FAQs

What is the best way to clean the backpack?

Spot clean with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Do not machine wash or dry.

Can I use a hydration bladder with the Kyte 48?

Yes, the backpack is hydration compatible and includes an internal sleeve for a hydration reservoir (sold separately).

What is the raincover made of?

The raincover is made from bluesign approved fabrics and treated with DWR (durable water repellent).

How do I adjust the torso length?

Locate the adjustment system on the back panel and loosen the straps. Adjust the shoulder harness up or down until it matches your back length. Ensure the load lifters are at a 45-degree angle.

Where can I store my trekking poles?

The backpack has a Stow-on-the-Go Pole Holder for quick and easy storage of trekking poles while you hike.

What is the weight of the backpack?

The weight of the Kyte 48 is 1.9 kg.

Troubleshooting

Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or dig in.

Adjust the shoulder straps and torso length to ensure a proper fit. Make sure the pack is not overloaded.

Hipbelt doesn't fit properly or feels too tight.

Ensure the hipbelt is correctly positioned on your hips. Adjust the hipbelt straps for a snug fit, but not too tight that it restricts movement.

Pack feels unstable or shifts weight.

Repack the bag, ensuring heavier items are placed closer to your back and centered in the pack. Tighten all compression straps to stabilize the load.
