FAQs
Is this backpack waterproof?
It is water-repellent thanks to a DWR coating, meaning it will protect your gear from light rain or splashes, but it is not fully waterproof.
What is the maximum laptop size that fits in the sleeve?
The neoprene sleeve is designed to fit most standard laptops up to 15 inches, though bulky gaming laptops may be a tight fit.
Is the chest strap removable?
The chest strap is adjustable for comfort but is integrated into the harness system and is not designed to be removed.
Can I wash the bag in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the protective coatings and structural integrity. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
What kind of material is used in the bag?
The backpack is made from high-quality, durable polyester, incorporating recycled materials for a more sustainable design.
Troubleshooting
Zippers feel stiff or stuck
Clear any debris or fabric caught in the zipper teeth and ensure the alignment is straight when pulling.
Bag does not repel water as well as when new
Apply a spray-on DWR revitalizing treatment designed for synthetic fabrics to restore the water-repellent properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, pull on the shoulder straps after putting on the bag, then fasten and adjust the chest strap to prevent the load from shifting. Tighten the side compression straps once the bag is packed to stabilize the load center of gravity. For care, avoid machine washing as this may degrade the DWR coating. Instead, spot clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the bag gets soaked, air dry it in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Regularly check zippers and ensure the internal neoprene sleeve is kept free of sharp objects to prevent punctures.
