Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to open or close
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the zipper teeth for smoother operation. Check for any debris that might be obstructing the track.
Water resistance seems reduced
Inspect the fabric for any tears or damage. Ensure all zippers and seams are properly sealed. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the exterior fabric following product instructions.
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable
Adjust the straps to find the optimal ergonomic fit. Ensure the bag is not overpacked, which can add excessive weight. The straps are designed for utilitarian carry and may not provide the same comfort as dedicated hiking backpacks for long-duration wear.
Bag shape is distorted
Use the compression straps to secure and shape the load. Avoid overstuffing beyond the bag's intended capacity, which can permanently deform the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Base Camp Duffel M requires minimal setup. Detach and adjust the shoulder straps as needed for backpack or shoulder carry. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before transport.
Compatibility: This duffel is compatible with most standard luggage handling systems. Its volume makes it suitable for checked baggage on flights, though users should always verify airline restrictions.
Care: Clean the duffel by wiping it with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the water-resistant coating and material integrity. Store the bag in its mesh packaging or a clean, dry place when not in use to maintain its condition.
