Full details

This Oliver Sweeney Rolltop Backpack in Black is designed for adults, offering a practical and stylish solution for daily commutes, work, or short trips, particularly for cyclists. Its key benefit is the adaptable rolltop design that secures contents and offers flexible volume. A potential caveat is that the smooth PU material, while waterproof, may show scuffs more readily than traditional fabric. The backpack features a durable, waterproof PU exterior, a vibrant orange lining, a secure rolltop closure, padded shoulder straps with a chest strap, an external waterproof zipped pocket, and an internal laptop compartment.

How do I clean the backpack?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry.

Who is this backpack best suited for?

What is the material of the backpack?

The backpack is made from smooth, matt black PU (polyurethane) with a striking orange twill fabric lining.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.

Water seeping through the zipper

Ensure the waterproof zip cover is properly aligned. For heavy rain, consider using a waterproof spray on the backpack fabric and zipper area.

Straps are uncomfortable or digging in

Adjust the length of the shoulder straps and the position of the chest strap for a balanced and comfortable fit. Ensure the backpack is not overfilled, which can cause strain.

PU material shows minor scuffs

Minor scuffs on PU can sometimes be buffed out gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For deeper marks, a specialized PU cleaner might be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
