Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to open/close.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or beeswax to the teeth and work the zipper back and forth gently.

Bag does not feel balanced when worn.

Adjust the shoulder strap length and position the SP50 shoulder pad for optimal weight distribution. Ensure heavier items are positioned towards the back of the bag.

Laptop compartment feels too snug for device.

Verify your device's screen size does not exceed 14 inches and check its overall dimensions. The compartment is designed for slim laptops.
