Product Information
Full details
The Herschel Little America™ Mid Backpack is designed for students and commuters who prioritize both style and functional organization in their daily carry. Its key benefit is the combination of a protected, fleece-lined laptop sleeve and intuitive storage pockets, making it an excellent companion for school or travel. A notable caveat is that the magnetic buckle straps may take a moment to secure compared to standard zippers, which is a trade-off for its classic aesthetic.

FAQs
Will a 16-inch laptop fit in this bag?
Yes, the laptop sleeve is designed to fit 15"/16" laptops, measuring 12.5" in height by 11" in width.
Is the backpack waterproof?
It is made from durable polyester, which is water-resistant, but it is not fully waterproof and should be covered in heavy downpours.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth rather than machine washing, as this helps preserve the structural integrity and the metal buckle hardware.
How do I secure the main compartment?
The main compartment features a drawcord closure, which is then covered by the top lid secured by magnetic buckle straps.
Are the water bottle pockets large enough for a Nalgene?
The side pockets are designed to be expandable to fit various sizes of water bottles, accommodating most standard athletic and reusable bottles.
Troubleshooting
Magnetic buckles are not staying closed.
Ensure the magnet area is clean of dust and debris; align the buckle pin directly with the magnet receiver for a secure lock.
Side entry zipper is sticking.
Check the internal liner to ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track, then apply a tiny amount of wax or graphite to the teeth if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your backpack, ensure that you adjust the EVA-padded shoulder straps to distribute weight evenly across your back. If you are using this for heavy loads, consider purchasing a sternum strap to improve stability. When cleaning the polyester material, avoid submerging the entire bag; instead, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area to prevent material degradation. Always ensure the laptop sleeve is clear of debris before inserting your device to avoid surface scratches.
