FAQs:
What kind of gear fits in the Medium Top Loader?
The expandable base allows the Top Loader to accommodate a camera with an attached 70-200mm or 100-400mm lens, as well as select compact drones, such as the DJI Mavic series. Its padded interior and adjustable vertical dividers help secure different gear layouts, including mirrorless or DSLR bodies with accessories.
Can I use the Shimoda Sidecountry 32 as a travel or commuter bag?
Yes. Its roll-top design, laptop sleeve, and discreet exterior make it viable for daily use beyond photography. The front stuff pocket and modular insert system also support use as a daypack for short trips or city travel.
Are the Capture Straps compatible with Peak Design clips?
They are. The backpack's Capture Straps are designed to work with camera clips from all major brands, including Peak Design. They include padding behind the clip area for added comfort and feature both a phone pocket and an expandable pouch.
How weatherproof is the Shimoda Sidecountry 32?
The outer fabric is made from water-repellent Cordura nylon and comes with a dedicated rain cover. While it isn’t fully waterproof, it offers reliable protection against snow, rain, and splashes during mountain shoots or hikes.
What sustainability measures are used in the backpack’s construction?
Shimoda’s manufacturing process utilises pre-consumer recycled materials, significantly reducing its environmental footprint. Compared to traditional nylon textiles, the backpack’s shell requires 83% fewer greenhouse gas emissions, 82% less energy, and 57% less water to produce.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
