What am I looking for

There are thousands of duffel bags on the online stores but when I choose the bags I look for the following:

1. Size – Not too oversized for your kid so any bag below 20 inches in length is good.
2. Lightweight – no significant additional weight for your kid
3. Free shipping and return

1. Puma Kids’ Evercat transformation duffel bag

• 100% polyester
• Zipper closure
• 19″ shoulder drop
• Side mesh pocket
• Dual top straps
• Adjustable shoulder strap
• Printed logo

Pros:

• Designed for sports kids
• Enough space for soccer kids’ gear

Cons:

• Some customers found it smaller than expected – 14 x 9 x 8.5 inch
• No interior pockets

Great size for any kid who plays soccer because it has enough space for all the required gear. There is only 1 mesh pocket your kid can fit a water bottle.

The polyester material is water-resistant but the bag is not waterproof.

The only downside is that it does not have a soccer cleat compartment.

Mesh pockets: 1
Other pockets: No
Dimension: 14 x 9 x 8.5 inch

2. Dalix 14″ small duffle bag

• 600D polyester
• Zippered closure
• Top padded handle
• Two side-carry handles
• Removable/adjustable shoulder strap

Pros:

• Spacious for kids soccer gear
• The side-carry handles give more carrying options

Cons:

• Side pocket not roomy
• No mesh pockets for water bottle

This is a great soccer bag that has additional carrying options – the side-carry handles.

It is durable and sturdy enough to carry the weight of your kid’s soccer gear.

The only issue here is that there are no mesh side pockets to store water bottles.

• Multifunctional pockets
• Mesh pocket
• Adjustable shoulder strap

Pros:

• Lots of pockets
• Breathable shoe compartment

Cons:

• The wet pocket is small for a big towel
• The shoe compartment takes up too much space

A slightly bigger bag for older kids and I like the shoe compartment, zippered waterproof wet pocket, front pockets, and the SBS zippers.

The shoe compartment will definitely take up some space because it is located at the side of the bag and not at the bottom like the soccer backpacks.

Also, there are a lot of other color options to choose from.

Mesh pockets: 1
Other pockets: 2
Dimension: 19.69 x 10.24 x 9.84 inches

However, this is still a good strong bag and can be used for camping and traveling.
