Choose the Perfect Sports Backpack for Your Gear
The straps of your backpack should be stiff enough to support the weight without sagging. Contoured, S-curve straps provide a comfortable, ergonomic fit. Foam in the shoulder and hip belts provide added cushion, while mesh-lined straps keep the bag breathable on your shoulders. Compression-molded straps deliver the best support available.
Before making your purchase, think about how you will use your new bag. Learn more about the different type of bags and packs available at DICK'S Sporting Goods:
- Daypacks are intended for use by hikers and campers on shorter trails and trips, and are generally lightweight, soft backed or frameless.
- Sports backpacks feature compartments for equipment, footwear and water bottles.
- School backpacks and bookbags are designed to carry multiple books, papers and travel accessories, are generally frameless, and have internal pockets for extra organization.
- Internal-frame packs are made for long hikes and feature rigid frames that help position the weight of your load.
- External-frame packs support heavy loads from attached pack and harnesses. These designs are cooler to carry in hot temperatures because the pack does not rest against your back, allowing air to circulate.
- Hydration packs are designed to provide water while you're on the move. Drink water via a tube equipped with a non-leaking valve.
