Kiboko City Commuter 18L+

I am replacing a Thule Aspect with this backpack. It's about the same exterior volume as my other bag, weighs less and lets me pack at least 50% more gear. Accessibility is also much better. I have another dedicated camera bag for my larger gear and am now very tempted to replace it with a corresponding Gura as well. In this photo, I have fitted in more than I can carry in my older bag, and the roll top allows me to take a jacket etc.

18L? Rolltop makes it possible. The trinity lenses (14-24, 24-70, 70-200) w/ 40mm prime, flash (SB-500), cards for both slots, with a Nikon Z8 w L-bracket max. Sometimes a z50ii with a smaller lens,, too. Tripod or monopod. And a either a 16" laptop or both a 13" MBA and a 13" iPad depending on the trip.

Totally worthwhile.

I hope they use this as a pro forma for a yet smaller bag for my DX kit; though, I have to say the roll-top is key for how I use the 18L and would use a bag for a smaller kit, e.g., the new 12L is attractive but without the rollmop it would not work as well as this capable 18L.

The backpack's design is perfect for carrying a complete travel kit in a very compact size. You barely notice the weight thanks to its perfect distribution. And the color is even more beautiful in person than in the photos. The material is waterproof and very durable. This is the second backpack of this model that I've bought, as for me it's undoubtedly the best. There was a mistake and they sent me a backpack in a different color than the one I ordered, but the customer service was impeccable and resolved the issue very quickly and efficiently, so a ten out of ten for that as well.

Bag hasn't arrived so why are you asking me to review? Your shipping sucks. Super delayed. I won't be home to receive it. Find a different shipping service with better tracking. Janky AF. Unprofessional at best. Poor choices by this company.

Light weight, versatile, one of the best camera backpack I have ever used.

I haven't had a chance to use the bag so I can't say much about it but I can say the shipping company was a nightmare. You would think the that for bags this expensive you would get ups or fed ex, nope. They used some funky third party shipping company with tracking that made no sense. The website was terrible and broken, I had no idea if my bag was coming or going. Missed two days of work because of this

I have a lot of different backpacks or have had in the past. But since having this backpack it just seems like every time I get ready to go somewhere it just happens to be the one that really is going to work best for where I'm going. No matter what. I like it because it's smaller fits under the seat in the airplane. If you have to and is small enough to meet European checked baggage constraints. It's been all over the world now with me and I can't say I can imagine having anything different now. I am going to look at the larger one for some of my longer adventures but haven't decided quite yet for sure what I'm going to do in that respect. I guess if I was to say what I really like about it. It's just the way all the pockets are organized and the easy access with the roll top to grab things, but also being able to pull the camera out at the side of the pack in a moment's notice.

If you load it with heavy camera gear and place it in an aircraft overhead bin, it becomes a missile because the material is slippery and there is only a single, thin grab handle. A single handle also limits how you can load it to the overhead bin. Add some more handles to make it perfect for travel!

The backpack’s stitching is poor, with many loose threads and substandard craftsmanship. The chest buckle requires forceful effort to detach.

The Gura Gear bag is an excellent bag in terms of quality, comfort, and functionality. This will hold my gear beautifully and comfortably and as a bonus it's also rain repellent. My only knock is the color. I purchased the "slate" color, which shows on the website as a light gray but in reality is a much darker "greenish gray". I have asked to exchange it for the Pacific blue. But the bag itself is excellent!

Smaller than expected- but product appear solid !

It is the best material, fit and comfort. Is built for us in mind.
