Troubleshooting

Backpack feels uncomfortable or is causing pain.

Re-adjust the backsystem and hipbelt. Make sure the pack is properly loaded and the weight is distributed correctly. Ensure the pack fits your torso length.

AirCover doesn't seem waterproof.

Ensure the AirCover is fully deployed and properly secured over the pack. Check for any tears or damage to the cover. Ensure the closure is properly sealed.

Zippers are difficult to open or close.

Lubricate the zippers with a zipper lubricant or beeswax. Avoid overpacking the compartments, which can put stress on the zippers.

Pack feels unstable when walking.

Tighten the compression straps to stabilize the load. Ensure heavier items are packed closer to your back and towards the middle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Adjusting the Backsystem: To adjust the torso length, locate the Velcro panel behind the shoulder straps. Unstick the panel, slide the shoulder straps up or down to match your torso length, and reattach the Velcro.
  2. Fitting the Hipbelt: Ensure the hipbelt sits comfortably on your hips. Tighten the hipbelt straps to transfer the pack's weight to your hips.
  3. Loading the Pack: Pack heavier items closer to your back and towards the middle of the pack. Use the internal compression straps to secure the load.
  4. AirCover Usage: Deploy the AirCover when rain is expected or when checking the bag for flights. Ensure it's properly secured to protect the pack.
  5. Compatibility: The Farpoint Trek 75 is compatible with the Daylite series of packs. Attach these smaller packs to the main backpack for increased storage capacity.
  6. Cleaning: Clean your pack with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the fabric and coatings. Allow the pack to air dry completely before storing.
