Using the Exos 48 is a breeze. First, adjust the shoulder straps and hip belt to fit your body properly for maximum comfort. You can put your essential items in the main compartment and use the side pockets for easy - to - reach things like water bottles. When you don't need the floating lid, remove it and use the FlapJacket to keep your gear organized. Be careful not to exceed the maximum carry weight of 14kg (30lbs) to avoid damage to the pack and ensure your comfort. To maintain your Exos 48, clean it regularly with a mild detergent and let it air dry. Avoid exposing it to sharp objects that could tear the fabric. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
