Using your Tempest 30 women's backpack is a breeze. First, open the top - loader design to easily pack your essentials. Place heavier items closer to your back for better balance. If you're using a hydration reservoir, slide it into the dedicated sleeve. For trekking poles or ice axes, attach them to the designated points on the sides of the pack. When it comes to care, spot - clean the backpack with a mild detergent and warm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Let it air dry completely before storing it. Make sure not to overload the pack beyond its maximum carry weight of 8 kg (20 lbs) to maintain its performance and durability. Also, store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any damage to the high - quality recycled nylon material.
