Ensure your pack is properly loaded, with heavier items close to your back. Then, re-adjust the Custom Fit-on-the-Fly Hipbelt, Shoulder Straps, and torso length carefully.

While the AirScape backpanel is designed for breathability, high exertion will naturally lead to some sweating. Ensure your pack is fitted correctly, allowing for maximum airflow. Avoid overtightening straps that might restrict ventilation. Take regular breaks to air out your back.
For anything more than light drizzle, immediately deploy the integrated raincover. While the PFC-free DWR coating provides initial water resistance, it's not fully waterproof. For sustained or heavy rain, the raincover is essential for protecting your contents. Consider using dry bags for critical items inside the pack for an extra layer of protection.
