Adjust Straps: Place the backpack on your back and adjust the shoulder straps for a snug, comfortable fit. The top of the shoulder straps should sit just below the top of your shoulders.

Usage: Ideal for everyday carry, commuting, school, light travel, and short outdoor excursions.
Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the DWR finish and materials.
DWR Maintenance: The non-PFC Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish helps shed water. Over time, this finish may wear off. To restore water repellency, you may use a DWR-restoring spray designed for outdoor gear (follow product instructions).
Drying: Air dry the backpack completely after cleaning or if it gets wet. Do not tumble dry or use direct heat, which can damage the fabric and DWR.
Storage: Store the backpack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
