    • 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.

    With our 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 30L is designed to carry the maximum gear while staying within international flight carry-on size regulations. The bag comes in at 3.9lbs freeing up weight to bring extra gear instead of extra bag on your next trip.

    Stowable shoulder straps give the bag a less technical look when storing.

    Great option for large lenses

    There doesn't seem to be many bags on the market that: are well suited for carrying large lenses and multiple bodies, lightweight, comfortable to carry, and will fit in almost any airline carry-on luggage compartments. This one appears to fulfill all of these needs.

    Exactly What I Wanted

    I wanted a pack that would carry my Nikon Z8 attached to the 180-600mm lens. This bag, the 22L+, does that perfectly. In addition, it also very nicely holds most of my lenses standing upright. The 105/2.8 and 70-200/2.8 have to lay on the side. Either of the two main compartments are easily configured (using the abundant pad dividers) for filters up to 95mm for the 180-600. In addition, there are enough zip pockets to easily hold and organize many smaller items. This bag is about 5" deep as opposed to my Tenba bag at 7" but it still holds the shorter lenses and is much more accepting of the long lens. The zippers and X-Pac fabric are excellent. I have yet to take it out loaded up, but the shoulder straps and back padding look like they will be very comfortable. The access on the side opposite the straps is clean and quick not having to flip the straps out of the way. It is a simple bag in a way, but very efficient and functional. It is exactly what I wanted and needed. I am loving my Kiboko 2.0 22L+!

    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.

    Main Compartments

    Our signature Butterfly style duel front access allows you to access the contents of your bag quickly and without exposing everything to the elements. Pack different variations in each side for maximum organization. Pro body DSLR and lens combos fit well inside the 30L Kiboko. There are also webbed zipper pockets on the outside panel of the main compartment for small misc items. The webbed design allows you to see the contents.

    Interior Dimensions11.81 x 20.08 x 5.91" / 30 x 51 x 15 cm

    Ultra Lightweight

    X-PAC® VX-21 by Dimension Polyant is the most light-weight and durable fabric ever for ultimate protection from the elements. We were the first to implement this material into camera bag design. The bag comes in at 3.9 lb / 1.77 kg making it one of the lightest bags in its size class without compromising durability.

    Front Accessories Pockets

    At the exterior of the two front panels are the bags accessory pockets. Loaded with zipper pockets, a key ring, places for pens, and enough space collectively to put a wind breaker jacket inside. The zipper pockets inside feature a webbed style so you can see the contents of the pockets.

    • Butterfly Style

      Butterfly Style

      Our signature butterfly style access allows you to get to your gear without the hassle of a large clamshell style opening. Originally designed for those in a safari vehicle, allowing access in a tight space without exposing all of your gear to the elements.

    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. 

    Great add-ons for the Kiboko Bags
