Product Information
Full details
The Highlander Dublin 15L Backpack is a versatile, lightweight choice for adults and students seeking a reliable bag for everyday commuting, school, or short day hikes. Its primary strength lies in its compact yet surprisingly spacious design that easily fits A4 folders and hydration needs. While it is perfect for light day trips, potential users should note that its 15-liter capacity may feel restrictive for those needing to carry bulkier gear or equipment for overnight excursions.

FAQs
Does this bag fit a 15-inch laptop?
While the bag is tall enough to fit A4 folders, it lacks a dedicated padded laptop sleeve. A small laptop or tablet may fit in the main compartment, but it is not recommended without an additional protective sleeve.
Is the backpack waterproof?
The material features a weather-resistant PU coating which protects against light rain and moisture, but it is not fully submersible or waterproof in heavy downpours.
Can children use this backpack?
While it is a unisex adult-sized bag, it can be used by older children. For younger children, we recommend the Highlander Quest backpack, which is designed with smaller dimensions.
What is the weight capacity of the bag?
The bag is designed for day-to-day items. While there is no specific weight limit, we recommend keeping the load under 5kg to maintain the integrity of the straps and zippers over time.
How do I clean the mesh side pockets?
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to gently remove debris from the mesh holes. Avoid scrubbing aggressively to prevent fraying.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Check for fabric stuck in the zipper teeth and gently clear it. You can apply a small amount of clear candle wax to the teeth to lubricate them.
Shoulder straps sliding off
Ensure the straps are adjusted to the correct length so the padded back panel sits centered on your back; if they are too loose, the bag will pull away from your body.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight at only 350g

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Dublin backpack is straightforward: simply adjust the shoulder straps by pulling the tensioning buckles until the padded back panel rests comfortably against your spine. To ensure the longest life for your pack, avoid overloading the bag beyond its 15L capacity, as this puts unnecessary strain on the zipper stitching.
Care instructions are minimal: if the bag becomes dusty or dirty, spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can degrade the PU weather-resistant coating. If the bag becomes saturated, hang it in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to dry completely before storing.
