Shimoda Action X40 v2 Backpack - Yellow

"Multiple Access Points - The Shimoda Action X backpack offers rear and side access options. The side opening is ideal for quick, under-the-arm access without completely removing the pack, and the rear opening allows wide, unobstructed access to the bulk of your gear for less time-sensitive shooting situations. Adjustable Torso Height - The X40 has three height options with approximately 9 cm (3 in) of vertical adjustment. This means the same backpack can fit short or taller — male or female — torso heights, ensuring a custom fit for everyone. Those with taller or broader torsos can add our Booster Kit for greater range in torso fit.  Core Unit Modular Camera Insert System - The X40 utilizes our DSLR Core Unit series. Core Units provide shockproof protection for Mirrorless and DSLR cameras and lenses, and ensure a user never carries more padding and weight than necessary. The X40 v2 can accommodate our Small, Medium, Large DSLR sizes. It can also accept our shallower Mirrorless series. Expandable Roll-Top Access - We gave the Action X series a roll-top access so the bag can be adjusted to your gear needs while maintaining a tight and compact fit. The roll top can expand with a volume range of 7 liters. The top section also has an additional quick-access YKK SplashGuard® zipper that makes getting at your gear extremely quick and easy, especially in foul weather. Dual Laptop/Tablet Sleeves - Both rear and front panel padded sleeves fit a laptop up to 16 inches in size. Having two sleeves lets you pack both a tablet and laptop while providing options for various packing scenarios. Hidden Tracking Device Sleeve - A new hidden sleeve holds a personal tracking device so you always know where your pack is. In the unfortunate scenario your pack goes missing, a tracker can assist in discovering its location and recovering your gear. The sleeve accommodates AirTag and Tile Pro devices. Removable Tripod & Water Bottle Pockets - Quick-deploying pockets on both sides of the pack can be used to fit a water bottle, tripod or other outdoor equipment. Both are removable and can be placed on the belt for added options and convenience. Place a water bottle, a camera lens, GoPro or snacks, and have fast access to frequently used gear.  Optionally, if you are just looking to save weight, remove completely for a lighter load. Anti-theft Rear Camera Access - Allows wide, unobstructed access to the bulk of your gear, and cannot be opened during travel except by the user. Extra Supportive Shoulder Straps - Shimoda rethought shoulder strap design and created a weight distributing shape and fit to help support the load of a camera bag. Instead of the weight of the bags pulling backwards like most common camera bag harnesses, our straps distribute weight across the chest area. This overall bear-hug like fit shifts weight to the hips and front torso, which translates into more physical energy and mental focus to use on your photo adventure. The straps also feature a mobile phone pocket that can accommodate the iPhone Pro Max, plus a second expandable pocket for larger accessories or a water bottle. Sport-Friendly Design - Our Action X series is designed to perform seamlessly for adventure athletes, photographers and filmmakers who like to be embedded in the action and environment. We have added action sport specific features like a removable helmet holder, ski fastening straps and a bike pump sleeve. We’ve even used extra durable materials to help protect the pack from the kind of abrasion that mountain gear causes when attached to the outside. Adjustable and Removable Hip Belt - Our EVA molded belt design features a cutout shape that comfortably secures around the top of the hip bone. The diameter can also be adjusted to fit different waist sizes. Both sides include a mesh sleeve to quickly stash trash, and a gear loop to temporarily hang items from. The loop is ideal for carabiners, ice axes and even small tripods. The belt is also removable for days with lighter loads, or for travel and events when you want a little less bag to pack around. Simply unfasten the belt from the rear access panel and slide it out. Luggage-Handle Pass-Through - All Action X v2 backpacks feature a luggage-handle pass-through so creators traveling with a luggage roller can easily place the pack on top and roll their gear instead of carrying it. It's ideal for airports and commutes where you would like a little extra convenience and comfort. Rain Cover and Storage Sleeve - All Action X v2 packs come with a rain cover and dedicated storage sleeve integrated into the base of the backpack. Base Handle - Along with the side and top handles, the base handle makes it incredibly easy and convenient to move your backpack around. Mobile Office and Snack Bar Pockets - Each shoulder strap features a fast access pocket for commonly accessed items. The right side has a stretch spandex sleeve that can securely accommodate snacks, water bottles, sunscreen and two-way radios, and the left side features a zippered mobile phone pocket. The mobile pocket even has a cable routing port to connect a portable battery. Having key items within easy reach means never having to think about removing the pack for simple tasks like checking messages or refueling, which in turn saves energy for when it’s really needed. Removable Helmet Holder - A simple accessory that lets you carry most styles of adventure helmets on the front of your pack. Especially ideal for mountain bikers and mountaineers who don’t always need to wear a helmet in hot situations. Made from a durable jersey, the main body of the holder stretches to allow it to wrap around the helmet and hold it in place. The inside of the holder includes sticky silicone dots that provide extra grip so the helmet stays in place. Lightweight Water-Resistant Materials - The outer shell of each pack is unique to Shimoda. It utilizes a Carbonate PU formula of mixed, proprietary resins to create an extremely durable coating. The resin is applied in layers to provide complete coverage and increased durability. Our coating allows the use of lighter weight nylon without compromising strength, toughness or water repellency. Multi Configurable Front Panel - The front panel webbing attachment system allows you to carry various photography and mountain tools on the exterior of the pack. Users can secure numerous tripods, skis, ice axes or a snowboard. Each strap features a glove-friendly YKK® side-release buckle. EVA Compression Molding (Shoulder Straps, Belt and Rear Panel) - Shimoda packs use EVA compression molding techniques to provide superior comfort, load stability and protection in critical body-contact areas of the bag. EVA also allows refined quality control and construction. Versatile Front Panel Pocket - The large front panel pocket is ideal for numerous oversized items like a jacket, sleeping bag or tent, laptop in a padded case, or avalanche safety equipment. Hydration Bladder Sleeve and Routing - The front panel also features a sub-pocket and hanger loop designed to fit a hydration bladder up to 3L. It has dedicated routing to run the hose through the exterior rear panel and onto the shoulder straps. Free Standing Padded Base - Our base features a lightly padded panel to add more protection when placing the pack down. The shape was designed so the pack will be able to stand without any assistance. The base panel also features two ventilation holes to limit any potential condensation buildup inside the base area and an integrated rain cover stash sleeve. Water-Resistant Splashguard YKK® Zippers - We use YKK SplashGuard (RCPU) zippers in critically exposed areas of the backpack. RCPU zippers help prevent rain, snow and sand from entering your bag."
