A small bag for under the plane seat seems easy to choose. Yet travellers regularly buy a model that turns out to be too big, awkwardly organised or less sturdy than the product photo suggests. So if you’re looking for Ryanair hand luggage measuring 40 x 20 x 25 cm, it’s worth looking beyond the price and appearance.
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I focus on details you can check: dimensions, weight, capacity, material and carrying options. That way, you can avoid finding that your Ryanair underseat bag doesn’t fit properly under the seat at the gate, or having to pay for extra baggage for a short trip.
Many bags are described as “cabin size” or “suitable for budget airlines” without clearly stating their exact external dimensions. Ryanair’s free small bag allowance is usually a maximum of 40 x 20 x 25 cm. Always check the dimensions of the entire bag, including handles, side pockets and any parts that stick out.
For example, a bag measuring 40 x 25 x 20 cm might have the same capacity on paper, but still not fit in the baggage sizer. Also check the airline’s current baggage rules shortly before you travel. Dimensions and conditions can vary by ticket type or airline.
A 20-litre cabin bag sounds spacious, but how much you can actually fit depends on its shape and pocket layout. A narrow bag with lots of padded sections might hold less clothing than a simple soft holdall. For a weekend away, a main compartment, a document pocket and a separate internal pocket are often more practical than lots of small zipped pockets.
Check the bag’s own weight too. A lightweight hand luggage bag weighing 0.36 to 0.50 kg leaves more room for clothes, toiletries and electronics within any weight limit.
Oxford fabric is often used for compact holdalls. This tells you something about the type of woven material, but doesn’t automatically mean the bag is waterproof. According to the product information, Kono’s camouflage model is not water-resistant. Other models are described as being made from water-resistant Oxford fabric; this usually means protection from light rain or splashes, not prolonged exposure to water.
A soft-sided bag is also easy to store, but offers less protection than a hard-shell suitcase. Pack delicate items in a protective case and put liquids in a sealed bag.

Not always. These dimensions match Ryanair’s stated size for a small cabin bag, but the space available can vary between aircraft and seats. Place the bag under the seat in front of you and make sure the side pockets don’t stick out. Check your ticket conditions too.
It depends on the season and how you pack. For a short trip, you can usually fit a few shirts, underwear, trousers, toiletries and a pair of lightweight shoes. Roll your clothes and use the internal pocket for smaller items. A coat or chunky shoes will take up quite a bit of room.
Its lifespan depends on how often you use it, how much you pack and how you handle it. Avoid overloading the zips, lift the bag by its handles and clean the Oxford fabric with a soft, damp cloth. Check the seams, zips and shoulder strap before your next flight. This helps you spot in good time if any parts need replacing or repairing.
