FAQs
Is this bag waterproof?
While the material is durable and water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof or submersible.
Can it fit a 15-inch laptop?
The laptop sleeve is designed to accommodate most standard-sized laptops, but it is recommended to verify your specific device dimensions against the bag's sleeve specifications.

The Borealis Tote features an open-top design for quick access; please check the specific configuration to ensure it meets your security preferences.
How do I adjust the carry straps?
The straps are designed for a fixed, comfortable drop height; they are not adjustable like traditional backpack straps.
Is this bag suitable for travel?

Troubleshooting
Bungee cords become loose over time
Adjust the toggle mechanism to retighten the elastic cord and ensure items are securely gripped.
Exterior fabric marks or dirt
Use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap to gently spot-clean the affected area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Borealis Tote in peak condition, ensure your laptop is placed correctly in the padded sleeve to maximize protection. For daily maintenance, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust or light grime. If the bag becomes heavily soiled, avoid machine washing as this can damage the structural integrity of the fabric and hardware; instead, hand wash using a mild detergent and hang it to air dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight. To ensure longevity, avoid overloading the bag beyond its structural capacity to prevent stress on the shoulder straps.
