Troubleshooting
Pack feels unstable or bounces during activity
Adjust the sternum strap and hipbelt to ensure a snug, secure fit. Ensure items inside are packed close to your back and evenly distributed.
Hydration reservoir is difficult to insert
Ensure the reservoir is not overfilled. Unzip the external sleeve fully and slide the reservoir in gently. Check for any obstructions.
Strap adjustment is stiff
Gently work the straps back and forth. If persistent, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the webbing where it slides through buckles.
Water leaking from soft flask pocket
Ensure the soft flask cap is securely closed. Check the flask for any damage or cracks.
