FAQs
What is the main benefit of the AirMesh padding?
The AirMesh padding on the back system and shoulder straps provides enhanced breathability and cushioning, leading to greater comfort during long periods of wear by reducing heat buildup and pressure points.
Is this pack suitable for overnight trips?
With an 18-liter capacity, this pack is primarily designed for day hikes. It may be too small for overnight trips unless you are packing extremely light and minimalist.
How do I clean the Eurohike Ratio 18 Daypack?
Hand wash the pack using mild soap and cool water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.
Can I attach extra gear to the outside of the pack?
The pack features side webbing compression straps which can be used to secure items like a tent pole or a small sleeping mat. However, it does not have extensive external attachment points for larger gear.
What does 'Hydration compatible' mean?
It means the pack has an internal sleeve or compartment designed to hold a hydration reservoir (sold separately) and a port to guide the drinking tube over your shoulder, allowing you to drink on the move.
What is the pack made from?
The pack is made from 100% Certified Recycled fabrics, specifically RPET / 600D polyester with a PU coating for the main body and lining.
Is there a waist strap for better weight distribution?
Yes, the pack includes a webbing waist belt designed to help distribute weight comfortably and stabilize the pack during activity.
Troubleshooting
Pack feels uncomfortable or shifts during activity
Ensure all straps (shoulder, waist, sternum) are adjusted correctly. Redistribute weight inside the pack, placing heavier items closer to your back.
Water bottle slips out of side pocket
Utilize the side webbing compression straps to cinch the bottle more securely. Ensure the bottle is not excessively tall or narrow for the pocket.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Material shows signs of wear after a few uses
Inspect for snags or abrasion points. Avoid dragging the pack on rough surfaces and ensure it is not overstuffed, which can stress seams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
