Waterproof Roll-Top Seal Instructions
Step 1 - Roll the Airtight Seal
Roll the black webbing forward tightly three times towards the front of the bag until the Velcro attaches.
This creates the airtight waterproof seal.

You now have two options to secure the rolled seal.
The Top Seal is ideal for quick access and frequent opening, while the Side Seal is perfect for compact positioning and added security.
Step 2 - Quick Lock with the Top Buckle
Bring the end clip around and lock it into the top buckle to secure the rolled seal.
This method is ideal for short use, such as moving between the car, home, or beach.

Step 3 - Secure with the Side Compression Straps
Clip the side buckles on both sides of the backpack and tighten the compression straps to secure the rolled seal.
This method creates a flatter profile and is recommended when wearing the backpack for longer periods.
