Before choosing your bag for Black Friday luggage Macron, make a list of what you're actually taking: a ball, knee pads and an outfit fit into a backpack, a weekend of tournaments requires wheels.
Macron, an Italian teamwear brand, addresses both needs and also considers the coaches, with a medical bag and a bench bag.
The Windfall backpack has an expandable mesh front pocket designed for the ball. It stays outside, visible and airy, while the inside remains free for your gear. There's also an organiser for small items and a laptop pocket, handy for heading straight to the gym after classes.
The Shuttle and the Route, in black, are simple backpacks for weekly training. The Path comes in cardinal colour and in a Maxi version in red and white, for those who want a bit of colour on their back.
The Boarding can be pulled along thanks to its retractable handle and two wheels, and it stands upright in the locker room on its feet. Its semi-rigid bottom made of durable polyester protects the contents. At the front, there are areas for the club logo and sponsors, a plus for a custom team order. The Adventure bag and trolley complete the offer for travel.
Macron also thinks about the coaches. The medical bag keeps the first aid kit organised from one match to another, and the pouch holds the match papers and the coach's phone.
For other models, check out the Errea bags, the brand that outfits the French national volleyball team, or those from Kappa. The Under Armour bags are more suited for physical training. The page Black Friday bags brings together all the brands, and the Christmas special offers take over for end-of-year gifts.
The discounted Macron bags for the event are all gathered here. Compare backpacks and wheeled models based on your needs, then visit the Black Friday bags page if you want to see other brands.
For weekly training, the backpack is sufficient and can be easily carried by bike or public transport. The wheeled bag becomes interesting for tournaments, camps, and train journeys, when a change of clothes is added. If you only take one, choose based on your most frequent use.
Some tape for fingers and ankles, instant cold packs, supplies to disinfect and dress a scrape. Volleyball puts a lot of strain on fingers during blocking and setting, so get various widths of tape. Also add useful numbers and parental consent forms for minors.
Yes, backpacks like the Shuttle or Route are a reasonable size for teenagers. Make sure the straps can be adjusted short enough and that the bag remains light when full. A bag that's too big for their frame quickly ends up being carried on one shoulder.
Yes, it's a useful gift that serves for every session. If you're unsure of their habits, the backpack remains the most versatile option. After Black Friday, Christmas offers still allow you to find a bag to give.
