Operating Instructions
1. Loading the Bag
- Open the main compartment by unrolling the top closure.
- Place your items inside, ensuring not to overfill the bag. Leave enough space to properly roll down the top for a watertight seal.
- For optimal weight distribution, place heavier items at the bottom and center of the bag.
2. Sealing the Bag for Waterproof Protection
To achieve the IPX6 waterproof rating, proper sealing is crucial:
- After loading, bring the two stiffened edges of the top opening together.
- Roll down the top closure tightly at least 3-4 times. The more rolls, the better the seal.
- Secure the rolled-down top by clipping the side buckles together. Ensure they are firmly clicked into place.
3. Carrying Options
- Hand Carry: Use the robust central handle for short distances or when transferring the bag.
- Shoulder Carry: Attach the removable shoulder strap as described in the Setup section for hands-free transport.
- Motorcycle/Vehicle Attachment: Utilize the various attachment points and MOLLE webbing to secure the bag to your motorcycle or vehicle using appropriate straps (not included).
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
- Clean the bag with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh detergents or solvents, as these can damage the PVC material.

- Allow the bag to air dry completely before storage, especially the interior, to prevent mold or mildew.
Storage
- Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
