Are the shoulder straps adjustable?
Yes, the shoulder straps are fully adjustable to ensure a comfortable and secure fit for different body types.
How do I clean the Mandarin Orange color to prevent fading?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods when drying to help maintain color vibrancy. Never use bleach or harsh detergents.

Troubleshooting
Backpack feels uncomfortable
Adjust the shoulder straps, sternum strap, and hip belt for a balanced fit. Ensure the weight is distributed evenly within the backpack.
Zipper is difficult to open or close
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. You can also apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Water bottle falls out of the external pocket
Ensure the water bottle is of a standard size and shape. For smaller or oddly shaped bottles, consider using the side compression straps (if available on your model) to secure it better.
Reflective details are peeling
Avoid excessive scrubbing or machine washing. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to reapply; focus on maintaining the rest of the backpack's condition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
