FAQs
Does the backpack come with a lock for the laptop compartment?
No, the compartment is lockable, meaning it features zipper pulls that accommodate a standard luggage padlock, but the padlock itself must be purchased separately.
Is the material waterproof?
The material is made from durable recycled PET, which is water-resistant, but it is not fully waterproof. We recommend using a rain cover if caught in heavy downpours.
Can I use this for a 17-inch laptop?
No, this backpack is strictly designed for devices between 13 and 15.6 inches. A 17-inch laptop will likely not fit into the dedicated protection sleeve.
How many plastic bottles are used in the manufacturing of this bag?
The main material of the Backpack Scale is manufactured using 13 recycled PET bottles.
What is the weight capacity of the bag?
While there is no specific weight limit, the bag is designed for a 19.5-liter volume. Overloading beyond standard laptop and accessory weight may put unnecessary strain on the shoulder straps.
Troubleshooting
Laptop compartment zipper is sticking
Ensure no fabric or interior straps are caught in the zipper track. If it continues to stick, rub the teeth with a graphite pencil to lubricate them.
Strap adjusters slipping during wear
Ensure the webbing is fed through the buckle correctly. If the bag is overloaded, redistribute the weight to reduce tension on the straps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Dicota Scale backpack, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting your device: Always slide your laptop into the rear compartment and fasten the elastic strap to prevent shifting during movement.
- Cleaning: As the exterior is made of 600D recycled PET, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the bag in water to protect the internal HDF padding.
- Storage: When not in use, store in a dry, cool environment. Keep the zippers free of debris by occasionally wiping the tracks with a dry brush.
- Compatibility: This bag is officially rated for laptops from 13 to 15.6 inches. While smaller tablets fit in the front or interior pockets, refrain from forcing larger devices into the dedicated tablet sleeve to avoid tearing the inner lining.
