Finally, a backpack built for Comfort & Stability.

Whether you have a curious cat, a growing puppy, or a small dog, you know the struggle: most carriers are flimsy, they sag, and they feel unstable.

The Outback Explorer is designed to solve this. Unlike soft bags that collapse, it features a reinforced structural base that supports up to 12kg without sagging. This keeps your pet’s spine aligned and provides a stable platform so they feel safe—whether they are 3kg or 12kg.

Built for the Australian climate, we swapped the plastic bubbles that trap heat for 360° Airflow Mesh, ensuring a cool breeze all summer. With padded ergonomic straps and an escape-proof internal tether, it is the safest way to bring your best mate along for the ride.
