Streamlined for the Streets
Designed with the fast-paced urban creator in mind, the Shimoda Side Street 28 Starter Kit delivers efficiency without compromising on function. This backpack keeps your gear accessible, your profile low, and your creative momentum flowing. Whether you're racing between subway stops or capturing fleeting golden light, its sleek exterior and thoughtfully engineered access points ensure you're always ready to shoot—without ever setting the bag down.
Smart Access, Smarter Carry
With dedicated side-access to your gear, you'll never miss the moment. The zippered side door opens directly into the modular camera insert, so your setup is always within reach. This exclusive side-entry design eliminates unnecessary weight while adding a layer of discretion in crowded spaces, keeping your gear secure and out of sight.
Flexible Camera Insert System
Included with the Starter Kit is the Medium Top Loader—part of Shimoda’s intelligent modular system. Use it inside the backpack as a protective camera core, or wear it independently as a shoulder bag or sling. You can even mount it on the backpack’s waist belt and convert it into a hip pack for stripped-down shooting days. The system adapts to you, not the other way around.
Expandable Storage with an Urban Edge
The roll-top design isn’t just for looks—it adds customizable capacity when you need it most. Pack extra layers, snacks, or accessories without sacrificing the bag’s compact, street-ready profile. Even expanded, the bag maintains its minimalist shape for those who value both form and function.
Details That Make a Difference
Shimoda’s padded laptop sleeve secures devices up to 16 inches, perfect for mobile editing sessions on the go. And the signature Capture Straps? They play nice with all camera clip systems—offering a cushioned pad behind the mount and adjustable positioning so your camera sits exactly where you want it, no matter what you're carrying.
