FAQs
Is this backpack waterproof?
No, it is made of polyester which is water-resistant to a degree but not waterproof. We recommend a rain cover for heavy downpours.
Will a 15-inch laptop fit inside?
A slim 15-inch laptop might fit in the main compartment, but keep in mind there is no protective padding or sleeve, so extra caution is needed.
Can I machine wash the bag?
We recommend spot cleaning only. Machine washing can damage the structure and material of the bag.
What are the dimensions of the bag?
The dimensions are 42 x 32 x 12 cm, offering a capacity of approximately 22 liters.
Is this suitable for heavy textbooks?
Yes, the polyester fabric and reinforced stitching are designed for everyday carry, including books and personal items.
Troubleshooting
Stiff or sticky zipper
Gently rub a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of candle wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate the track.
Shoulder straps sliding
Ensure the webbing is looped through the buckle correctly. Check for debris in the slider if the strap continues to slip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the backpack is straightforward; simply adjust the shoulder straps to your preferred length to ensure the bag sits comfortably against your back, ideally positioned mid-spine. The bag is compatible with most standard-sized tablets and compact notebooks, though it is recommended to use a protective sleeve for electronics to compensate for the lack of internal padding. To keep your bag looking new, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the polyester fibers and weaken the material over time. Air dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
