Is this backpack suitable for heavy loads?

Where is the detachable rain cover stored?

Troubleshooting
Backpack feels uncomfortable or unbalanced
Ensure all straps (shoulder, chest, hip) are adjusted correctly to distribute weight evenly. Tighten compression straps to stabilize the load.
Water is leaking from the hydration system
Check the seal of the hydration bladder and the connection to the drinking tube. Ensure the bite valve is closed properly. Verify the hydration system is correctly installed and not kinked.
Rain cover doesn't fit properly
Ensure the rain cover is oriented correctly and pulled taut over the backpack. The cover is designed to fit snugly to prevent water ingress.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zippers with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to help them slide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.
