Our editorial take on the Shimoda Designs Action X70 Backpack (Army Green)

The Shimoda Designs Action X70 Backpack (Army Green) is presented as a versatile, large-capacity bag suitable for adventure photographers, videographers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Its 70L volume, expandable via a roll-top, indicates suitability for extended excursions or significant gear loads. The design focuses on robust utility, featuring a partitioning system for organization, tripod carry options, and weather resistance through an included rain cover.

Key features include an adjustable torso height and multiple carry options, such as backpack straps with a sternum strap, a waist belt, and a trolley sleeve, suggesting ergonomic comfort and adaptability for travel. The dedicated laptop pocket accommodates up to a 16" laptop, while the main compartment is described as empty, implying the need for separately purchased Core Units to organize camera gear effectively.

Given its substantial volume and focus on outdoor and travel scenarios, the Action X70 is positioned for users requiring a durable, high-capacity solution for both personal effects and creative equipment in varied environments. Its construction from fabric and inclusion of a rain cover emphasize its preparedness for challenging conditions.

Best for: This backpack is best for adventure photographers, videographers, and outdoor enthusiasts needing a large-capacity, versatile carrying solution for extended trips or significant gear setups.

Watch outs
