Is this backpack waterproof?
The backpack features a durable water-repellent finish to repel light moisture and includes a detachable rain cover for comprehensive protection against heavy rain.

How do I clean my Regatta Highton V2 Backpack?

What are the dimensions and weight of the backpack?

How do I ensure a comfortable fit with a loaded backpack?
Adjust the padded shoulder straps, Air Mesh hip belt, and sternum strap to distribute weight evenly. The hip belt should carry most of the load, with the shoulder straps stabilizing the top of the pack. The Stream Air back system is designed for comfortable contact.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes, the Regatta Highton V2 65L Backpack comes with a 1-year guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Backpack feels uncomfortable or unstable during wear.
Adjust the padded Air Mesh hip belt, shoulder straps, and sternum strap to properly distribute weight and secure the pack against your body. Ensure the metal frame support of the Stream Air system sits correctly on your back. Heaviest items should be packed close to your back and centered.
Contents get wet despite the water-repellent finish.
The durable water-repellent finish repels light moisture. In heavy rain, ensure the detachable rain cover is properly deployed and secured over the entire pack. Check that the DWR finish hasn't worn off and consider re-treating if needed.
Difficulty fitting all gear for a week-long trip, or pack feels too bulky.
Strategically utilize the full 65-liter capacity, packing dense items efficiently. For bulky items or to compress the load, use the side compression straps to cinch down and stabilize the pack's contents, making it more compact and balanced.
Hydration tube is not easily accessible or secure.
Ensure your hydration bladder (sold separately) is correctly placed in the internal hydration pocket. Route the drinking tube through the designated opening and secure it using the drinking tube retainer on the shoulder strap for easy access.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Regatta Highton V2 65L Backpack, proper setup, understanding its compatibility, and regular care are essential.
Initial Setup & Adjustment
- Load Distribution: Before adjusting, pack your backpack. Place heavier items close to your back and centered to maintain stability. Lighter, bulkier items can go further from your back or in the bottom.
- Loosen All Straps: Begin by loosening all shoulder, sternum, hip belt, and compression straps.
- Hip Belt First: Fasten the padded Air Mesh hip belt so it sits comfortably over your hip bones. Tighten it securely, but not uncomfortably, to bear most of the pack's weight.
- Shoulder Straps: Gently pull the padded shoulder straps until they are snug, ensuring the pack is close to your back. They should not bear excessive weight but rather stabilize the top of the pack.
- Sternum Strap: Fasten the adjustable sternum strap across your chest. Adjust its height and tension to comfortably secure the shoulder straps and prevent them from sliding off.
- Compression Straps: Use the side compression straps to cinch down the contents of your pack, reducing sway and keeping your load compact.
Compatibility
- Hydration Bladders: The backpack is compatible with most standard hydration bladders thanks to its internal hydration pocket and drinking tube retainer. Bladders are sold separately.
- External Gear: While not explicitly stated, the side compression straps can often be used to attach items like trekking poles or sleeping pads externally.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, spot clean the backpack with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive materials. Air dry the backpack completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron.
- Water Repellency: The backpack features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. Over time, this finish may wear off. You can restore it using DWR-restoring sprays or wash-in treatments designed for outdoor gear.
- Rain Cover: Ensure the detachable rain cover is clean and dry before storing it. Store it separately or in its designated pocket.
- Storage: When not in use, store your backpack in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. Ensure it is empty and clean to prevent mold or mildew growth. Avoid storing it compressed for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the frame and padding.
