Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this backpack completely waterproof?
The material is water-resistant, meaning it provides excellent protection against light rain and splashes, but it is not intended to be submerged in water or used in heavy, prolonged downpours.
Can it fit a 15.6-inch laptop?
While the sleeve is optimized for 15-inch devices, it may accommodate thinner 15.6-inch laptops, though it will be a snug fit.
Does it have a water bottle pocket?
No, this specific model does not feature external side pockets for water bottles.
How do I adjust the sternum strap?
The sternum strap can be slid up or down along the webbing rails on the shoulder straps to find the most comfortable position for your torso.
Is this bag suitable for air travel carry-on?
Yes, its dimensions (45cm x 32cm x 15cm) generally comply with the standard carry-on size requirements for most major airlines.
What is the best way to store the backpack when not in use?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the tarp material from becoming brittle over time.
Troubleshooting
Strap adjusters slipping during heavy loads
Ensure the webbing is looped correctly through the adjuster buckle and double-check that the sternum strap is pulled taut to take tension off the primary shoulder straps.
Zip feels stiff when opening or closing
Clear any debris or fabric snagged in the track. You may apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or rub a graphite pencil lead along the zip teeth to improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karrimor Tarp Backpack, follow these guidelines:
- Setup: Adjust the shoulder straps first while the bag is empty to ensure they sit comfortably on your shoulders. Once loaded, fasten the sternum strap and adjust the height to sit across your chest for optimal stability.
- Compatibility: The internal sleeve is specifically designed for 15-inch laptops; verify that your device measurements do not exceed the bag’s internal dimensions of 45cm x 32cm.
- Care: Spot clean the exterior tarp material with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the water-resistant coating and the integrity of the tarp fabric. Allow the bag to air dry completely away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material cracking.
