FAQs
What is the total capacity of the Herschel Little America backpack?
The Herschel Little America backpack has a total volume of 30 liters.
What material is the backpack made from?
The backpack is primarily made from EcoSystem 600D fabric and a tonal stripe liner, both crafted from 100% recycled polyester derived from post-consumer water bottles.
What size laptop can fit in the padded sleeve?
The padded and fleece-lined floating sleeve is designed to comfortably fit most 15" to 16" laptops.
How do I clean the backpack?
It is recommended to spot clean the backpack with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or dry cleaning.
Does the backpack have a sternum strap?
The backpack is compatible with a sternum strap for added support, but it may need to be purchased separately depending on the specific package.
What types of pockets are included?
The backpack features a zippered front pocket, dual expandable water bottle pockets, a top lid pocket with a key clip, and an internal tablet pocket within the laptop sleeve.
Is the backpack waterproof?
The backpack is constructed with water-resistant materials, but it is not fully waterproof. For protection in heavy rain, consider using a waterproof cover or protecting electronics inside.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper. Gently work the zipper back and forth to smooth its movement.
Straps feel uncomfortable or uneven
Adjust the EVA-padded shoulder straps to achieve a balanced and comfortable fit. Ensure the backpack is loaded evenly. Consider using the compatible sternum strap for better weight distribution.
Water bottle pocket does not hold bottles securely
Ensure the bottle is fully inserted and the elasticated side is snug around it. For wider bottles, the expandable feature should accommodate them, but very large bottles may still be less secure.
Laptop feels loose in the sleeve
The sleeve is designed to be a 'floating' sleeve for protection. If your laptop feels too small, consider using a slim laptop sleeve or organizer within the main compartment for a snugger fit.
