Troubleshooting

Straps won't stay adjusted

Ensure the buckle mechanisms are fully engaged. If straps continue to slip, check for wear and tear on the webbing and buckles.

Zipper is difficult to open or close

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Water bottle falls out of external pocket

Ensure the water bottle is of a standard size and placed securely. For added security, use the bungee cord system to cinch down items on the exterior.

Laptop sleeve feels too tight

Verify that the laptop is not exceeding the 15-inch size limit. Try removing any additional padding from the laptop if applicable.
