Hockey bags
One of the first things you should do if you and/or your children are planning to, or are already playing ice hockey, is to purchase a good hockey bag. Manufacturers offer a wide range of bags for storing and transporting hockey equipment for the games and training sessions today. Hokejapasaule.lv features a selection of the best Bauer, CCM and Warrior models, so you can easily find the one that suits your needs best. To help you make your choice, we've prepared a brief guide to the most important points to consider when buying a hockey bag.
Usage
The first things to consider when buying a hockey bag is what kind of equipment will the bag be used for. The dimensions and the volume of the equipment will define the size of the bag, its design and other parameters. It is of course important to consider who will have to use the bag on everyday basis. If it is your child who needs a bag, consider whether they are strong enough to carry their kit over the shoulder or on the back. Kids and young people, as well as adults, of course, can benefit from using wheeled hockey bags, which make it easier to transport the gear without having to carry it all the time.
Configuration of compartments
How many and what kinds of compartments you will need in your hockey equipment bag is going to depend on how you plan to use one. For example, after a late-night training or a game you may want to stuff all of your belongings in one bag to get home as quickly as possible, so many compartments may be unnecessary. On the other hand, if the bag is used by a child or a young person, different compartments may prove to be useful for locating the necessary equipment quickly. At least one or two separate pockets are always handy whether you choose a classic or a wheeled hockey bag.
Sturdiness and strength
Hokejapasaule.lv offers the bags produced with durable materials that will not wear or tear quickly. As the hockey bags need to be used every day in any weather, the material also has to be waterproof. The sturdy base of the bag makes it easier to carry your kit and also protects it from impact.
Size
When choosing a hockey bag for a child or young player, it is advisable to select the size while keeping in mind that the little athlete is growing and in the next few years his hockey kit will also require more space. Hockey bags for adults, on the other hand, should be purchased taking into consideration the actual volume and the size of the full kit, so that everything could conveniently fit in the bag and its contents would not shift inside during transportation.
