Shimoda Explore 40 Starter Kit (w/ 2 Small Core Units) - Blue Nights (520-003)

The Explore 40 sets a new benchmark for adventure photography daypacks, streamlining your shooting experience while reducing physical strain. Its intuitive design ensures quick access to camera gear and essentials like food, water, and your mobile phone. Our modular Core Unit camera inserts let you tailor your shooting experience to your gear needs and the terrain ahead. Whether you're patiently waiting for the perfect shot or navigating challenging terrain, the Shimoda system offers efficient camera access options. The adjustable harness distributes weight to your hips and front torso, preventing shoulder strain, and the rear panel promotes airflow between your back and the pack. Built with materials and construction techniques designed for hardcore adventurers, the Explore 40 features a Carbonate Ether coated shell that provides excellent water resistance from both external water pressure and internal condensation. This allows us to use lighter core materials for both the exterior shell and interior lining, resulting in a lightweight, durable camera bag ready for your next adventure.
