Antler’s ‘spacious’ under £50 backpack is a travel must-have


Antler’s last chance sale is still going strong, and if you’re off on an adventure this summer, whether that be travelling the world, or planning your next hike, chances are you’ll need a strong, sturdy backpack to hold all your on-the-go essentials.

Luckily, we’ve spotted this Bamburgh Roll Top Backpack from Antler that’s on sale for £48 down from £120 – and shoppers are shocked with how much they can fit inside despite its neat and compact outer appearance.

The handy backpack is crafted from a lightweight yet durable fabric making it ideal for holding everything from your laptop (thanks to the 15” padded laptop compartment) and other work essentials to spare clothes and heavy hiking accessories. The shower-proof roll top boasts a U-shaped zipper closer, offering easy access to items whilst keeping them nice and dry.  

The ‘tardis-like’ backpack has plenty of hidden compartments which may be the reason why shoppers have found it ‘surprisingly spacious.’ The two side pockets are great for holding your water bottle, energy-boosters, sun cream and anything else you may need to hand on-the-go while the internal pockets are great for housing important items like your travel documents, phone and jewellery.

Some customers have even left five-star reviews, calling the backpack ‘functional and stylish.’ One shopper said: “Really great bag, very comfortable straps and back pad. Big compartment for laptop and books with lots of varying compartments for pens etc. weatherproof too.” 

A second added: “Before it arrived, I wasn’t sure about the way it opens, and the amount it would hold. But actually, the backpack opens up nice and wide. It might be the way it’s shaped, but despite being 18L, it holds a lot more than my supposedly bigger bags.”

While a third wrote: “Really good quality my husband was very pleased with all the pockets and storage and flexibility of the bag in terms of the amount it can hold.”

 The backpack features two thick and sturdy straps on the back making carrying a breeze and there’s even a back sleeve which slots over a suitcase handle if you’re wanting to go hands-free. Other practical additions include D-ring clips and webbing loops for a carabiner. 

If you’re after the matching set, you can also pick up this Bamburgh Belt Bag in the sale for £28 down from £70, and this Bamburgh Cabin Duffel Bag for £48 instead of £120. Alternatively, if you’re looking to spend significantly less on an airline-approved cabin bag, we’ve spotted this £12 duffle bag on Amazon which has enough space for a ‘five-day holiday,’ according to reviews. 

The bag measures 40x19x25cm and fits perfectly under the plane seats, it complies with Ryanair’s strict travel luggage rules which allows you to take a free cabin bag measuring 40x20x25cm.
