Troubleshooting
Pack feels unstable or shifts during activity
Readjust the forward-pull hip belt for a tighter fit. Ensure the load is balanced, with heavier items placed closer to your body. Utilize the bungee compression system to secure contents.
Water bottles don't fit securely
Ensure you are using standard 500ml bottles and that the retainer loops are properly secured around the bottle necks. Consider bottles with a slightly narrower profile.
Back discomfort or chafing
Ensure the pack is not overstuffed. Adjust the hip belt to sit correctly on your iliac crest. Check for any rough seams or labels inside the pack that might be causing irritation.
