Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to open or close.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of wax or a zipper lubricant to the teeth and try again. Clean any debris from the zipper track.
Bag does not hold its shape when empty.
This is normal for a duffel bag. The Base Camp Duffel is designed to be filled; its shape is maintained best when packed.
Shoulder strap detaches unexpectedly.
Ensure the strap is securely clipped onto the D-rings at both ends. Check for any damage to the clips or D-rings. If damaged, contact customer support.
Water seeps through seams during heavy rain.
The bag is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. For extreme conditions, consider using internal dry bags for critical items. Ensure the D-zip flap is correctly positioned over the zipper.
