Troubleshooting

Bag feels heavy when carried as a backpack.

Distribute weight evenly by organizing gear strategically. Consider using the trolley function for longer distances.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth. If persistent, apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track.

Telescopic handle is stuck.

Check for any obstructions in the handle mechanism. Ensure all locking buttons are fully released. Gently extend and retract the handle, applying even pressure.
