FAQs
What is the capacity of the backpack?
The backpack has a volume of 30 liters.
What are the dimensions of the backpack?
The dimensions are 60 x 30 x 20 cm (Height x Width x Depth).
Is the backpack suitable for a female user?
While designed with typical male dimensions in mind, the Vent Comfort Vario system allows for some adjustability. However, fit can be subjective, and it's recommended to try it on if possible.
What materials is the backpack made from?
It is constructed from Cordura® 500 den Eco fabric and 420 HD Nylon FD Eco.
Does the backpack come with a rain cover?
Yes, a rain cover is integrated into the lid compartment for easy access and protection from moisture.
What does 'PFC/PFAS-free DWR' mean?
It means the durable water-repellent finish on the fabric is free from perfluorinated and polyfluorinated chemicals, which are considered harmful to the environment and health.
Can I attach additional pouches or equipment to the backpack?
Yes, the backpack features extensive MOLLE loops on the sides and front, as well as numerous gear loops, allowing for significant customization and attachment of additional equipment.
Troubleshooting
Backpack feels uncomfortable or shifts during movement
Ensure the Vent Comfort Vario system is correctly adjusted for your torso length. Tighten shoulder straps, load control straps, and chest belt appropriately. The hip belt should rest on your iliac crest for proper weight distribution.
Water seeps through fabric during heavy rain
Check the DWR finish; it may need reapplication. Ensure the integrated rain cover is properly deployed and covering the entire pack. For extreme conditions, consider seam-sealing or using dry bags for critical items.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dirt or debris. Apply a zipper lubricant (like silicone spray or wax) to ensure smooth operation.
External gear is not securely attached
Ensure you are using the appropriate gear loops and MOLLE attachments. Tighten straps and bungee cords securely. Check that items are balanced to prevent shifting.
