Troubleshooting
Straps not staying adjusted
Ensure the strap adjusters are fully engaged and clean. If slippage persists, contact customer support.
Water bottle compartment too small
The carrier is designed for a specific water bottle size. Ensure you are using a compatible bottle. Refer to product dimensions if unsure.
External bungee cords feel loose
Tighten the bungee cord toggles to secure external items. Check for any damage to the cord or attachment points.
Water pooling on the surface after rain
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Clean the surface and apply a DWR treatment according to its instructions.
