FAQs
What is the maximum laptop size that fits in this bag?
The padded, fleece-lined sleeve is designed to accommodate laptops up to 15 or 16 inches.
Is the backpack waterproof?
The bag is constructed from 600D polyester, which is water-resistant, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Can I attach a sternum strap to this model?
Yes, this model features hardware compatibility to support the addition of a sternum strap for better weight distribution.
How do I access items quickly?
You can use the back entry zipper to reach items stored in the main compartment without having to open the top drawcord.
Are the water bottle pockets adjustable?
Yes, the side water bottle pockets are designed to be expandable to fit various bottle sizes securely.
How should I clean the interior lining?
The tonal stripe liner can be cleaned by turning the bag inside out and wiping it gently with a damp, soapy cloth, then allowing it to air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Laptop feels unstable in the sleeve
Ensure the laptop is placed squarely into the bottom of the padded floating sleeve to allow the protective cushioning to support it properly.
Difficulty closing the drawcord
Ensure no items are obstructing the pull-cord mechanism and pull the fabric evenly from both sides to ensure a smooth seal.
Dirt on the exterior fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust, then gently wipe with a damp cloth using cool water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Herschel Little America backpack, ensure the laptop sleeve is clear of debris before inserting your computer. The internal material is durable, but avoid overloading the bag with sharp objects that could pierce the lining. For cleaning, spot-clean the polyester exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the structure and protective padding. If you are using this for long commutes with heavy loads, consider adding a sternum strap to further secure the shoulder harness.
