Troubleshooting
Backpack feels uncomfortable or unbalanced
Re-adjust the hip belt, shoulder straps, and Dyno-Lift straps. Ensure the load is packed evenly and that heavier items are closer to your back.
Straps are difficult to adjust
Ensure all buckles are fully released before attempting to adjust. Check for any obstructions or dirt in the strap adjustment mechanisms.
