FAQs
What is the capacity of the laptop compartment?
The dedicated laptop compartment is padded and designed to fit laptops up to 17 inches.
Is the backpack waterproof?
The backpack is made from weather-resistant polyester, offering protection against light rain. However, it is not fully waterproof, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may allow moisture to penetrate.
How do I clean the backpack?
Clean the backpack with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing. Always allow it to air dry completely.
What does the RFID protection do?
The RFID-protected organizer panel helps safeguard your credit cards, ID, and other valuables from unauthorized scanning and identity theft.
Can I attach the backpack to rolling luggage?
Yes, the backpack features an add-a-bag trolley strap on the back panel, designed to glide over the handle of most rolling carry-on luggage.
What material is the backpack made from?
The backpack is constructed from durable, weather-resistant 1200D ballistic polyester.
Are the shoulder straps adjustable?
Yes, the contoured shoulder straps are padded with mesh fabric and are fully adjustable for a comfortable, personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently pull the zipper while trying to dislodge any fabric caught in it. You can also try rubbing a pencil lead or a bit of wax along the teeth to lubricate it.
Backpack feels uncomfortable
Adjust the shoulder straps to ensure they are evenly tightened and snug. Check that the load is distributed evenly within the compartments. Utilize the sternum strap if available for added stability.
Water bottle pocket is too small
The side pockets are designed for standard-sized water bottles. Oversized bottles may not fit securely. Consider using a carabiner to attach larger items to the exterior webbing if needed.
ScanSmart feature not recognized
Ensure the laptop is placed flat within its sleeve in the designated compartment. The lay-flat design requires the backpack to be opened fully at the security checkpoint.
