Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this backpack waterproof?

It is made from water-repellent fabric, which protects against light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof or submersible.

What size laptop does it hold?

The laptop sleeve is designed to accommodate standard laptops up to 15-16 inches, though it is best to check your device dimensions against the bag's internal depth.

Can I wash it in a machine?

We recommend hand-cleaning only to prevent damage to the ripstop fabric and the protective water-repellent coating.

Is the material sustainable?

Yes, the backpack is constructed from recycled materials as part of the brand's commitment to reducing environmental impact.

Does it include a sternum strap?

The standard Surge design focuses on adjustable shoulder straps for stability, but always check the specific strap configuration upon receipt.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull

Check for fabric caught in the teeth or dust buildup; clean with a soft brush and consider a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

Bag feels unbalanced on back

Adjust the shoulder straps symmetrically and tighten the side compression straps to bring the load closer to your center of gravity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High storage capacity of 31L
  • Durable, recycled ripstop construction
  • Excellent internal organization options

  • Secure laptop storage compartment

Cons

  • Large physical footprint may feel bulky for some

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the backpack, first adjust the shoulder straps to ensure the bag sits high on your back, which optimizes weight distribution. Utilize the side compression straps to cinch the bag tight when carrying smaller loads.

Care Instructions:

  • Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent when necessary.
  • Avoid submerging the bag in water to preserve the integrity of the zippers and fabric coating.
  • Air dry in a shaded area; do not tumble dry or use heat.
  • Check zippers periodically for debris to maintain smooth operation.
