Using your Flare 27 - Liter Backpack is a breeze. First, unzip the main compartment and place your 16 - inch laptop or smaller in the dedicated sleeve. Use the internal organizers to keep smaller items like pens, notebooks, and chargers in order. When carrying the backpack, adjust the straps for a comfortable fit. As for maintenance, regularly wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to keep it clean. Avoid overstuffing the backpack to prevent damage to the internal structure. If the backpack gets wet, let it dry naturally in a well - ventilated area. Also, be careful with sharp objects around the backpack to avoid tearing the fabric.
