Itaca Backpack Care Guide

A few simple habits will keep your Itaca backpack performing at its best.

General Care

• Clean regularly to prevent dirt buildup.
• Avoid overloading beyond its intended use.
• Store in a dry place when not in use.

Cleaning

For light cleaning:

• Use a damp cloth to wipe the surface.
• Let it air dry completely.

For deeper cleaning:

• Use mild soap with cold water.
• Gently clean with a soft brush or cloth.
• Do not scrub aggressively.

What to Avoid

• Do not machine wash.
• Do not tumble dry.
• Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals.
• Do not iron.

These can damage the fabric structure and waterproof coating.

Water Resistance

All Itaca backpacks use PU-backed fabrics for full water resistance.

To maintain performance:

• Wipe dry after heavy exposure to rain.
• Do not store the backpack while wet.

Zippers & Hardware

• Keep zippers clean from dust and debris.
• Avoid forcing zippers under tension.
• Check buckles periodically for proper function.

Storage

• Store empty or lightly filled to help maintain shape.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use.
