FAQs
Is this backpack water-resistant?
While the materials are durable, it is best to avoid heavy downpours to keep contents completely dry.
Can I fit a 13-inch laptop inside?
The bag is designed for smaller tech; a 13-inch laptop may not fit properly due to the slim width of the main compartment.
How do I verify the sustainable materials?
The product features Aware Tracer technology, which allows for verification of the sustainable materials used in production.
Is the shoulder strap reversible for left-handed use?
The strap design is optimized for standard carrying; please check the attachment points on your specific unit to see if it allows for side switching.
What is the best way to store the bag?
Store it in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth and gently clean with a soft brush; applying a small amount of silicone lubricant can also help.
Strap feels loose or slides during wear
Ensure the strap adjusters are fully clicked into place and that the webbing is not twisted within the buckle mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your backpack, loosen the shoulder strap to its full length before placing it over your shoulder, then pull the tension tab to tighten it until the bag sits firmly against your back. For cleaning, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging the bag in water or using harsh industrial chemicals. Store the bag in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the zippers and fabric. The design is compatible with standard everyday items such as tablets, water bottles, notebooks, and personal tech accessories.
