due to the overall ruggedness, the height-adjustable shoulder straps, the internal metal frame that evenly distributes the weight of heavier loads, and the pack’s weight being on the lighter side when empty.loved but are upgraded with several new features based on customer requests.Starting off, the new Action X V2 series of backpacks has acquired a couple of popular features from the Explore V2 series released two years ago.
There are also plenty of original upgrades too. On each side of the pack are now removable tripod pockets that can also stash water bottles and similarly-sized objects. Once removed from the sides of the pack, Shimoda gives the example of relocating the pockets onto the waist belt for easier access.The removable waist belt now has a new trick thanks to a design change.
Another design change that Shimoda is promising is the larger phone pocket on the left shoulder strap. The company says it can accommodate the iPhone 14 Pro Max — presumably that goes for similarly-sized phones.‘s experience with his pocket in the previous design was that it felt a bit tight with just an iPhone 12 mini on the first-generation Action X70 bag, so this should be an improvement for all, regardless of phone size.At the front of the bag is also an added laptop sleeve.
