Re: Shimoda X30 - first impression

Hey!

Great to see a Norwegian with this backpack.

I been looking at the Shimoda all since the start and always been unsure what I should choose. I been between the x30 - x50.

Currently i`m using a Incase dslr backpack that was great for my old gear. But with Nikon D850, Sigma 12 - 24 - Tamron 24 - 70 G2 and a Sigma 70 - 200. I don`t feel safe transporting the gear in the backpack. A specially with a macbook in the front pocket that a squezzing all the gear at my back. Pretty scared to damage the gear when transporting it now.

I`m usually going hiking with my gear and you know as a Norwegian yourself how our mountains are in winter time or in summer. It seems like a great backpack to have both helmet, snowshoes or other hiking gear hanging on the outside.

I heard some from somebody else that water gets into the bag if its really raining hard?

Would love to get some help with the choice and how you feel the backpack have been for you after some months of usage!
