FAQs
What is the actual capacity of the Kipling CITY PACK S?
The backpack has a 13-liter volume, making it suitable for carrying your daily essentials such as a wallet, mobile phone, keys, a small book or e-reader, and a compact umbrella. It's designed for light loads.
Is this backpack fully waterproof?
The Kipling CITY PACK S features a water-repellent finish, which means it can resist light rain and splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water or used in heavy downpours.
How do I clean the Kipling furry monkey?
The furry monkey charm can be gently spot cleaned using a mild soap and cold water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
Can I fit a laptop in this backpack?
Due to its small size (33.5 Height x 27 Width x 19 Depth cm) and 13L volume, the CITY PACK S is generally not suitable for most standard laptops. It might accommodate a very small tablet or e-reader, but always check your device's dimensions against the bag's internal measurements.
What material is the backpack made from?
The Kipling CITY PACK S is made from 100% Polyamide, which is known for its durability, lightweight properties, and water-repellent capabilities.
Are the side pockets secure enough for a phone?
The two side pockets have magnetic stud fastenings. While convenient for quick access, they are less secure than zipped pockets. For higher security for items like a mobile phone, we recommend using the zipped front, back, or internal pockets.
Troubleshooting
My backpack straps keep slipping.
Ensure the adjustable buckles are threaded correctly and are securely tightened. Over time, heavy loads can sometimes cause minor slippage; try adjusting the straps again or consider if the load exceeds the bag's intended capacity.
The zippers are stiff or getting stuck.
Rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil or apply a commercial zipper lubricant along the zipper teeth. Open and close the zipper several times to distribute the lubricant evenly.
The water-repellent effect seems to be diminishing.
Clean the bag as per care instructions. If the repellency is still low, you can apply a fabric-specific water repellent spray suitable for polyamide/polyester materials, following the product's instructions carefully.
The main compartment drawstring doesn't close smoothly.
Check for any fabric caught in the drawstring channel. Ensure the drawstring is free of knots or twists. Gently pull both ends simultaneously to ensure even closure.
The magnetic stud on the front flap isn't holding securely.
Ensure the flap is perfectly aligned with the stud when closing. If the issue persists, check if any debris is obstructing the magnetic connection or if the stud itself has become loose. Avoid overstuffing the main compartment, as this can prevent proper closure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Kipling CITY PACK S is straightforward:
- Adjust Straps: Unpack the backpack and place it on your back. Adjust the adjustable backpack straps until the bag sits comfortably against your back, distributing the weight evenly. Ensure the straps are snug but not too tight.
- Organize Contents: Utilize the various pockets to organize your items. Place frequently accessed items in the zipped front or back pockets, and essentials like your phone and wallet in the dedicated internal pockets.
- Secure Main Compartment: After placing items in the main compartment, pull the drawstring tight and secure the front flap with its magnetic stud fastening.
Compatibility
This small backpack is designed to accommodate:
- Daily Essentials: Wallet, mobile phone, keys (use the key fob for security).
- Small Gadgets: A small tablet, e-reader, or compact camera.
- Personal Items: Sunglasses, small cosmetics, tissues, a compact umbrella.
- Documents: Small notebooks or journals.
It is not intended for large laptops, multiple textbooks, or extensive grocery shopping due to its 13L volume.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Kipling CITY PACK S:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the backpack with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution (like diluted laundry detergent) on a cloth, gently rub the affected area, and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always allow the bag to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Water Repellency: The water-repellent finish is designed to repel light moisture. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the coating. If the water repellency diminishes over time, you may re-treat the fabric with a suitable fabric protector spray designed for polyamide materials.
- Storage: When not in use, store your backpack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
