Troubleshooting
Pack feels uncomfortable or unstable during activity.
Ensure the hipbelt is snug and resting on your hips, and the shoulder straps are properly adjusted. Tighten load lifter straps to pull the pack closer to your body, distributing weight effectively. The continuous-wrap harness should feel like it's moving with you.
Difficulty organizing or fitting all necessary gear.
Utilize all available pockets: hipbelt for quick-access items, front panel for layers, and side stretch pockets for water bottles or extra gear. For specialized items, remember the Stow-on-the-Go for poles, the ice axe attachment, and LidLock for your helmet.
Gear inside the pack gets wet in rainy conditions.
The pack is made of nylon, which offers some water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure, use a separate rain cover (not included) to protect your gear. Consider using dry bags for sensitive items inside the pack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Adjust Torso Length (if applicable): Ensure the pack sits correctly on your hips, with the hipbelt padding centered. While the Tempest 22L is a fixed torso length, proper strap adjustment is key.
Fit the Hipbelt: Fasten the hipbelt snugly around your hips, ensuring most of the pack's weight rests on your pelvis.
Adjust Shoulder Straps: Pull the shoulder straps down and back until they feel snug but not restrictive. They should hug your shoulders without gapping.
Engage Sternum Strap: Fasten the sternum strap across your chest and adjust its height and tension for comfort. This helps distribute the load.
Utilize Load Lifters (if present): Small straps connecting the top of the shoulder straps to the pack body. Tighten these to pull the pack closer to your body, enhancing stability.
Compatibility
Hydration Reservoir: The pack is compatible with a hydration reservoir (sold separately) for on-the-go hydration.
Trekking Poles: Stow-on-the-Go attachment allows for convenient carrying.
Ice Axe: Tuck-away attachment with bungee tie-off secures a single ice axe.
Bike Helmets: LidLock attachment provides a secure external carrying option.
Care
Cleaning: Hand wash with a mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush.
Drying: Hang the pack to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not use a machine dryer.
Storage: Store your pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure it is empty and clean.
Maintenance: Regularly check zippers, buckles, and straps for wear and tear. Repair minor issues promptly to prolong the pack's life.
