Adjust the length of the shoulder straps to redistribute the load and ensure the backpack is positioned higher on the back.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, pull the shoulder straps until the backpack sits comfortably against the upper back, then secure the chest strap to prevent lateral movement. The mesh hip fins should be snug but not restrictive. For maintenance, clean the pack with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging the bag in a washing machine to preserve the integrity of the Airstripes foam. If you frequently ride in muddy environments, ensure the rain cover is air-dried completely before storing it back in its compartment to prevent mildew.
