FAQs
What is the total volume of the backpack system?
The total volume is 70 liters, comprising a 55L main pack and a 15L detachable daypack.
Can the main pack be used as a carry-on?
The main pack's dimensions (26H x 15.4W x 18.5D inches) may exceed standard airline carry-on limits. It is best used as checked luggage, especially when the daypack is attached. Always check with your specific airline for their regulations.
How do I adjust the torso length?
Locate the hook-and-loop adjustable backpanel. Release the fastener, slide the harness to your correct torso length, and re-secure the fastener.
What materials are used in the construction?
The main body is constructed from bluesign® APPROVED, 100% recycled 200D nylon with a DWR treatment. The bottom is made from bluesign® APPROVED, 100% recycled 420D nylon, also with a DWR treatment.
Is the daypack integrated or fully detachable?
The daypack is fully detachable, allowing for independent use during day trips or as a personal item.
What is the purpose of the WingJacket™ compression straps?
The dual strap WingJacket™ compression straps, along with fabric sidewalls, help to tighten and stabilize the load within the main compartment, making the pack more compact and comfortable to carry.
Does the harness and hipbelt fully stow away?
Yes, the backpanel, harness, and hipbelt can be zipped away into a protective compartment, offering a cleaner profile for checked baggage and preventing snagging.
Troubleshooting
Harness or hipbelt feels uncomfortable
Ensure the torso length is correctly adjusted for your height. Re-adjust the hipbelt to sit correctly on your iliac crest and ensure the sternum strap is in a comfortable position.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Check zippers for any fabric snags. Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.
Daypack attachment feels loose
Verify that all attachment points (clips, straps, zippers) are fully engaged and secured according to the manual's instructions.
Main compartment difficult to close when full
Utilize the internal compression straps to stabilize contents. Avoid overpacking and consider distributing some weight to the detachable daypack if needed.

- Optimized internal organization for travel essentials.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To achieve the best fit, adjust the torso length by releasing the hook-and-loop fasteners on the backpanel and sliding the harness to the appropriate position. Ensure the sternum strap is fastened comfortably, and the hipbelt is snug around your hips for optimal load transfer. The daypack attaches securely to the front of the main pack using integrated clips and zippers.
Compatibility: The main compartment volume is 55L, with an additional 15L for the detachable daypack. Dimensions are 26H x 15.4W x 18.5D inches. While the main pack can sometimes be compressed, its overall size may exceed standard carry-on dimensions, especially when the daypack is attached. It is recommended to check with your airline regarding specific carry-on size and weight restrictions.
Care: Clean the backpack using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and DWR treatment. Allow the backpack to air dry completely away from direct heat. Ensure all zippers and buckles are clean and free of debris to maintain smooth operation.
