FAQs
Is the Highlander Hauler 30L waterproof?
It is made of water-resistant tarpaulin and features waterproof zippers, meaning it provides excellent protection against rain and spray but is not intended to be submerged in water.
Can this bag be taken as carry-on luggage?
At 48 x 28 x 27cm, it fits within most standard airline carry-on size restrictions, though you should check with your specific carrier before flying.
Are the shoulder straps removable?
Yes, the rucksack-style straps are fully detachable, allowing you to convert the bag into a standard duffel.
Does it have a dedicated laptop sleeve?
No, it does not have a dedicated padded laptop sleeve; it is designed primarily for rugged outdoor gear.
What is the total weight of the bag when empty?
The bag weighs 1.3kg.
How do I secure the zippers?
The zippers are lockable, meaning you can slide a small travel padlock through the zipper pulls to secure the main compartment.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable under heavy load
Adjust the length of the straps and ensure the internal gear is balanced using the compression straps to distribute weight evenly.
Zippers are difficult to pull
Since the zippers are waterproof, they may feel firmer; apply a light silicone-based zipper lubricant if the action remains stiff after regular use.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the bag, attach the shoulder straps to the designated D-rings if you prefer backpack-style carrying, or store them in the mesh pockets when not in use. The zippers are robust; ensure they are fully closed to engage the water-resistant seal. For maintenance, wipe the tarpaulin surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, as these can compromise the water-resistant coating. Always ensure the bag is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated area to prevent mold growth on the fabric lining.
