FAQs

What size laptop can this backpack hold?

This backpack features a floating sleeve designed to securely fit laptops up to 13 inches or 14 inches.

Is the backpack waterproof?

The backpack is made from 600D polyester, which offers good water resistance, protecting against light rain or splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged or exposed to heavy downpours for extended periods.

How do I clean my Herschel Classic Backpack?

For best results, spot clean your backpack using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or bleach it. Air dry completely if it gets wet.

What does 'EcoSystem™ Fabrics' mean?

EcoSystem™ Fabrics indicate that the backpack's material (600D polyester and the tonal stripe liner) is made from 100% recycled post-consumer water bottles, highlighting the brand's commitment to sustainability.

Can I use this backpack for travel?

While versatile for daily use, its capacity is best suited for light travel or as a personal item for flights. For longer trips requiring more gear, you might consider a larger backpack.

What are the dimensions of this backpack?

The dimensions of the Herschel Supply Co Classic Backpack are approximately 16.50 inches (H) x 12.00 inches (W) x 6.00 inches (D).

Troubleshooting

Laptop does not fit into the sleeve.

Verify your laptop's screen size. The sleeve is designed for 13-inch to 14-inch laptops. If your laptop is larger, it may not fit. Ensure no items are blocking the sleeve opening.

Zipper feels stiff or is sticking.

Check for any fabric or debris caught in the zipper teeth. Gently remove any obstructions. If still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray, wax, or even a pencil graphite) along the teeth and open/close the zipper several times.

Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or are slipping.

Adjust both shoulder straps evenly to ensure the backpack sits comfortably on your back, with the bottom of the pack resting just above your hips. Make sure the load inside is distributed evenly to prevent one side from pulling more than the other.

Water bottle keeps falling out of the side pocket.

Ensure the bottle is appropriately sized for the pocket. If using a very narrow bottle, consider a wider bottle or one with a more secure shape. The pocket is designed to hold standard-sized water bottles securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sustainable Construction: Utilizes 100% recycled EcoSystem™ fabrics and liner, reducing environmental impact.
  • Practical Organization: Includes a dedicated 13"/14" laptop sleeve, a front pocket, and a water bottle pocket for daily essentials.
  • Comfortable to Carry: Adjustable, padded shoulder straps ensure comfort during extended wear.
  • Durable Material: Made from recycled 600D polyester, offering good resistance to daily wear and tear.
  • Versatile Design: Its classic aesthetic and practical features make it suitable for various daily activities from school to commutes.

Cons

  • Limited Laptop Size: The laptop sleeve is specifically designed for 13"/14" devices, which may not accommodate larger models.
  • Not Waterproof: While polyester offers some water resistance, the backpack is not explicitly marketed as waterproof, so protection in heavy rain is not guaranteed.
  • Single Main Compartment: Primarily features one large main compartment, which might require additional organizational pouches for some users' needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Herschel Supply Co Classic Backpack requires minimal setup. Simply unpack, adjust the padded shoulder straps to your comfort, and you're ready to go. Ensure the straps are adjusted to distribute weight evenly across your shoulders for optimal comfort.

Compatibility

  • Laptop: Designed to fit laptops with screen sizes up to 13 inches or 14 inches in its dedicated floating sleeve.
  • User: Suitable for adult users given its dimensions and design.
  • Use Case: Ideal for daily commutes, school, university, light travel, and everyday excursions.

Care

To maintain the longevity and appearance of your backpack, follow these care instructions:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains or dirt, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Gently rub the affected area.
  2. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or bleach the backpack, as this can damage the material and structural integrity.
  3. Air Dry: If the backpack gets wet, air dry it completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat.
  4. Zipper Maintenance: Keep zippers clear of debris. If a zipper becomes stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like silicone spray or wax) can help restore smooth operation.
  5. Storage: When not in use, store your backpack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
