Product Description
- Modular Top Loader Camera Inserts (SOLD SEPARATELY): All Side Series backpacks use our Shimoda Top Loader camera insert system. Top Loaders come in 3 sizes (S, M, L) and can be used inside a backpack as the camera insert or on their own as a Sling/Shoulder Bag, and can also be used with the backpack’s waist belt as a Hip Pack. Side Series packs can be easily adapted to different shooting scenarios with one modular system.
- Side Access: Side Series backpacks have exclusively side camera access. The side-port allows access to any Shimoda Top Loader insert size (small, medium, or large). Side-only access allows the backpack to be much lighter weight, while also providing quick-access to the gear.
- Removable 16-inch Padded Laptop Sleeve: To allow the pack weight to be even lighter, the padded sleeve (fits up to 16-inch laptop) is removable. Sidecountry is a stripped-down, lightweight mountain backpack. The removable sleeve ensures the pack is not carrying extra weight and bulk in the mountains, but can still protect a laptop when necessary.
- Shimoda's Signature Capture Straps: Compatible will all brands of camera clips, with the added comfort of padding behind the clip. Straps feature a zippered phone pocket that fits an iPhone Max, plus an expandable accessory pocket for gadgets that can also hold a water bottle. They include hidden routing for a 2-way radio speaker/mic which you can also use for a water bladder hose.
- Lightweight Water-Repellant Recycled Shell, Plus Rain Cover Included: In addition to including a removable rain cover for the heaviest wet weather days, the Side Series uses Cordura re/cor RN66 fabric: a durable, lightweight nylon made from reclaimed pre-consumer waste materials that have been recycled into high quality yarns. The manufacturing process creates 83% fewer greenhouse gas emissions, uses 82% less energy and 57% less water than comparable nylon textiles.
