Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Sherpa, first loosen all straps and put the pack on. Use the SA back system to align the harness with your torso length, checking the indicator guide to ensure a correct fit. Tighten the hip belt first, as this carries the majority of the weight. For care, wipe the 250D fabric down with a damp cloth after use; do not machine wash or tumble dry as this can damage the protective coatings. Store the pack in a cool, dry, and dark place to prevent UV degradation of the materials. Ensure all zippers are closed completely to maintain the longevity of the teeth and tracks.
