The Cheerleader's Traveling Essentials

Every team has a different point of view when it comes to the “essentials” of cheerleading.

Whether that is having a specific shoe, preferred style of uniform, or standard bow.

However, one item that is up for debate is…BAGS

Duffel bags, backpacks, totes, drawstrings, fanny packs, gear bags, etc (Oh, my!)

With so many different options, you begin to ask questions like, "which is the best function for my needs?" and "does this fit my style?"

Which bag should I choose?

We know it is a tough question, so here are a few examples of some of our favorites, and why we think they're GREAT:

The adidas Small Issue Duffel $31.95

As a leader in the athletic apparel, anything that has "adidas" on it is guaranteed to be great quality (plus they have a lifetime manufacturer's guarantee, so that's awesome!). This adidas Small Issue Duffel has great pocket options for lots of storage, and if you need something even larger, there is the big-brother to this bag, the adidas Medium Issue Duffel that give you more room to pack.
This bag has the Hydroshell coated material that keeps your gear dry when the elements get sketchy. The shoulder strap is adjustable and removable, and there is even a side haul handle (which is pretty convenient, if you ask us!)

Holloway League Duffel Bag $25.95

Made from a heavyweight, water-resistant Oxford Nylon, this duffel bag can withstand a lot of traveling wear and tear. It features a large main compartment with a two-way zipper and bellowed front zippered pocket which is perfect to hold items you need frequently. The League Duffel comes in 11 different colors and has an adjustable/detachable padded shoulder strap and padded handle. The bag stays open because of a removable hard base, remove the base to fold up the bag when it's not in use carrying all of your important gear!

Asics Team Backpack $27.95

One of our best selling backpacks, the Asics Team Backpack comes in 9 team colors and features a large main compartment (which features a laptop sleeve) and a front zipper pocket with organizer and key fob. Side mesh pocket fits a 32 oz. water bottle. Adjustable padded straps give this bag a great fit for anybody. We are not joking about how much this bag can carry, it's hands down a great backpack option!

Team 365 Equipment Backpack $21.95

This unique backpack comes in 16 colors, you are sure to find the right color to match your team with these options! The large front mesh pocket is handy to store items you need to access frequently, and with the elastic at the top of the pocket, the items are secure from falling out accidentally.

An additional mesh side pocket is large enough to hold a bottled water, while the other side has a zippered pocket that is perfect to store your cheer shoes. The large base of this bag helps to keep it upright when it is packed full (which is a huge deal!)

Ripstop Backpack $19.95

Made of a durable denier polyester, this is a great low-cost option for a budget minded cheerleader.
The main zippered compartment is plenty large to hold all of your gear and the smaller front pocket is perfect to keep the smaller items organized and easy to find. There are two mesh side pockets that are perfect to hold water bottles. A padded back and adjustable straps help to secure the perfect comfortable fit.
