Troubleshooting
Zippers are sticking or difficult to move
Clean the zipper tracks of any trapped debris or fabric and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite.
Backpack feels unbalanced on the body
Re-adjust the shoulder straps to be symmetrical and tighten the sternum strap to pull the load closer to your center of gravity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Borealis backpack lasts for years, follow these maintenance tips. Adjust the shoulder straps until the backpack sits high and close to your back; the sternum strap should be fastened across your chest to redistribute weight away from your shoulders.
For cleaning, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash or dry clean, as this can degrade the water-repellent finish and the padding materials. Ensure the zippers are kept free of grit by occasionally wiping them down. The pack is compatible with most laptops up to 15 inches, though it is recommended to measure your specific device dimensions against the internal compartment specs before packing.
