Important Notes
Please note that this product is not intended for use by children aged 12 and under. The water-repellent finish helps shed light rain and spills but is not fully waterproof, so extreme exposure may compromise contents. For optimal longevity, avoid placing heavy or sharp objects directly against the laptop sleeve. The removable waist belt can be adjusted or detached based on your preference, though it is recommended during hikes or uneven terrain for added stability. Always ensure zippers are fully closed before exposure to wet conditions. This item comes packaged as a single unit; no additional accessories are included unless specified.
