Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The primary setup involves adjusting the shoulder straps. For optimal weight distribution, ensure both straps are pulled evenly, using the LEVELED™ system guides to achieve a balanced fit. Secure the sternum strap if applicable for added stability.
Compatibility: The backpack is designed to accommodate laptops up to 16" (e.g., MacBook Pro®) in its dedicated media compartment. The side pockets are sized to fit up to 32 oz water bottles. The overall dimensions (19.7"H x 11.6"W x 6.7"D, expandable to 8.3" width) generally meet most airline carry-on requirements, but it's always advisable to check with your specific airline.
Care: Clean the backpack using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the UA Storm coating. Allow the backpack to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. The fluorine-free water repellent treatment may diminish over time; consider reapplying a compatible treatment if water resistance lessens significantly.
