FAQs
Can this bag fit a 16-inch laptop?
The padded sleeve is optimized for 15-inch laptops. A 16-inch laptop may not fit properly in the dedicated sleeve.
Is the backpack waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to its DWR finish, which beads off light rain, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
Does it have a water bottle pocket?
The Jester design prioritizes a streamlined profile, though it includes external bungee attachments for securing various items.
Is this backpack suitable for air travel?
Yes, its 28L size is perfect for use as a carry-on or personal item that fits easily under most airplane seats.
How do I adjust the shoulder straps?
Use the buckles located at the bottom of the straps to tighten or loosen them until the pack sits high and close to your back.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable
Adjust the sternum strap and verify that the shoulder straps are balanced evenly to ensure the FlexVent padding aligns with your back.
Laptop compartment feels tight
Ensure the device is centered within the sleeve and that there are no bulky items in the main compartment pushing against the sleeve's padding.
Stains on the fabric
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap; gently rub the affected area and allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Jester 28L, ensure you adjust the sternum strap so that it sits comfortably across your chest, which will help stabilize the load during long walks. For long-term maintenance, the bag is constructed from durable polyester, which should be cleaned by wiping it down with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as these can strip the DWR water-repellent coating. If the bag gets soaked, hang it in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to air dry. Ensure the laptop compartment is not overloaded with items that have sharp edges to prevent potential wear on the internal padding.
