Introduction

Shimoda Sidecountry 28L

The Sidecountry is designed for mountain travelers who prioritize adventure over admin. The packs are focused on efficient performance in the field so creators can capture beautiful moments in fleeting conditions, landscapes and light, all without carrying any more weight than necessary.

As part of Shimoda’s Side Series collection, the Sidecountry can fit Shimoda’s Small, Medium or Large Top Loader inserts, allowing users to pack only the camera gear they need, while still having enough room for backcountry essentials in a sleek lightweight mountain camera pack.

The system is modular and offers multiple use case scenarios in one package.

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 backpacks 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.
