How do I clean the Transporter™ Duffel 65?

Troubleshooting
Harness feels uncomfortable or straps dig in.
Ensure the harness is properly adjusted. Distribute weight evenly inside the duffel, placing heavier items closer to your back. Adjust shoulder straps, sternum strap, and hip belt for a snug, balanced fit. The hip belt should bear most of the weight.
Main zipper is stiff or difficult to open/close.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm, soapy water to remove any dirt or grit. Once dry, apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant or wax to both sides of the zipper track. Operate the zipper a few times to work in the lubricant.
Items inside feel damp after exposure to rain.
While highly water-resistant, the duffel is not fully waterproof. Ensure the weather-protected main compartment zip path's rain flap is correctly positioned over the zipper. For extremely sensitive items, consider using additional dry bags or waterproof stuff sacks inside the duffel for maximum protection.
Duffel has an odor after a trip.
Completely empty the duffel. Wipe the interior with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Ensure it is thoroughly air-dried in a well-ventilated area for several days, keeping all zippers open, before storing. Baking soda can also help absorb odors.
Fabric appears soiled or stained.
Spot clean the exterior using a soft brush or sponge with mild soap and lukewarm water. For stubborn stains, a gentle fabric cleaner designed for technical materials may be used. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely.
