Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a zipper lubricant or beeswax. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Back panel feels uncomfortable

Adjust the shoulder straps, sternum strap, and waist belt for a proper fit. Ensure the load inside the backpack is balanced.

Water-repellent finish seems reduced
