I had very specific criteria for a carry-on diaper bag: not too heavy, fairly water-resistant, opens like a duffel, external pockets for pacifiers/quick access snacks, luggage strap, not too huge. These criteria were inspired by a certain viral brand whose bags retail for over almost 300 USD. THIS bag fits all those requirements. Bonus- a standard felt diaper caddy fits perfectly inside for organization. I found my unicorn bag and I’m absolutely over the moon ❤️
I like this back-bag, it is very light weight, made of good materials and does not absorb water. The only thing two things they can be improved that the zip can be covered to ensure water cannot get through it. Also the straps keep loosing up, so it would be good to enhance the quality to keep them in place.
Great bags. Got one in black and one in orange. Currently using them as hand luggage while travelling back to Australia. Couldn't be happier with them!
I love the side pockets for my phone and passport! The padding on the back and straps provides lots of support so I can walk around knowing my items are safe and my back is comfortable. I'd love to get another colour too!
This is a very unique bag. It has a lot of good pockets, feels durable, and the zippers are nice quality. I purchased this for travel and am really looking forward to using it.
I was impressed with the shoe pocket. That's what made me decide to get it. I am looking forward to traveling soon, and will definitely take the opportunity to give it a try.
Bought my bf this backpack and he cannot stop raving about it! Fits one medium compressible bag, and a pair of shoe, along with his headphones and other smaller gadgets. It's easy to place on your roller bag as well.
Perfect as a carry-on. It's so easy to fit so many things in such as clothes, toiletries, electronics etc. There's a pocket for everything! For the size, it's not too heavy in weight but it feels robust and high quality.
I can’t believe how many pockets there are in this fabulous travel bag. It’s very well designed with a top opening lid, a pocket for shoes, a safety pocket, a toiletries pocket, a hidden pocket for your passport or valuables not to mention the ones in the lid and the one at the back for your lap top or electrical items.
I filled mine ‘too full’ which made it heavy to carry. A hip strap would be great to balance this out, as it is a great bag which is going to see some serious use 😊
I love my 28ltr tangerine bag!
So easy to pack to its fullest dimensions, enough but not too many separate pockets of sensible sizes and it looks great! I’ve already had admiring comments.
Love it!!! Material is exceptional, color is great and I love the fact that it is waterproof.
PS: I do not agree with bad reviews. I ordered my backpack 8th of October and it did arrive to England 19th of October. I had updates with every step of the parcel.
The bag is as described on the website. Happy with the purchase. Zippers are good. Bag is big to hold a lot for international travel. I like that it has the compression straps outside. Also, the makers have now added a sternum strap (it shows they note customer feedback and improve the bags where possible). I really appreciate this !!
My only concern: The buckles looks a bit flimsy- i hope they hold up well during travel.
Thankyou bagsmart for this lovely creation!
I absolutely love it! It’s small/compact enough to fit as a cabin carry on bag. It has so many compartments to place everything I need such as phone, laptop, shoes, clothes, umbrella, water bottle. Love the luggage handle and the fact you can clip the backpack sides together to further compress it to make it smaller. It’s lightweight and it is waterproof. Highly recommend!!!
Brought this for a 3-month trip. I chose this because it has a shoe compartment, light weight, good straps - padded and comfy. I am female with a narrow back and this fits perfectly - not to bulky. I am pleased with my choice.
Great sized bag for taking on flights as the personal item. Has a lot of useful compartments and generally looks good. Also does a great job of not putting too much stress through the shoulders when the bag is heavy.
This backpack has simplified my life. I spend less time packing, less time searching for things, and less time worrying about my bags when I travel. It has removed small points of friction from my trips, making the entire experience more enjoyable. That's the highest praise I can give any product.
The product description and photos online are accurate, but they don't fully capture how great this bag is in person. The quality is something you have to feel to believe. It far exceeded the expectations set by the website. A very pleasant surprise.
Breaking in this backpack was effortless. There was no stiff, uncomfortable period. From the first time I wore it, it felt molded to my back. The comfort is immediate and lasting, trip after trip. It feels like it was made for me.
This was ordered as a present for my son who is at uni and he was over the moon with the different pockets and amount of storage space. Would definitely buy again
The bag is stable when set down, even on uneven surfaces. It doesn't easily tip over, which is great when you're in a crowded airport or train station. The base is flat and reinforced, providing a solid foundation for whatever you pack inside.
The side handle is perfectly positioned for balance. When you pick it up, the bag doesn't swing or feel awkward. It's a solid, comfortable handle that gets used more often than I thought it would, especially when pulling it out of the car or from under an airplane seat.
This backpack has a certain "je ne sais quoi" – an undeniable cool factor. I've received multiple compliments from strangers in airports and coffee shops. It looks and feels like a premium product, and it gives me a little boost of confidence when I carry it.
You can buy it directly from BAGSMART UK (uk.bagsmart.com). UK orders over £50 ship free, and orders under £50 pay £5. The Blast 38L comes in colours including Beige, Black, Mossy, Arona, Navy Blue, Brandy Snifter and Tangerine, and the product page lists 30-day returns.
Yes — the Blast 38L starts at 28L and expands to 38L, and its page lists a 5–7-day length of stay, so a weekend fits comfortably in the base size. For a short trip, keep it at 28L with the compression straps pulled in. Then unzip the expansion panel for 10L of extra capacity if you’re adding shoes, a coat, or souvenirs. It weighs 1.03kg, so packing light stays light.
Yes — it’s listed as underseat approved, with a base size of 31 × 20.5 × 42cm, and meets most airlines’ personal item requirements. Expanding to 38L adds depth (the expanded size is listed as 31 × 42 × 25.5cm), so compress it back down before you fly. Airline limits differ and change, and budget carriers such as Ryanair and easyJet can be stricter on size, so check your booking against the dimensions on the product page.
It’s a different kind of bag, so the comparison depends on how you travel. The Blast 38L is soft-sided, made from Taslon nylon with a 210D polyester lining and a water-repellent exterior, and the material is machine washable. At 1.03 kg, it’s designed to stay with you in the cabin rather than go in the hold. It isn’t a replacement for a hard-shell case if you need to check a bag. For heavier use, the Blast Pro 38L steps up to ripstop nylon and YKK zippers. Manufacturing defects are covered by a 1-year free replacement (see the Product Guarantee page for full terms).
Yes — it’s the entry-level Blast, ahead of the Pro models, and BAGSMART shows it for business travel and daily commutes. It has a 180° flat laptop compartment that fits up to 15.6", with an iPad and Kindle pocket. It also has six external pockets with strap-pull cords for quick access, and a full-clamshell opening. It comes in neutral colours including Black, Navy Blue and Beige. Check the product page for the current price.
It depends on what you need the bag to do, and the Blast range is built around that. The Blast 38L is the entry-level option, with 28L–38L expandable capacity, a 15.6" laptop compartment, a shoe compartment, a trolley pass-through, and a machine-washable, water-repellent exterior. The Blast Pro 38L and Blast Pro 40L step up in materials and security features, and the Blast Pro 43L Roller adds wheels. When comparing value, look at the fabric, the laptop protection, the expandability, and the returns and warranty terms, not just the price. Check each product page for current pricing.
BAGSMART doesn’t list a public discount code on the Blast 38L page. Any current offers, bundles and sale pricing are shown on the product page, the Sale page, and the Bundles page. They change, so check those for what’s live before you buy.
Yes, if you allow dispatch and delivery. Orders are processed in 1–2 working days and delivered in 3–7 business days, so allow up to about nine working days. Ordering around two weeks before you fly also leaves time for a return or exchange within the 30-day window.
