FAQs
What is the primary material of the bag?
The bag is constructed from black ballistic nylon, known for its durability and resistance to abrasion.

Is the shoulder strap adjustable?
Yes, the deluxe comfort shoulder strap is adjustable to provide a comfortable fit for different users.
How do I clean the hi-vis yellow interior?
The interior can be cleaned by gently wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking or using harsh detergents.
What is the purpose of the removable trolley?
The removable trolley allows you to attach the bag to rolling luggage, providing an alternative and less strenuous way to transport it, especially through airports or long distances.
Does the bag offer weatherproofing?
The bag features weather flaps over the zippers and is made from durable ballistic nylon, offering protection against light rain and dust. It is not fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to open or close.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax to the teeth and try again. Check for bent teeth.
Dividers are not holding position.
Ensure the Velcro edges of the dividers are firmly pressed against the interior Velcro strips of the bag. Make sure the dividers are correctly oriented and fully seated.
Trolley attachment feels loose.
Ensure the trolley is properly secured to the designated attachment points on the bag. Check for any obstructions that might prevent a secure fit.
Laptop compartment seems too tight for my 17" laptop.
While designed for 17" laptops, extremely thick models or those with large external batteries may be a tight fit. Try removing some padding or adjusting the laptop's position within the compartment.
