Troubleshooting
Pack feels unstable or shifts during movement.
Ensure all straps (hipbelt, sternum strap, compression straps) are properly adjusted and tightened for a snug fit.
Hydration hose is difficult to route or remains kinked.
Verify the hose is correctly threaded through the shoulder strap port and ensure the reservoir is not overfilled, which can put pressure on the hose.
Water bottles don't fit securely in side pockets.
Use the upper side compression straps to cinch down larger bottles and prevent them from slipping out.
Zipper is stiff or catches.
Gently work the zipper back and forth. Clean any debris from the teeth and apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
