Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to open/close
Gently pull the zipper while wiggling it. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Strap adjustment is difficult
Ensure the strap webbing is not twisted. Try loosening the strap completely and then re-tightening it. Check for any debris caught in the buckle.
Backpack appears misshapen after washing
Ensure the backpack is stuffed loosely with a towel or pillow while air drying to help it retain its shape. Avoid machine drying.
Fading of color
To minimize fading, wash in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying or in storage.
