Troubleshooting

Check for obstructions such as loose paper or small items trapped between the magnet and the fabric flap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Roam Rucksack, adjust the shoulder straps first while wearing the pack, then secure the sternum strap to position the load closer to your center of gravity. For long-term care, clean the nylon exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing as this may damage the internal foam board and the structural integrity of the padded laptop sleeve. Ensure that the laptop compartment is always zipped closed to protect your device from rain and debris. Periodically check the magnetic front pocket to ensure no small debris has collected in the closure mechanism.
