FAQs
What is the capacity of the Highlander Melrose Backpack?
The backpack has a capacity of 25 litres.
What material is the backpack made from?
It is made from 600D Polyester with a PVC coating.
Can this backpack be used as a carry-on for flights?
With dimensions of 17.7"x11"x7.8" (45x28x20cm), it is likely to meet most airline carry-on requirements, but it's always best to check with your specific airline.

Does the backpack have a dedicated laptop compartment?
The backpack features a large main compartment with an internal mesh pocket, but it does not have a dedicated, padded laptop compartment. A slim laptop or tablet may fit, but protection should be considered.
Is the backpack suitable for hiking?
While comfortable for short walks or urban exploration, its 25L capacity and design are more suited for daily use rather than extensive hiking trips.

Troubleshooting
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth and try again. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Straps feel uncomfortable or dig in.
Adjust the shoulder straps for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure the load is distributed evenly within the backpack. Check that the padding is correctly positioned.
Material shows signs of wear after moderate use.
Inspect the area for potential abrasion points. For minor scuffs, a gentle cleaning may help. Consider how the backpack is being used; excessive weight or rough handling can accelerate wear.
