Does the bag have a rigid frame?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Ensure the zipper track is free of debris. Apply a small amount of beeswax or a zipper lubricant to the teeth. Check for any fabric caught in the zipper.
Bag appears to be leaking water.
Verify that all zippers are fully closed and locked if applicable. Inspect seams for any damage and ensure the main zip is properly sealed. Reapply water repellent treatment if necessary.
Shoulder straps are uncomfortable or slipping.
Adjust the length of the shoulder straps for a snug fit. Ensure the T-Hook chest strap is correctly positioned and secured. Check that the load is evenly distributed within the bag.
Fabric has lost its water-repellent properties.
Clean the bag thoroughly according to care instructions. Apply a suitable non-fluorocarbon water repellent spray or treatment to the exterior fabric.
