Use and Care

The Brute Scout is ideal for day trips in the mountains where lightness and quick access to gear are essential. To preserve the longevity of the fabric and straps, it is recommended to clean the backpack with clear water and let it air dry, away from a direct heat source. Store it in a dry place between outings to preserve the aluminum frame and seams.
