Suitcases, Duffle Bags & Travel Bags

Yes, of course! On decathlon.com.gr you will find an excellent variety of duffel bags, transport bags, as well as specialized travel backpacks. Our collection is geared towards durability and ergonomics, offering ideal solutions for both your sporting activities and short or long journeys.

The capacity of suitcases and travel bags is measured in liters (L) and is divided into three main categories:
Small / Cabin Baggage (30 to 40 Liters): Ideal capacity for two-day or three-day trips. It fits the absolute essentials and is usually suitable for the airplane cabin.
Medium (50 to 70 Liters): The most versatile choice for trips lasting about one week. It provides plenty of space for clothes, extra shoes, and toiletry bags, without becoming overly heavy to carry.
Large (80 to 120+ Liters): Designed for multi-day expeditions, family trips, or for transporting bulky sports equipment (e.g., winter gear, mountaineering equipment).

For air travel, the golden rule is to always check the allowed dimensions and weight limits of each respective airline, as regulations vary.
Generally speaking, for the cabin (cabin bag/carry-on), remember to select bags or suitcases up to 30-40 liters. The classic allowed dimensions for the overhead bin are approximately 55 x 40 x 20cm.
If you are looking for a bag to fit under the seat (personal item), you will need to limit yourself to a small backpack or compact travel bag around 20 liters (40 x 30 x 20cm).
For the cargo hold (checked baggage), you can choose medium or large bags (60-100L). Here the focus shifts to weight (usually a limit of 20-23 kg), which makes a fabric transport bag advantageous, as it is much lighter than a hard plastic suitcase, leaving you more room for your belongings.

Decathlon's travel bags and flexible suitcases are constructed from highly durable technical materials to withstand rough usage. The primary material used is high-density polyester (Denier). The higher the Denier count (e.g., 600D, 900D), the thicker and more tear-resistant the fabric weave is.
Equally important is a TPE or PU coating. Many of our duffel bags feature an exterior laminated coating, which makes the bag exceptionally resistant to friction, scratches, and raindrops, while it can be cleaned easily with a damp cloth.
Lastly, because durability lies in the details, prefer models with reinforced, thick zippers (such as YKK type) and double seams, which prevent the bag from bursting open under pressure.

A duffel bag beats a travel backpack if you prefer the following features:
Larger and easier opening: Duffel bags typically have a large "U-shaped" opening at the top. This allows you to view and organize your clothing just like it is in a drawer, without having to dig down into the bottom as you would with a backpack.
Car or boat travel: Due to its flexible shape, a duffel bag can be "squeezed" much more easily into a packed trunk or into tight cabin storage spaces.
Transporting sports gear: It is ideal if you are carrying bulky objects, helmets, shoes, or rackets that do not fit easily into the narrow structure of a typical backpack.

Yes, and in fact, they are one of the best options in our collection! At Decathlon, we design multi-functional transport bags that come equipped with smart, anatomical, and padded straps. This means you can hold them by the handles, carry them over the shoulder like a classic duffel bag, or wear them on your back like a backpack when you need to walk long distances or climb stairs, distributing the weight evenly across both shoulders.
