Rhythmic gymnastics backpacks: how to choose the right one

A good backpack goes with a gymnast to every training session and every competition, so it's worth taking your time choosing one. In this collection you'll find professional rhythmic gymnastics backpacks in a range of sizes: PONY (9 litres), ARABESK (13 litres), BATMAN (24 litres), ANDEOR (28 litres), GRACIA (29 litres, in light blue) and FUETE (34 litres).

Before you decide, go through what you usually carry: apparatus, leotards, shoes, a water bottle or warm-up clothing. If you're not sure, our article on what every gymnast should have in her bag has a handy list to help you get organised.

How to choose a rhythmic gymnastics backpack

• Capacity: the 9- and 13-litre models, such as PONY and ARABESK, work well if you carry little kit. Between 24 and 29 litres (BATMAN, ANDEOR, GRACIA) you'll have more room, and FUETE, at 34 litres, has the largest capacity.
• Apparatus you carry: think about whether you'll be packing clubs, hoop, ribbon or rope, and whether you need extra space for shoes.
• Protecting your equipment: if you want to carry each apparatus separately, pair the backpack with one of our apparatus covers.
• Real-life use: for daily training, something more compact is enough; for competitions, a larger model is usually more convenient.
