This backpack offers versatility with its modular camera inserts, allowing users to adapt to various shooting scenarios. Side access ensures quick and lightweight gear retrieval. The removable laptop sleeve reduces weight while providing protection when needed. Comfort is enhanced by padded capture straps with convenient pockets. The backpack is environmentally friendly, featuring a recycled, water-repellent fabric and includes a rain cover for added protection.
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 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.
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.
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.
