FAQs

What does the 8,000 mm water column rating mean?

An 8,000 mm water column rating indicates that the fabric can withstand 8,000 millimeters of water pressure before it starts to leak. This rating is generally suitable for protection against light rain and moderate precipitation.

Can I fit a 15-inch laptop in the bag?

The main compartment dimensions are 38 cm (height) x 50 cm (length) x 14 cm (depth). While the length and depth are generous, the height might be a limiting factor for some 15-inch laptops. It's recommended to measure your laptop and compare it with the bag's internal dimensions for a precise fit.

How do I clean the bag?

Clean the bag by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, machine washing, dry cleaning, bleaching, or ironing, as these can damage the waterproof coating and material.

Is the shoulder strap adjustable?

Yes, the bag features an adjustable webbing shoulder strap, allowing you to customize the length for comfortable, hands-free carrying.

What is the material of the bag?

The bag is made from 100% polyester with a polyurethane (PU) coating, providing its waterproof properties and soft-backed surface.

Can this bag be used for heavy rain?

The bag is rated for light rain protection. For extremely heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, it is advisable to use an additional waterproof inner bag for sensitive items.

Troubleshooting

Bag seams appear to be leaking water.

Ensure the PU coating is intact. For minor leaks, consider a seam sealer designed for waterproof fabrics. Re-check the water column rating (8,000 mm) which is for light rain protection.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper, which can cause damage.

Bag feels damp inside after exposure to rain.

While the bag offers waterproof protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion may allow some moisture ingress. Ensure the main zipper is fully closed. Wipe the bag dry with a cloth and allow it to air dry completely. For extremely wet conditions, consider using a separate dry bag for sensitive items inside.
