Description
STRIKER is a Soccer Equipment Bag that condenses all of the essentials for an effective soccer practice into one easy to carry bag. This bag provides extra comfort and convenience to eliminate the stress and discomfort of carrying multiple bags and gear out to the field for training sessions.

Innovation
The STRIKER Soccer Equipment Bag addresses the existing issue of transporting practice equipment to and from training sessions. A survey with over 50 respondents found that soccer balls, cones, pop-up goals, practice jerseys, air pumps, and water bottles were found to be the most commonly used and essential items for an effective practice session. Currently, soccer equipment is carried in individual bags for each piece of gear. This means that anywhere between 3-6 different bags must be carried out to the field in order for soccer players to train, and even more bags if the group is larger.
However, STRIKER solves this issue by carrying all of that gear in one bag. The STRIKER bag holds 6 soccer balls, 25 large cones, 2 pop-up goals, 6 practice jerseys, an electric ball pump, and a water bottle, with dedicated units for each item. This means that one bag can hold enough equipment for a group of 6-12 players to conduct an effective training session.
The STRIKER bag makes it easier to store and find equipment when it's not in use, eliminates bag piling on team buses for games, and makes the process of carrying equipment to and from the field more comfortable and more efficient.

Product Detail
The STRIKER Soccer Equipment Bag is made of ripstop nylon fabric, PVC waterproof canvas, polyester mesh, polyurethane foam, and 3D air mesh. The ripstop nylon fabric is durable, water-resistant, and light to reduce as much weight as possible while carrying the bag. The PVC waterproof canvas ensures that water does not seep in through the bottom of the bag while the bag is resting on the ground. Additionally, the polyester mesh was added to allow moisture and odors brought into the bag via the soccer balls and cones to escape and prevent odor buildup in the bag. The polyurethane foam and 3D air mesh are combined to provide extra comfort and support in both the back panel and shoulder straps to provide a comfortable and balanced wearing experience for the user.

Specification
The STRIKER Bag was designed with soccer gear in mind, but it can also be used for other sports such as basketball or volleyball.
