Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Kiwi Classic 22L Backpack is a reliable, versatile solution designed for daily commuters, students, and frequent travelers who need a secure and organized carry. Its core strength lies in its blend of protective technology, such as the RFID-blocking pocket and water-repellent finish, making it highly effective for protecting tech and personal belongings in unpredictable urban or travel environments. While it excels at organized storage for smaller loads, users who require a high-capacity bag for multi-day camping or heavy equipment may find the 22L limit restrictive.

FAQs
Is the backpack waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it will protect your gear against light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof for submersion or extreme storm conditions.
Will my 15-inch laptop fit?
The laptop compartment is designed to fit standard sizes, but always double-check your laptop's dimensions against the internal compartment capacity to ensure a snug fit.
What is the RFID blocking pocket?
It is a specialized interior pocket lined with shielding material that prevents signals from being read by unauthorized devices, keeping your credit cards and passport data secure.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the padding and the effectiveness of the water-repellent coating. Surface cleaning is recommended.
Is it suitable for school or university?
Yes, its durable polyester construction and dedicated tech storage make it an excellent choice for carrying books and laptops daily.
Does it have a chest strap?
The design focuses on ergonomic shoulder straps for comfort, but always refer to the physical item to confirm specific strap configurations.
Troubleshooting
The zippers feel stiff or difficult to close.
Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or rub a graphite pencil along the zipper teeth to improve movement.
Water appears to be soaking into the fabric during heavy rain.
The water-repellent finish is designed for light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, consider using a separate waterproof rain cover.
The backpack feels unbalanced when carried.
Ensure that heavier items are placed close to the back panel and distribute smaller items evenly between the internal pockets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Craghoppers Kiwi Classic 22L, follow these guidelines:
- Setup: Adjust the shoulder straps before loading the bag to ensure the weight sits high on your back, which prevents lower back strain.
- Compatibility: While the laptop sleeve is padded, it is always recommended to place your device in a slim protective sleeve inside the compartment for double-layered safety.
- Care and Cleaning: To maintain the water-repellent finish, avoid machine washing. Instead, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the backpack to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Over time, you may need to reapply a water-repellent spray if the beading effect begins to diminish.
