Operating Instructions
1. Packing the Backpack
- Place heavier items closer to your back and centered within the pack for better balance.
- Distribute weight evenly to prevent strain.
- Utilize internal pockets and compartments for organizing smaller items.
2. Securing External Gear
Beyond the ski/snowboard carry system, use the external compression straps to secure additional gear and reduce pack volume, preventing items from shifting.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
- Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the water-repellent coating and fabric integrity.
- Rinse thoroughly and air dry away from direct sunlight.
2. Water Repellency
The backpack features a water-repellent finish. Over time, this finish may diminish. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if necessary, following the product manufacturer's instructions.
3. Storage
Store the backpack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Troubleshooting
- Discomfort while wearing: Re-adjust shoulder straps, hip belt, and sternum strap. Ensure weight is evenly distributed and heavier items are close to your back.
- Gear not secure: Double-check all buckles and straps. Ensure they are tightened appropriately for the load.
- Water leakage: Inspect for tears or damage. If the water-repellent coating is worn, consider re-treating the fabric with a DWR spray.
