We created the Explore 60 for fast moving and agile adventure photographers who need to be in the action to document their story. It was designed to simplify their shooting experience while minimizing physical fatigue. Its intuitive design ensures essentials like food, water and a smartphone are always within reach.

Fully customize your shooting experience
The Explore 60 backpack utilize modular Core Units and multiple sizes of Accessory Cases to let you fully customize your shooting experience, not only to your specific gear requirements, but to the terrain ahead of you. They can be combined to create over 10 different configurations to satisfy numerous gear carrying needs. Whether you're camped out waiting for an epic moment or touring up a crevasse-riddled glacier, our system allows you to choose the most efficient camera access for the situation, even on the fly.

The Shimoda Harness and Frame
Built for maximum comfort and energy conservation, the Explore 60 adventure camera backpack feature an adjustable harness with a bear hug-like fit to ensure the pack doesn't put pressure on the users' shoulders and that weight is comfortably distributed to the hips and front torso.

Shimoda packs have three key frame features
• The torso height is adjustable, providing a custom fit for every photographer
• They have an internal 6061 T6 Aluminum frame to comfortably distribute the load of heavy gear
• The unique shoulder strap design helps balance weight across your chest

These 3 features work together to minimize shoulder strap stress created from the heavy weight of your camera gear pulling the backpack downwards on your shoulders. The result is an exceptionally comfortable bag that conserves the energy of the user.

Thoughtful in every detail
Multiple Access Points. Steep, wet and exposed terrain creates challenges and limitations for photographers who need access to their cameras gear. In complex landscapes, putting a pack on the ground is not always an option. Shimoda backpacks offer rear and side access, with the 60L also offering top access.

• Side opening is ideal for quick, under-the-arm access without completely removing the pack
• Rear opening allows wide, unencumbered access to the bulk of your gear during less time-sensitive shooting scenarios
• Top access allows users to access their camera while the bag is standing; ideal when the main pack is filled with other gear

Additionally, an included convertible, multi-use tripod pouch can be side mounted to the bag to support a tripod or chest mounted to the front harness to secure a camera. The rear panel of the pack has a door-style opening which acts as a protective shield against blowing sand, rain or snow. The interior of the rear panel houses a padded 13-inch laptop sleeve that sits against the users back, providing ideal weight distribution and fast access at airports. Rear panel access also keeps the harness out of the dirt.

Mobile Office and Snack Bar pockets
Each shoulder strap features a fast access sleeve for your commonly accessed items. The left strap includes a zippered mobile phone pocket that even has a cable routing port to connect a portable battery. The right strap has a stretch spandex sleeve that can securely accommodate snacks, water bottles, sunscreen and radios. Having key items within easy reach means never having to remove the pack for simple tasks like checking messages or refueling, which saves energy for when you really need it.
