The Kipling Jet 18 is engineered for young explorers heading out on day hikes, nature walks, or even to school. Its ventilated AirScape backpanel ensures that even on warmer days or during energetic activities, air can circulate, keeping your child's back cooler and more comfortable. The wide, easy-access opening makes it simple for children to pack their own lunch, snacks, a light jacket, or their favorite toy without struggling.
The exterior stretch mesh pockets are perfect for stashing items that need to be accessed quickly, like a water bottle, sunblock, or found 'treasures' from the trail. The external reservoir sleeve and hose clip mean a hydration reservoir can be added for hands-free drinking, a crucial feature for keeping kids hydrated during active play. The adjustable sternum strap not only helps stabilize the load but also features a safety whistle, providing peace of mind during outdoor adventures. This pack encourages children to take responsibility for their own gear, fostering independence and a love for the outdoors.
Adjust Shoulder Straps: Place the pack on your child's back. Tighten or loosen the shoulder straps until the pack sits comfortably and securely, with the weight distributed evenly.
Fasten Sternum Strap: Buckle the sternum strap across the chest. Adjust its position up or down the shoulder straps for optimal comfort, then tighten it lightly. Ensure it's not too tight to restrict breathing.
Load Evenly: Distribute weight inside the main compartment with heavier items closer to the backpanel to maintain balance.
Age Group: Designed for kids/young adventurers.
Hydration: Compatible with most standard hydration reservoirs (not included).
Cleaning: Spot clean your Kipling Jet 18 with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the fabric and coatings.
Drying: Allow the pack to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not use a dryer or expose to direct heat.
Storage: Store the backpack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
