Bagsmart's 38L Blast Backpack comes across as a well organized travel bag that works especially well as a personal item and inflight carry. The top opens wide for easy access, it packs like a suitcase from the side, and the sturdy build and logical layout fit one bag travel well. The bundled compression cubes add real value, especially at the $29.97 clearance price. The main drawback is that the large compartment compression strap does not tighten much, and finding actual store stock can be difficult.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. The Costco Blast version has the compression-cube bundle and a top that opens around the entire top, while the Amazon version is sold as a different SKU with different branding and a different front-zip layout.
The 4-piece packing cubes alone are estimated at about $10-$15, so the bundle is a strong value at $29.97. The backpack itself is also described as roomy and well organized, making the clearance price especially attractive.
Yes. The layout is described as very logical for one-bag travel, with the Costco version unzipping around the entire top so small items are easy to reach, especially on flights.
Yes. Several comments describe it as a last-unit or hidden clearance item, and app stock can be unreliable, so finding one in a physical warehouse is the main challenge.
It can be used as a personal item on most airlines. The bag is also easy to access in-flight from the top or when laid on its side, which makes it practical for one-bag travel.

Couldn't find it in either store.
Costco lists Item 4000447387 / Vendor Model 2011288
Amazon's listing metadata (in the HTML or product Q&A) references Model 2011288 as well
That shared vendor model number confirms they're physically identical.
Why the branding differs
Costco's version is labeled "Blast 38L" because BAGSMART created that name for its exclusive warehouse bundle.
Amazon's listing omits "Blast" because:
BAGSMART uses generic naming ("Travel Backpack 38L") for open‑channel SKUs sold directly or via Amazon FBA.
"Blast" is a Costco‑exclusive sub‑brand used only for bundles (with cubes, shoe pouch, etc.).
The underlying SKU (internal model code) is the same, but the marketing name and UPC differ slightly for tracking and warranty segmentation.
In short:
Same bag, different retail identity.
Costco gets the "Blast" branding; Amazon gets the generic BAGSMART label.
Material and construction
Both listings show:
identical ripstop polyester weave (same texture and sheen)
identical nylon webbing straps and buckles
identical rubberized zipper pulls with the same loop geometry
same 3D mesh back panel and thickened sponge padding
same water‑resistant coating (Costco's "Premium Craftsmanship" panel matches Amazon's water‑beading photo exactly)
So yes — the bag itself is identical in materials, stitching pattern, and hardware.
Different measurement conventions
BAGSMART uses two internal volume metrics:
Nominal capacity (the structured compartment volume measured with dividers in place)
Maximum expanded capacity (the total usable space when compression straps are loosened and partitions removed)
Costco lists the nominal figure — 38 L — because its "Blast" bundle emphasizes the organized, divider‑based layout.
Amazon lists the maximum figure — 40 L — because its open‑channel listing markets the backpack as a flexible carry‑on.
So both are correct; they're just measured under different configurations.
Retail‑channel labeling
Costco's merchandising team locks the volume spec to the bundle SKU (with cubes and divider system).
Amazon's listing is the stand‑alone SKU, which BAGSMART markets as expandable.
Same physical bag, same model 2011288 — but the marketing spec differs by channel.

AI confirms the one in the link below on Amazon at $44.99 (without compression bundled items) is identical to the COSTCO one (same material, zippers, etc.). https://www.amazon.com/BAGSMART-B...0GGXDD7HV/

Sometimes people are so daft even though stuff is stuck right in front of their eyes.
The ONLY difference:
1) Amazon has bundled shoe bag; Costco has bundled 4-piece compression set.
2) Amazon has an internal divider in the main compartment.
That's it! Every thing else of the main bag is identical!
Bagsmart creates market segmentation exactly for folk like you who can't tell the difference!
Why don't you take Marketing 101 and learn to open your eyes?

Amazon not only has the 4 colors that Costco has (2 are out of stock), but also coffee-brown.

Amazon lists the maximum figure — 40 L — because its open‑channel listing markets the backpack as a flexible carry‑on.
Likewise, the difference in height is how it is measured for different market segmentation. These bags are flexible by the way.......not rigidly locked dimensions.
Your only consideration for choosing between Amazon and Costco should be:
Whether Costco's bundled compression bags is worth the price differential. PERIOD!
