The GlobeRider35 is a soft-sided pack that complies to carry-on size requirements for most airlines. Carry-on requirements vary by airline and flight, which is where soft-sided luggage shines. This pack is designed to be a carry-on and has been tested in luggage sizers for multiple airlines to ensure it can fit in the overhead compartment of most passenger jets.

What does a backpacking-style carry harness actually mean?
The GlobeRider35 features a backpacking-style internal suspension system. The pack is built around an aluminum framestay and framesheet, adding structure to the back panel. This ergonomic design transfers the weight of the pack from the shoulders to the hip belt, so that it feels light and comfortable while walking or standing. This internal suspension design is common in backpacking packs.

Is the GlobeRider35 waterproof?
This pack is built from waterproof materials. This water-resistant design can withstand light rain, but is not fully waterproof.

How do the backpack straps and hip belt stow?
Undo the labeled hook-and-loop tab on the back panel, unclip the shoulder straps at the buckle, fold the straps at the fold line, and slide into the sleeve that is located behind the breathable back panel.

How big is the water bottle pocket?
The external water bottle pocket can fit a wide range of water bottles, including 1-liter bottles and Nalgenes.

What is the maximum and minimum sizes that the hip belt and sternum strap accommodate?
The waist belt minimum is 27 in (68.6 cm) hip circumference, and the waist belt max is 56 in (142.2 cm) hip measurement. The sternum strap placement on the straps is adjustable, and the maximum length of the sternum strap is 18 in (45.7 cm).

How do you clean the GlobeRider35?
To clean your backpack, we recommend spot cleaning with a mild soap and water solution. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub any dirty areas, then rinse with clean water and let it air dry completely. Avoid machine washing, submerging in water, or using harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials and water-resistant coatings.
