Under Armour Hustle Lite Backpack - Black / Racer Red - OSFM

No, the Under Armour Hustle Lite Backpack features UA Storm technology, which provides a highly water-resistant finish. This means it can withstand light rain and splashes, keeping your belongings dry in most conditions, but it is not designed to be submerged or used in heavy, prolonged downpours without additional waterproof protection for its contents.

The backpack has a volume of 26.5 liters, offering ample space for daily essentials such as books, clothing, gym gear, and a laptop.

No, it is not recommended to machine wash this backpack. Machine washing can damage the UA Storm water-resistant coating, the internal padding, and the overall structural integrity of the backpack. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then air dry.

The soft-lined laptop sleeve is designed to securely hold up to a 15-inch MacBook Pro or other laptops with similar dimensions.

With dimensions of 6.7"H x 18.5"W x 12.2"D, the Under Armour Hustle Lite Backpack typically meets standard carry-on size requirements for most airlines. However, it is always recommended to check with your specific airline's latest regulations before traveling.

This means the backpack's water resistance is achieved using treatments that do not contain fluorinated chemicals (PFCs/PFAS). These chemicals are often found in traditional durable water repellent (DWR) coatings but are known for their environmental persistence. A fluorine-free treatment is a more environmentally conscious choice.

While UA Storm technology provides a highly water-resistant finish, it is not fully waterproof. For heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to water, consider placing sensitive electronics and documents in additional waterproof pouches. Always ensure all zippers are fully closed and not left ajar.

Proper adjustment is key. Adjust both padded straps evenly to distribute the backpack's weight across your shoulders and back. The backpack should ride high on your back, not sagging below your waist. Avoid overloading the backpack beyond its intended 26.5-liter capacity.

The soft-lined laptop sleeve is specifically designed for up to a 15-inch MacBook Pro or laptops with similar dimensions. If your laptop is larger, thicker, or an older model, it may not fit optimally. Please check your laptop's exact dimensions against the backpack's specifications.

Gently clean the zippers with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, dust, or grit that may have accumulated. For persistent stiffness, a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., wax or a silicone-based spray) can be applied cautiously to the zipper teeth.
