FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the backpack when in use?

The backpack has a height of 45cm, a width of 30cm, and a depth of 19cm.

How much does the backpack weigh?

The backpack is made of lightweight polyester and is designed to be as light as possible. Specific weight is not provided, but it is significantly lighter than traditional backpacks.

Can this backpack be used as carry-on luggage?

With dimensions of 45cm x 30cm x 19cm and a 20L capacity, it generally fits within standard carry-on size restrictions for most airlines, but it's always best to check with your specific airline.

Is the backpack suitable for carrying a laptop?

Yes, you can carry a laptop, but there is no dedicated padded laptop compartment. We recommend using a separate laptop sleeve or ensuring your device is adequately protected.

How do I clean the backpack?

Wipe the backpack clean with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing, harsh detergents, and tumble drying to preserve the fabric and its water-repellent finish.

What is the 'Packaway' feature?

The 'Packaway' feature means the backpack can be folded down into a small, compact size, making it easy to store when not in use.

Is the backpack fully waterproof?

The backpack has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which helps protect contents from light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

Troubleshooting

Backpack won't fold compactly.

Ensure all items are removed from the backpack and that the fabric is completely dry before attempting to fold it. Smooth out any major creases before folding.

Water is seeping through the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for polyester fabrics. For heavy rain, consider using a waterproof inner bag for sensitive items.

Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable with heavy loads.

This backpack is designed for lighter loads. Distribute weight evenly and avoid overpacking. Consider a backpack with more padding if regularly carrying heavy items.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
