Using this small backpack is a breeze. Just unzip the top closure to put your things inside. You can use the outside front zip pocket for items you need to reach quickly, like your phone or keys. Adjust the webbed shoulder straps to fit your comfort level and use the back carrying/hanging loop to hang it up when not in use. When it comes to maintenance, spot - clean the soft canvas with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the material. Make sure to let it dry completely before using it again. And always be careful not to overstuff the backpack to prevent the zippers from getting stuck.
