Product Information
Full details
The Columbia Trail Traveler™ III 28L Backpack is an ideal companion for active adults who transition frequently between urban office environments and rugged outdoor trails. It excels at keeping daily essentials organized and protected against light precipitation thanks to its moisture-repellent fabric, though users should note it is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, meaning it will not withstand heavy downpours or submersion.

FAQs
Is the Columbia Trail Traveler™ III waterproof?
It is water-resistant, not waterproof. It features Omni-Shield™ technology to repel light rain and splashes, but it is not designed to withstand heavy rain or submersion.
Will my 15-inch laptop fit in the compartment?
Yes, the backpack is specifically designed to accommodate a 15-inch laptop in the dedicated internal compartment.
Can I wash this backpack in a washing machine?
No, it is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth only. Machine washing can strip the protective finish and damage the foam padding.
What is the capacity of this backpack?
The Columbia Trail Traveler™ III has a total capacity of 28 liters.
Does it have a chest strap?
Yes, it features adjustable shoulder and chest straps to help distribute weight comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Zippers are sticking or becoming hard to pull
Clear any fabric or debris from the zipper track. If it remains stiff, lightly rub a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to act as a lubricant.
Omni-Shield™ repellency seems less effective
The repellent finish can wear down over time. Ensure the pack is clean, as dirt buildup can clog the fabric pores; a gentle rinse can sometimes restore performance.
