Shimoda Action V2 X40 Women's Backpack Starter Kit Teal (with Medium DSLR Core Unit)

Shimoda Action V2 X40 Women's Backpack Starter Kit Teal (with Medium DSLR Core Unit)

The Action X40 is designed for demanding female photographers with serious gear needs. It's an efficient and fast access outdoor camera bag, built for action in foul weather, ever-changing environments and challenging terrain.

All Women's Series backpacks feature our Women's Tech Strap and Adjustable Women's Belt. The straps are designed to curve away from the chest area and are slightly smaller than our stock shoulder straps. The belt is also physically smaller and features 2.4 in (6cm) of adjustable waist diameter. This allows women with smaller hips to find a much better fit and take full advantage of transferring weight off their shoulders.

The X40 is designed to carry gripped bodies and will comfortably fit most mirrorless and DSLR cameras (up to 6.7 in or 17cm tall) via our DSLR Core Unit series. Its roll-top access allows users to expand or compress the volume to the demands of the day. It features multiple attachment straps, including TPU compression straps for greater durability when attaching skis, and its removable helmet holder lets users secure mountaineering, ski or bike helmets to the outside of their pack.

Action X's interchangeable and adjustable shoulder straps feature two zippered pockets to carry the latest iPhone Pro Max phones, a water bottle, or personal accessories. The Action X25, X30, X40 and X50 feature side camera access and two removable tripod or water bottle pouches that can be moved to the belt location for instant access to key accessories like snacks and lenses, or removed completely to save weight. Two padded sleeves protect laptops and tablets up to 16 inches.

Finally, the removable belt, luggage-handle pass-through and hidden AirTag sleeve make the Action X40 a stealthy and stylish partner in urban and travel environments. If you need to carry a gripped camera body and still want a relatively small pack, this is the one for you.

Key Features:

• Women's Harness - Every women's series pack comes equipped with our Women's specific Tech Straps and Women's Adjustable Belt. The straps curve away from the chest area while the dual sternum straps eliminate any awkward pressure points. The belt can be adjusted by 2.4 in (6cm) to help women with a smaller waist find a better fit around their hips.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Product Care

To get the most out of your Shimoda gear we strongly recommend regular maintenance. This includes cleaning, re-applying water repellents, zipper care, and airing out your gear.

Whether the 1st day or the 100th; scratches, damage and tears can occur. Mountains and the tools we use to access them are often stronger than our backpacks. Please be mindful and take good care of your Shimoda gear.
