Shimoda Urban Explore - Unboxing

How tall are you? I'm torn between the 20l and 25l and I need a size reference.

[@GodwinIsaac]

@@comdnoive I’m pretty short at 5’5” that’s why I opted for the 20L. Larger bags make me look like a ninja turtle 😭😆

[@comdnoive]

⁠@@GodwinIsaacI'm not much taller at 5'7" but looking at the video I think the 25l is juuuuust small enough to not look like an astronaut.

Nice backpack, very roomy

[@GodwinIsaac]

Yes! Roomy but doesn’t look big on me 😌

[@mishkathlay]

@@GodwinIsaac looks gigantuous!

[@GodwinIsaac]

@@mishkathlay still smaller than previous camera bags I had 🫣

[@JJSID]

do you find this backpack to be too heavy? it's already 4lb without gear

[@GodwinIsaac]

@@JJSID feels lighter than 4lb honestly. I’ve also been downsizing my gear so I think that helped, that’s why I also opted for the 20L

This has to be from the Kickstarter campaign, correct? They seem to have messed up the colour, this is too green compared to the pictures. Fortunately i got the black version, but its a little shady that they chose to offload the (defective?) green batch to Kickstarter backers who have no option to return the bag.

[@GodwinIsaac]

Yeah this is the kickstarter version 🫣

[@mishkathlay]

I didn't see any green until you mentioned it. Now all I see is green.

[@GodwinIsaac]

@@mishkathlaydefinitely darker than I thought but maybe the lighting is partly to blame? Definitely not as green in person

[@mambru34771]

Can you still get these or only from the kickstarter?

[@GodwinIsaac]

They’re currently in the process of sending all their kickstarter orders. So I would I assume they’ll be available to everyone else sooner or later 👍🏽
