Product Information
Full details
The Kookaburra Apollo Rucksack is designed for hockey players who need a versatile bag that transitions seamlessly from the classroom or office to the pitch. It offers the key benefit of integrated stick-carrying capabilities without sacrificing storage for daily essentials, making it an excellent all-in-one solution for students or commuters who play sports. One caveat to note is that while it is highly functional for a single hockey stick, the slim profile may be tight if you are carrying bulky additional sports gear alongside a full-sized laptop.

FAQs
Does the Apollo Rucksack hold more than one hockey stick?
The bag is specifically designed for one hockey stick. While you may be able to fit a second stick in the side mesh pocket temporarily, it is not designed to support multiple sticks securely.
What is the maximum laptop size that fits?
The internal sleeve is designed to accommodate standard laptops up to 15 inches comfortably.
Is the material waterproof?
The bag is water-resistant, meaning it will protect your gear during a light shower, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the laptop padding and the structural integrity of the base. We recommend hand-washing with a damp cloth.
Are the mesh pockets durable?
The mesh is designed for ventilation and lightweight items. Avoid putting heavy or sharp metal objects in the mesh pockets to prevent tearing.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder straps feel loose or slide off
Tighten the adjustment buckles on the underside of the straps and ensure the bag weight is evenly distributed.
Hockey stick feels unstable on the side
Check that the stick is centered within the fastener loops and pull the adjustment toggle tight against the shaft of the stick.
Laptop compartment feels tight
Ensure your laptop is pushed fully to the base of the sleeve and avoid overloading the main compartment directly behind the sleeve.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the rucksack, adjust the shoulder straps while the bag is on your back until the top of the pack sits just below your shoulder blades. When inserting your hockey stick, ensure the handle is tightened securely within the external fasteners to prevent it from swinging while you walk.
For care, wipe the outer fabric with a damp cloth to remove mud or pitch dust. Avoid submerging the bag in water due to the padded laptop sleeve. If the mesh pockets become clogged with grass or debris, shake the bag upside down or use a soft brush to gently clear the fibers.
