In short: choose a sports backpack by the volume of your gear, especially if you carry gloves, protective equipment and clothes after training. For more carrying options, you can also view the sports bags and backpacks category.
- Boxing and kickboxing: allow space for boxing gloves from 10 to 16 oz, hand wraps and a towel.
- MMA and muay thai: a larger main compartment helps carry muay thai shin guards, which take more room than MMA gloves.
- Short commutes: a compact backpack works when you only carry clothing, a bottle, a mouthguard and small accessories.
- Club sessions and travel: look for clear separation between clean clothing, damp kit and protective gear.
The current range includes Phantom Athletics backpacks, with models such as APEX Supporter, DELTA, APEX Team and APEX. The Phantom Athletics range suits combat sports athletes who want a training-focused backpack without moving to a larger sports bag when their load stays moderate.
