Is the bag waterproof?
While constructed from durable, water-resistant materials, the bag is not fully waterproof. It is designed to protect contents from light rain and splashes, but prolonged immersion should be avoided.

Does the bag come with a water bottle?

How do I clean the bag?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and apply a wax-based lubricant or zipper cleaner. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Shoulder strap adjustment slips
Ensure the buckle is fully engaged and that the strap material is properly threaded through the buckle mechanism. Check for any damage to the strap or buckle.
MOLLE webbing seems too tight for attachments
MOLLE systems can be stiff initially. Push attachments firmly into place. Consider using a flat tool to help feed straps if necessary.
Bag feels unbalanced when carrying items
Distribute weight evenly between the main compartment and front pockets. Utilize the waist strap to help stabilize the load and transfer weight.
