Using this bag is a breeze. You can use the exterior pouches to store small items like keys, cards, or pens. The webbing allows you to attach additional pouches according to your needs. Unzip the double - zip main compartment to access larger items. When carrying, you can use the wrap - around handle for short distances or the shoulder strap for longer hauls. If the load is heavy, take out the shoulder strap harness from the bottom of the bag. When not in use, store it in a dry place to prevent damage. Avoid overloading the bag to keep the compression straps and D rings in good condition. Regularly check the zippers and clean the bag with a damp cloth if it gets dirty.
