Using this backpack is a breeze. Just unzip the top closure and start packing your stuff. You can put small, frequently - used items like keys or your phone in the outside front zip pocket for easy access. Adjust the shoulder straps to fit your body comfortably before you put it on. When it comes to maintenance, you can spot - clean the soft canvas with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid machine - washing as it may damage the material. Also, don't overstuff the backpack to prevent the zippers from getting stuck. When not in use, store it in a dry place to keep it in good condition.
