FAQs
Is the Osprey Quasar waterproof?
The pack is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain, but it is not fully waterproof. We recommend using a pack cover during heavy downpours.
Will this fit a 15-inch laptop?
Yes, the dedicated padded sleeve is designed to accommodate most standard 15-inch laptops.
Can I wash the bag in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the internal structure and protective fabric coatings. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Does it have a hydration reservoir sleeve?
While it features internal organization for daily gear, it is primarily optimized for laptop and office storage rather than technical hydration reservoirs.
Is this backpack suitable for air travel?
Yes, the compact design fits under most airline seats and conforms to standard carry-on requirements.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or uneven
Loosen both straps completely and readjust them while the pack is on your back to ensure they are at equal lengths.
Laptop feels unstable in the sleeve
Ensure the laptop is placed all the way to the bottom of the sleeve and that the internal compression straps (if applicable) are tightened.
Accumulated dirt on the exterior
Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap; allow to air dry completely in the shade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Quasar, follow these best practices:
- Fitting: Adjust the load lifters and shoulder straps while the bag is lightly weighted to find your preferred tension.
- Loading: Place heavier items closer to the back panel to maintain a lower center of gravity.
- Cleaning: Use a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush to spot-clean soiled areas; avoid machine washing or drying, as these can damage the protective coating on the fabric.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation over time.
