Shimoda Urban Explore 20 Backpack – Anthracite

Designed for Today’s Creator—Built for Everyday Travel

The Shimoda Urban Explore 20 is a compact, travel-ready camera backpack crafted for modern photographers, videographers, and creators who need a sleek, functional carry solution for daily use and light travel. With a refined Anthracite finish and a durable recycled Cordura® shell, it delivers a perfect blend of style, protection, and comfort for urban adventuring or on-the-go content creation.

At 20 litres, it’s the smallest in the Urban Explore lineup—ideal for creators who carry a minimal kit but still want smart organisation, secure camera access, and all-day comfort in a smaller, body-friendly profile. Fits a 14-inch (35 cm) laptop.

Travel-Friendly Design That Meets Global Carry-On Rules

Made for creators who travel often, the Urban Explore 20 is fully compliant with the most restrictive U.S. and international carry-on regulations. It features a luggage handle pass-through for smooth airport movement, a hidden AirTag pocket, a base grab handle for two-handed carrying, and an easy-access hidden passport pocket for added security.

Built-in mobile battery routing allows you to charge your devices on the move—perfect for long travel days or content-heavy outings.

Fast Side Access and Secure Rear Access

The pack is engineered for efficiency and security:

• Side access gives fast, under-the-arm entry to your camera without removing the backpack—ideal for street photography and reactive shooting.

• Rear access offers a wide, anti-theft opening to the full interior, perfect for organised gear changes when time allows.

These dual access points keep you faster, safer, and more agile in every environment.

Removable Core Unit Camera Insert (Included)

Inside, the Urban Explore 20 includes a removable Core Unit camera insert that provides shockproof protection for a mirrorless or DSLR kit (non-gripped bodies).
Remove the insert to instantly convert the bag into a stylish, general-purpose travel pack—making the Urban Explore 20 a versatile companion well beyond camera outings.

Creator-Focused Features Throughout

• Capture Clip Mounting Strip on the shoulder harness offers height-adjustable placement for a Peak Design Capture Clip or similar quick-draw system.

• Dual side pockets support a tripod, gimbal, or water bottle with equal convenience.

• Premium harness and back panel ensure comfort during long days of shooting or sightseeing.

• Beautiful recycled Cordura® construction provides durability with an environmentally responsible footprint.

Every detail serves the needs of hybrid content creators who need their pack to work as hard as they do.
