Imlay Shinumo Backpack
Imlay Shinumo Backpack
A 47-liter internal frame canyoneering-specific pack, the Shinumo, is the High Priestess of Imlay's line, offering reasonable comfort in addition to canyon compatibility like no other. Big enough for long day-canyons carrying too much stuff, and for lightweight canyoneering overnights.
The Shinumo is the women's version of our Heaps Pack, built for smaller, curvier bodies. The pack body is 2" shorter, then made wider and deeper to reclaim the volume lost to shortening. The suspension has been re-engineered to fit women, especially smaller women. The hipbelt is shorter and curvier. The shoulder straps are narrower at the ends, but wide where they cross the shoulder.
Now Available in Two Sizes:
Size Small is fit for amazing median women in the 5'0" to 5'4" range.
Size Medium is for amazing median women in the 5'4" to 5'8" range.
How it fits your body is hard to say, without trying it on with weight in it. Please be sure to do this when you receive your pack.
Taller than 5'8"? I expect the Heaps Pack will fit you better; available with a woman-shaped hipbelt upon request.
Features:
Perforated PVC-laminate fabric on the highest abrasion areas - the bottom and the bottom of the sides.
Three pleated outside pockets offer more space.
Insta-Drain design: mesh sides and bottom vents allow water to drain rather quickly..
Worthy suspension: well padded, with an aluminum-stiffed framesheet and nicely shaped hipbelt.
Pockets, but not zippers: three body pockets are pleated and close with a strap and buckle, rather than the easily destroyed zippers.
Zippered Lid: clips off easily to stow in your drybag.
Tri-Fold Bivy Pad: 1/4 inch pad fits in the back providing a comfy carry and a bit of flotation - and unfolds to offer minimal comfort in unplanned bivies.
Water Tank compatible.
Colors:
In the Heaps family, the Heaps is the main pack, mostly for men and women who are 5'9" to 6'4". The Shinumo medium is for women and men, 5'4" to 5'8"; the Shinumo small for women and men 5'0" to 5'4".
Hipbelts:
We have several hipbelts available:
Men's Standard is for men, waist size 32" and up. Larger can be built if it is found not long enough.
Men's Small is for men waist size 30" and smaller.
Women's Princess is for smaller women, Queen for larger women. Very hard to be specific about that. Princess is standard on Shinumos, but we try to keep Queen size in stock.
Weight: 4 lb 6 oz (1985 g)
