all we
