FAQs
Is the back protector suitable for all impacts?
The SAS-TEC back protector offers multi-impact protection, meaning it can withstand several impacts depending on their severity. However, for extreme impacts, professional medical advice should always be sought.
What size hydration system does it fit?
The backpack is compatible with 2-liter hydration systems, such as the Deuter Streamer 2.0.
Can I remove the back protector?
Yes, the SAS-TEC back protector is removable, allowing for easier cleaning of the backpack or use of the pack without the protector for casual activities.
How do I clean the backpack?
Hand wash the backpack with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
What is the main material of the backpack?
The backpack is primarily constructed from durable 600D PES Coat material with a TPU coating, offering high tear resistance and water repellency. It also uses 225D PES Ripstop in certain areas.
Does it have reflective elements for visibility?
While specific reflective elements are not explicitly listed, the "Arctic / Mandarin" colorway offers good visibility. Always ensure you are visible in low-light conditions.
What does 'TÜV/GS certified' mean?
TÜV/GS certification is a German mark indicating that the product has been tested and certified by TÜV Rheinland, ensuring it meets safety and quality standards.
Troubleshooting
Back protector feels stiff or uncomfortable
The SAS-TEC protector is designed to be firm for maximum protection. Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly to distribute weight evenly. The protector will become more flexible with use.
Pack shifts or bounces during riding
Re-adjust all straps, particularly the hip belt and chest strap. Ensure the hip belt is positioned correctly on your hip bones and tightened securely. The high-set hip fins are designed to prevent this.
Water is leaking from the hydration system
Check that the hydration reservoir and drinking tube connections are secure. Ensure the bite valve is properly closed when not in use. Inspect the reservoir for any punctures or damage.
Zippers are difficult to operate
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
