I've been a photographer for 10 years, and for 9 I was never happy with a bag for more than a month or so. Sure, they did the job, but never quite ticked all the boxes. Last year I bought this bag (35L) and still love it. While I don't believe there is a perfect bag, this has come extremely close to being it for my needs and haven't even felt the need to shop around for another.

Thanks for doing this. Appreciate a solid and complete review. Ian

Thanks for such an awesome review based on real world use- super helpful to hear about all the little details/uses.

I've had the 25L bag since they went on sale, it's not the only Shimoda bag I have but it's by far the most used, it's really an EDC (every day carry) bag, useful. I've seen all the videos of course, and didn't need to see this one really, BUT, you've done one of the smoothest most comprehensive covers of this bag yet, for me anyway. Very nice review.

I've had this bag for 8 months or so and I really like it so far! (35l black)

As an R5 owner, really loved this! Thanks!!!

Succinct and well detailed review thanks 😊

Now bought!!

I need a bag that has features for both hiking and a camera backpack. While this looks extremely well made and I like the features. I think for my taste I'll be looking at a brand like Atlas for Hiking/Photography.

It's the best backpack for a landscape photographer that I've ever used.

Amazing detailed video ! All my questions about the bag were answered ! Thanks

8:01 that pocket is perfect for the Ricoh gr3. I keep it in there

[MrJak]

I got two of them 35&25 definitely the best on the market ATM buy far

I have the 25L, and my 14” MacBook Pro fits inside

[roddyross]

What a brilliant review! So well explained and demonstrated. I'll be buying one now.

Ayyy epic review mate. Glad it lived up to the hype

An excellent review sir! As a landscape and product photographer, I've used dozens of brands over the years, my current favorites being from ThinkTANKPhoto and MindShift Gear. However, you've given such a strong positive review of this Shimoda bag, that it has my interest for my Nikon Z System kit. I love the many storage options and pockets, as well as the removable waist strap. I just need to decide between the 26L and 30L size. Thank you!

I have the 50 and the 25. Amazing bags

[gabrielgrdamasco]

thanks for the most complete and comprehensive video about shimoda Explorer V2. I was in doubt between this and the Prvke but with the Prvke I would have to go with the 41l to have the same space as the Shimoda 31l. Now I can go without a doubt, anyway thanks a lot for sharing. 👍🏻🇧🇷

You can use it as a table for laptop when backing up sd cards.

hmm. i still have my Lowepro ProTactic BP 450 AE ii and Peak Design Everday Sling V2 10L I still did not used. I did get a new backpack for my Thailand trip recently, and it felt like in needed room. I saw this bag at one of the Thailand Camera store. I'm glad to see someone i follow on YouTube review the bag. I might consider it.
