FAQs

What is the capacity of the Shimoda Side Lite 22?

The Shimoda Side Lite 22 has a capacity of 22 liters. The roll-top design allows for some flexibility in volume.

Are the camera inserts included with the backpack?

No, the Shimoda Top Loader inserts (small and medium sizes) are sold separately and must be purchased to utilize the modular storage system effectively.

Is the backpack suitable for heavy rain?

The backpack is designed with weather-resistant materials to protect your gear from the elements. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, using a separate rain cover is recommended for maximum protection.

How do I attach a tripod to the backpack?

You can attach a tripod using the integrated Capture Straps on the exterior of the backpack. Ensure the tripod is securely fastened to prevent it from shifting or falling.

What is the weight of the Shimoda Side Lite 22?

The backpack weighs approximately 1.1 kg (2.4 lbs).

What type of creator is this backpack best suited for?

It is ideal for creators, particularly photographers and videographers, who prioritize a lightweight, streamlined, and adaptable carrying solution for minimal gear in rugged or adventurous environments.

Can I use other brands' camera inserts?

While the backpack can accommodate various soft items, it is specifically designed and optimized for compatibility with Shimoda's own small and medium Top Loader inserts for secure and efficient modular storage.

Troubleshooting

Roll-top closure is difficult to secure.

Ensure the pack is not overstuffed. Smooth out the fabric at the top before rolling and securing the buckle. Check for any obstructions in the buckle mechanism.

Camera insert does not fit properly.

Verify that you are using a Shimoda small or medium Top Loader insert, as these are the only compatible models. Ensure the insert is oriented correctly within the backpack.

Capture Straps feel loose when carrying gear.

Tighten the straps firmly and ensure the gear is balanced. For heavier items, consider distributing weight within the main compartment as well.

Fabric appears dirty or stained.

Gently spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The primary setup involves configuring the roll-top closure by folding it down multiple times and securing the buckle. For modularity, ensure compatible Shimoda Top Loader inserts are purchased and placed inside the main compartment. Attach external gear using the integrated Capture Straps according to your needs.

Compatibility: This backpack is specifically designed to work with Shimoda's small and medium Top Loader camera inserts (sold separately). The Capture Straps are a universal feature for external gear attachment.

Care: To maintain the pack's performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior and interior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the fabric and coatings.
  2. Drying: If the pack becomes wet, allow it to air dry completely before storing. Do not use heat sources like hairdryers, which can degrade materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris to prevent sticking.
