Using this High5 gear bag is a breeze. First, open the drawstring top closure. You can put your big items like Rugby balls in the main compartment. Use the flexible divider to keep things organized. For shoes or small accessories, the front zippered pocket with a deep interior pouch is the place to go. When carrying, just slip your arms through the backpack shoulder straps. As for maintenance, it's easy. You can spot - clean it with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. When not in use, keep it in a dry place to prevent any mold or mildew. Also, make sure to keep the ID holder dry to protect the information inside. And don't overload the bag beyond its capacity to avoid any damage to the seams or straps.
