Using the Escapist 20 Pack is a breeze. First, adjust the straps to fit your body comfortably and ensure a stable fit. Use the internal organizer panel to sort out your essentials like tools, snacks, and a map. Attach your helmet and blinky lights to the LidLock attachments for added safety. When it rains, simply pull out the extra - visible raincover to protect your gear. As for maintenance, after each use, check for any signs of wear and tear. If it gets dirty, wipe it down with a damp cloth. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Make sure not to overload the pack beyond its capacity to maintain its shape and performance.
