Sailcloth Material
Warning Blue Lining
Extra Dividers
Carry-On Size
We've made our bag from sails. Sail cloth that is, using the 100% climate neutral VX-21 X-Pac materials. Providing maximum protection while maintaining its ultra lightweight portability.
Built in high visibility blue lining, never forget to zip up again! The Kiboko Backpack line adds an extra layer of protection with this visual cue.
Our bags are infinitely configurable and come with plenty of extra divider types to accomodate any setup imaginable. Our dividers are also made out of Artillion Foam which is the same stuff used in motorcycle helmets. High impact protection, low weight and profile.
The Kiboko 16L stays within international flight carry-on size regulations. The bag comes in at only 3lbs freeing up weight to bring extra gear instead of extra bag on your next trip.
Customer Reviews
The 30l bag just arrived before my trip to Botswana. Looks like all my equipment including the 180-600mm lens fit. Can’t wait to go with this wonderful bag.
I had purchased a few bags with rollers and were actually just a tad big (but stated they were carry on) but when loaded they became heavy and size was a tad taller. I came across the guru gear 30L+ which was on special at the time on the website . I thought I’d give it a go . It turned up couple weeks after placing the order to Australia and it was perfect . I couldn’t believe everything just fitted in it . Sony 600 f4 , 70-200 m2 2.8,16-45 , 14mm 1.8 , both tc’s 1.4x&2x and both my a1’s mk1&mk2 .
I’d like to thank guru gear
Waited and waited, the coloured selections(other than black) are always out of stock. Sold out of each colour means there are demand for all the listed colours, pls add more stocks
Waited for almost 1 yr yet didn't get my fav colour. Black is not everyone fav.
Gura Gear brand of bags shld be more fun too

X-Pac VX-21
In all of our gear we use X-Pac VX-21, a sailcloth-inspired laminated rip-stop nylon. This is the gold standard in materials for bags. Even after years of abuse it holds up as a durable, water resistant, and utlra lightweight material. Some of our legacy users are still using their original Kibokos from 10 years ago.

Our History
Solving for a critical need: Weight
Co-founders Trevor Peterson and renowned wildlife photographer Andy Biggs created Gura Gear to answer a problem critical to traveling to extreme locations: weight limits on photo gear.
En-route independently to East Africa, both Andy and Trevor got into some trouble with the carryon restrictions at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. “I had packed two Nikon Pro DSLR bodies and 200-400mm f/4, 70-200mm f/2.8, & 24-70mm f/2.8 lenses, putting me past the weight limits. It took some convincing to get in the air, "-Trevor.
Talking over the campfire after a long day of photographing wildlife, Andy and Trevor discussed what the perfect camera bag would be. Literally on the back of napkin, the Kiboko backpack was sketched out.
Over two years of development, eight rounds of prototypes, and one patent application later (and one very frustrated factory manager), the Kiboko camera backpack was launched.
