Astronova - Kipling - Grey

The backpack is made from durable polyester, which offers good water resistance against light rain and spills. However, it is not fully waterproof and we recommend using a rain cover for heavy downpours or extended exposure to wet conditions to protect contents.

The dedicated laptop sleeve is designed to fit most standard laptops. For precise compatibility, please refer to the product specifications or measure your laptop's dimensions. > Info needed: Specific maximum laptop size (inches).

For routine cleaning, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to wipe down the exterior. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or use harsh chemicals.

The AirScape backpanel is a ventilated, ridged foam backpanel designed to provide maximum comfort and breathability. It allows air to circulate between your back and the backpack, reducing heat buildup and preventing sweat, even during long hours of wear.

The Astronova is excellent for daily commutes and urban travel, offering great organization and comfort for essentials. For multi-day trips or extensive travel requiring larger capacity, you might consider a different bag designed for longer excursions, as this pack is optimized for student and daily use.

This means the primary fabric used for the backpack's body is made entirely from recycled materials, typically post-consumer plastic bottles. It's an eco-conscious choice that contributes to reducing waste and conserving resources, without compromising on durability.

The zippers on the Kipling Astronova are designed for daily use and durability. To ensure smooth operation and longevity, keep them clean and avoid overstuffing the backpack.

Ensure the backpack is properly adjusted. Loosen straps, put the pack on, then tighten evenly until snug but not restrictive. Distribute weight inside the pack, placing heavier items closer to your back.

The AirScape backpanel is designed for ventilation. Ensure your clothing isn't too restrictive and that the backpack isn't overtightened, which can reduce airflow. Consider lighter clothing in warm conditions.

Take time to assign specific types of items to each compartment. Utilize the smaller pockets for pens, keys, and cards, keeping larger items in the main sections. Regularly clear out unnecessary items.

Verify your laptop's dimensions against the sleeve's capacity. If it's too large, you may need an external padded sleeve or a different backpack. Ensure no other items are preventing the laptop from sliding in fully.

Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Gently rub the affected area. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and air dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
