Setup
Deploying and Stowing the Harness System
The Sojourn features a deployable and removable AirScape harness and hipbelt, allowing for comfortable backpack carry when rolling is not feasible. To deploy, unzip the rear panel and pull out the shoulder straps and hipbelt. Adjust them for a snug fit. To stow, reverse the process, ensuring all straps are neatly tucked away to prevent snagging during transit or when checking the bag.

Adjusting Straps for Comfort
For optimal comfort during backpack carry, adjust the shoulder straps to distribute weight evenly. The adjustable sternum strap, equipped with a whistle for emergencies, should be fastened across the chest. The hipbelt should sit comfortably on your hips, transferring load away from your shoulders.

Operating
Packing Your Sojourn Backpack
The Sojourn offers ample space and smart organization. Utilize the interior mesh and liner pockets for smaller items. The main compartment is easily accessible for larger gear. The Wingjacket compression straps with padded sidewalls help secure contents and manage the load, allowing the bag to compress when not fully packed.

Transporting Your Backpack
For rolling, extend the dual-tube trolley handle. The oversized 110 mm wheels and lightweight HighRoad chassis ensure smooth movement over various surfaces. Use the large webbing side and bottom grab handles for easy lifting and maneuvering. The integrated TSID luggage registration helps in reuniting with your bag if it gets lost.

Cleaning Instructions
To clean your Osprey Sojourn, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a soft brush. Ensure the bag is completely dry before storage to prevent mildew. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Material Durability
The backpack is constructed with heavy-duty bluesign APPROVED, 100% recycled high tenacity nylon and ballistic polyester main body and bottom fabrics, using DWR treatments made without PFAS. This ensures durability and resistance to wear and tear during travel.

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
- Jammed Zippers: Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., zipper wax or graphite from a pencil) to the zipper teeth and gently work the slider back and forth.
- Stuck Wheels: Check for debris (e.g., hair, lint) caught in the wheel axles. Clean as necessary. Lubricate the axles if rolling remains stiff.
- Loose Straps: Ensure all buckles are securely fastened and straps are tightened appropriately for your load and body type. Refer to the setup section for proper adjustment.
