What are the dimensions of the backpack?
The dimensions are 36 cm (height) x 28 cm (width) x 14 cm (depth).
Is the backpack waterproof?
The Pine Weave fabric is waxed and water-resistant, meaning it can withstand light rain. However, it is not fully waterproof.
Who is this backpack designed for?

Can I re-wax the backpack?
Yes, the Pine Weave fabric can be re-waxed periodically using a Fjällräven original wax or a similar product to maintain its water-repellent properties.
Troubleshooting
Backpack feels stiff initially.
This is normal for the Pine Weave fabric, which has a natural wax coating. The fabric will soften and become more pliable with use.
Water is seeping through the fabric.
The Pine Weave fabric is water-resistant, not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider using a waterproof cover or ensuring items inside are further protected. Re-waxing the fabric can improve water repellency.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. You can try cleaning the zipper teeth with a brush and applying a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant specifically designed for zippers.
Small marks or discoloration appear on the fabric.
This is a characteristic of the Pine Weave fabric and its natural melange effect. Minor marks can often be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air-dried.
