The bag is primarily made from 60% polyamide and 40% other materials, featuring a durable water-repellent finish.

How much does the bag weigh?

What kind of items can fit inside the main compartment?
The main compartment can hold essentials like a wallet, a small notebook, a phone, and a compact umbrella. It also includes specific pockets for organization.
How should I clean the bag?
Clean the bag with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents and do not machine wash or tumble dry. Air dry away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth until smooth.
Strap adjustment is difficult
Ensure the strap material is not twisted. Sometimes slightly loosening the strap before adjusting the buckle can help. Check for any debris caught in the adjuster.
Water-repellent finish is wearing off
Consider reapplying a fabric-specific water-repellent spray designed for nylon or synthetic materials. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
Bag shape appears flat
Gently stuff the bag with soft items (like scarves or paper) and let it sit for a few hours to help it regain its intended shape.
