Product & fit

Are your bags waterproof?

Our backpacks are water resistant, not waterproof. Our fabrics all come with a layer of Durable Water Repellent (DWR), and will handle splashes and brief periods light rain.

However, like most zipped backpacks, our backpacks are not waterproof: water can eventually seep in in prolonged exposure, so  to protect your bag in for longer exposure or in heavy rain, we recommend adding a raincover for enhanced protection.

What’s the best way to clean my bag?

Spot cleaning with mild detergent a cloth. 

Please note the Durable Water Repellent coating may rub off with time. We recommend reapplying a DWR coating to maintain best water resistance.

My bag is really dirty – what should I do here?

Remove the insert by lifting the velcro strap. Hand wash and air dry. Do not machine wash.

Please note the Durable Water Repellent coating may rub off with heavy washing. We recommend reapplying a coating after to keep water resistance.

Can I remove the foam insert?

You sure can. The foam insert adds firmness to the structure and we recommend keeping it on. To remove it, lift the velcro area and slide the foam out, and refasten the velcro tab.
