FAQs
What is the capacity of the Simms Tributary Hip Pack 5L?
The pack has a 5-liter capacity, suitable for essential gear for a day trip.
Is the pack completely waterproof?
The pack offers improved water resistance due to its TPU and PU coatings, but it is not fully waterproof. For sensitive electronics, additional protection like a dry bag is recommended.
How should I clean the hip pack?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
Can I attach a fly patch to the pack?
Yes, the pack features an external Velcro patch specifically designed for attaching fly patches or other accessories.
What materials is the pack made from?
The pack is constructed from durable 630 Denier Oxford Nylon with a TPU-coated front and a PU-coated back.
Can I carry a water bottle in this pack?
Yes, the pack includes dual side-entry mesh pockets designed to hold water bottles or other compact items.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
Water resistance seems reduced
Ensure all zippers are fully closed. The water-resistant coating may degrade over time; consider using a fabric protectant spray suitable for nylon and TPU/PU coatings.
Straps are uncomfortable or slipping
Readjust the waist strap for a snug, secure fit. Ensure the buckle is properly latched. If the material has compressed over time, it may require replacement.
