FAQs
Is the backpack waterproof?
It is made of durable polyester, which is water-resistant, but it is not fully waterproof and should be protected during heavy rain.
What size laptop fits in the internal sleeve?
The internal sleeve is designed to hold most standard laptops up to 15 inches comfortably.
Can I fit a large water bottle in the side pockets?
The mesh side pockets are flexible and can accommodate most standard water bottles, though very large or wide-base bottles may be a tight fit.
Is this machine washable?
We recommend hand washing or spot cleaning only to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the shape of the bag.
Does it have a chest strap?
No, this model does not feature a chest or sternum strap.
What is the total capacity of the bag?
The New Balance Classic Backpack has a total capacity of 22 litres.
Troubleshooting
Strap adjustment keeps slipping
Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the buckle teeth; if it continues to slip, check for debris caught in the adjustment mechanism.
Zippers feeling tight or sticking
Rub a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to help the slider move more smoothly.
General cleaning after heavy use
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust or dry mud before wiping down with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your backpack lasts, always adjust the shoulder straps while wearing the bag to find the optimal length for your torso; the bag should sit high on your back to distribute weight evenly. This bag is compatible with most standard-sized laptops up to 15 inches.
For care, spot-clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid submerging the bag in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the internal structure and padding. If the bag gets wet, air-dry it in a shaded area away from direct heat sources, which can warp the synthetic fabrics.
