FAQs
Is the Kipling City Pack S Backpack fully waterproof?
The backpack features a water-repellent finish, which means it can protect your belongings from light rain and splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water or exposed to heavy downpours for extended periods.
Can I fit a laptop or tablet in this backpack?
Given its compact size (13L volume) and dimensions (33.5cm H x 27cm W x 19cm D), this backpack is generally not suitable for most standard laptops. It may fit smaller tablets or e-readers, but it does not have a dedicated padded sleeve for such devices.
How do I clean my Kipling City Pack S Backpack?
For general cleaning, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a small amount of mild soap and then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow it to air dry. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or use harsh cleaning agents.
What material is the backpack made from?
The Kipling City Pack S Backpack is made from lightweight and durable polyester, known for its resilience and water-repellent properties.
What is the capacity of this backpack?
The backpack has a volume capacity of 13 liters, making it ideal for carrying daily essentials rather than large or bulky items.
Are the side pockets suitable for water bottles?
Yes, the two side pockets with magnetic stud fastening are designed to hold items like small water bottles, compact umbrellas, or other quick-access essentials.
Is the Kipling monkey charm removable?
Yes, the iconic Kipling robot monkey charm is typically attached with a keyring or clip, allowing you to easily remove it if desired.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or slip
Adjust both shoulder straps evenly to distribute weight across your back and shoulders. Ensure the backpack sits high enough on your back. If wearing a heavy load, rearrange contents to balance weight.
Zippers are sticking or difficult to close
Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Carefully pull the fabric away. If not, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a graphite pencil) along the teeth to help it move smoothly.
Water-repellent finish seems less effective
The water-repellent coating can wear down over time with heavy use or cleaning. Ensure you are cleaning it gently with mild soap. For continued protection, consider using a fabric-safe water-repellent spray designed for outdoor gear, following product instructions carefully.
Backpack appears dirty or stained
Spot clean the affected area immediately with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Gently rub the area and then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing harshly or using strong chemicals.
Magnetic stud on side pocket doesn't fasten securely
Ensure that the two parts of the magnetic stud are properly aligned when closing. If the pocket is overfilled, it might prevent the stud from connecting. Remove some items to allow for a proper closure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Kipling City Pack S is straightforward:
- Adjust Straps: Unpack the backpack and place it on your back. Use the adjustable buckles on the shoulder straps to lengthen or shorten them until the backpack rests comfortably on your shoulders and against your back. Ensure an even weight distribution.
- Familiarize with Pockets: Before loading, take a moment to understand the layout of the various pockets (front, back, side, and internal compartments) to plan your organization effectively.
Compatibility
This backpack is designed for carrying everyday essentials and smaller personal items. Its 13L volume is compatible with:
- Mobile phones, wallets, keys
- Small books, notebooks, or e-readers
- Compact cameras or small electronic devices
- Water bottles or small umbrellas in side pockets
- Light snacks, sunglasses, and personal care items
It is not recommended for large laptops, multiple heavy textbooks, or extensive camping gear due to its compact size.
Care
To ensure your Kipling City Pack S remains in excellent condition:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials that could damage the water-repellent finish. Let it air dry completely.
- Stain Removal: For small stains, gently spot clean immediately. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store the backpack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve its material and color.
- Zippers & Fastenings: Periodically check zippers and magnetic studs for smooth operation. If a zipper becomes stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant can help.
