FAQs
Does the 45L fit as carry-on luggage?
Yes, its design is intended to meet standard cabin suitcase capacity, but always check with your specific airline for their current carry-on size limits.
Is the backpack waterproof?
It is designed to be adventure-ready, but it is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. We recommend using a rain cover in heavy downpours.
How do I hide the straps?
Simply tuck the shoulder straps into the designated hidden compartments located on the back panel of the bag.
Can this bag be used for daily work commuting?
Yes, but due to the 45L capacity, it is best suited for those who carry significant amounts of gym gear or equipment along with their laptop.
What is the best way to clean the internal lining?
Spot clean the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Allow the bag to dry completely with all compartments open.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel uncomfortable during long hikes
Adjust the chest strap to a higher position and tighten the shoulder straps to pull the pack closer to your center of gravity.
Laptop compartment feels too tight
Ensure that items in the main compartment are not over-stuffed; use the internal compression straps to flatten gear before closing the laptop sleeve.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check that the internal packing fabric is not caught in the teeth and ensure the bag is not overfilled, causing pressure on the zipper seam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Discovery 45L, ensure the zippers are kept clear of fabric to avoid jams. When packing, utilize the internal compression straps to pull gear tight against the back panel to improve stability while walking. For care, clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh detergents or abrasive brushes that could damage the fabric coating. If the bag gets wet, air dry it in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
