How to use: Simply put on the backpack like you would any other. Adjust the sternum strap to fit snugly across your chest and the hip fins to sit comfortably on your hips. This will give you the best stability and comfort during your ride. Things to note: Don't overload the backpack beyond its capacity as it may affect the balance and comfort. Also, make sure all zippers are fully closed before you start riding. Maintenance advice: After each use, shake out any dirt or debris. You can hand - wash the backpack in cool water with mild detergent if it gets really dirty. Let it air - dry completely before storing it in a cool, dry place.
