Adventure-ready, everyday smart – the Discovery 45L Backpack is made for journeys that go off the beaten path. With the packing power of a cabin suitcase, it’s built for travellers who want the freedom of hands-free travel without compromising quality.
Made with durable, water-repellent recycled fabrics, it matches the capacity of a cabin suitcase but in a flexible backpack form. Full side opening with compression straps makes packing easy and organised, while a padded laptop sleeve fits even the largest laptops. Built for comfort in motion, fully adjustable back straps and a chest strap offer extra support when carrying heavier loads. The large front drop pocket and handy quick-access side pockets offer plenty of convenient space for essentials, plus hidden compartments to tuck straps away neatly when not in use.
Pair it with the antler icon crossbody or antler icon slingbag for seamless organisation on the move – from urban exploration to outdoor escapes.

Care and Maintenance
Clean regularly with a soft cloth or sponge and mild soap.
Spot-clean stains rather than using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Do not bleach the backpack.
Avoid machine washing unless the manufacturer's care instructions specifically permit it.
Air dry naturally after cleaning; avoid tumble drying or placing it directly against a radiator.
Keep zips and compartments free from debris to help maintain smooth operation.
Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, as the water-repellent finish is not the same as being fully waterproof.
Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Avoid overloading the backpack, particularly if doing so puts excessive strain on zips, seams or straps.
