01Ball on the outside · 6 bags
Forty litres in a 19 by 12 by 11 inch body, with a hanging loop, a shoe bay and a cage that holds the ball on the front.
Forty litres is a lot of bag for a sport played with one ball and one pair of shoes, and the extra volume is doing something specific: it is the difference between a pack that holds practice kit and a pack that holds practice kit plus the change of clothes that goes on afterwards. The 19 by 12 by 11 inch body carries a shoe bay of its own, a ball cage on the front that flattens when it is empty, and a loop on the back so the whole thing hangs off a hook or a fence rather than lying in the dirt of a court.
Three colours, and one of them matters more than the design: the pastel body is the one people buy so the bag can be picked out of a pile at the end of a session. Prices run from $13.28 to $19.99, which is the low end of this entire catalogue, and the 40-litre pastel model carries 1,435 ratings at 4.8 stars — the highest average of anything on these shelves. If the same bag is going to school on a child, weigh it loaded before it does.
If the pack is going to school on a child, weigh it. The american academy of pediatrics puts the ceiling at 15% of the child's own body weight, asks that the bottom of the pack rest in the curve of the lower back and never sit more than four inches below the waistline, wants two broad padded straps rather than one, and says the heaviest things — the textbook, the laptop — ride closest to the back. A compartment count is not a substitute for any of that. Our capacity figures say what a bag holds, not what a person should carry.
Every figure in this note comes from a named public source. All of them, with the date we read them, are on our updates page.
2 sizes, each one a link to the card that carries it.
3 colours, named from our own product data rather than from a photograph.

03Asked before ordering
What people ask us about basketball backpacks before they pick a size.
Yes, in a front cage that stretches around a full-size ball and lies flat against the body when there is nothing in it. That keeps a ball that has been on a wet court away from everything inside the pack.
It can be, and volume is not the test. Weigh the pack loaded: the american academy of pediatrics puts the ceiling at 15% of the child's own body weight, and asks that the bottom sit in the curve of the lower back rather than four inches below the waistline. A 40-litre pack half full is often the right answer.
The cage takes any ball of roughly that size, and the shoe bay does not care what sport the shoes came from. People use these for volleyball and for training kit; what they do not suit is a sport with long equipment, which is what the football bags on the next shelf are for.
