FAQs

Can this backpack fit a 15-inch laptop?

No, the internal padded compartment is specifically designed for 13-inch laptops and smaller devices.

Is the backpack waterproof?

The bag is made of durable polyester which offers basic water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.

How do I clean the fleece-lined pocket?

Use a lint roller or a soft-bristled brush to remove any trapped debris inside the pocket. For stains, gently dab with a damp cloth.

What is the total capacity of the backpack?

The Caterpillar Ben II Protect has a total capacity of 24 liters.

Is the backpack unisex?

Yes, the design and adjustable shoulder straps are intended for both men and women.

Does it have a chest strap?

The standard configuration for this model relies on adjustable shoulder straps; it does not feature a dedicated sternum or chest strap.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is catching or difficult to pull

Check for fabric stuck in the teeth. If clear, lightly lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Internal carabiner feels stiff

Ensure no debris has entered the spring mechanism. Apply a tiny drop of sewing machine oil or silicone spray to the spring hinge to restore smooth motion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Caterpillar Ben II Protect Backpack, follow these guidelines:

Laptop Sizing: Ensure your device is 13 inches or smaller to utilize the protective padding effectively.
Security Setup: When walking through crowded areas, lock the main compartment zippers onto the internal metal carabiner for added security.
Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the exterior polyester fabric. Do not machine wash or submerge the bag, as this can degrade the internal structure and the EVA molded pocket.
Storage: When not in use, store the backpack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the polyester material and zippers.
