Gura Gear Kiboko 22L+ is now available!

You spoke and we listened. You asked for a smaller Kiboko bag. We made it. You wanted a place to put a laptop computer. We added it. You wanted a removable waist belt. You got it. You want to travel to places across the globe with less stress. You wanted a beefed up harness system that would be comfortable for longer hikes. We heard you loud and clear. Here it is, the new Gura Gear Kiboko 22L+.

Before I go into product details, I want to tell you that I and the rest of the Gura Gear team have been working hard at delivering your needs and desires, and this isn’t the last product you will see from us. Our design philosophy is to make products that we want to use ourselves, and after many many trips around the globe with 22L+ prototypes, I think we nailed it. I hope you think so, as well.

Kiboko 22L+ details

The Kiboko 22L+ was designed from the blueprints that our customers provided over the last couple of years while working out on Safari, touring southeast Asia, or simply shooting at home. Much like its more mature sibling, the Kiboko 22L+ is lightweight and durable, but this bag has a thing or two to teach big brother; like  how to carry up to a 15” laptop computer. Sized to fit the most stringent of international carry on requirements without sacrificing carrying capacity; this gem can carry up to a 500mm f4.0 lens in style. The Kiboko 22L+ was made to travel with a beefed up harness system that features memory-foam shoulder straps, a vented and padded back panel, a removable waistbelt and shoulder straps that can tuck away when not needed.

While remaining true to the Kiboko DNA, the 22L+ features a unique butterfly flap access system which allows you to easily get to multiple bodies, lenses, and all your photo accessories without exposing all your prized gear. Kiboko backpacks are made of high-tech materials designed to balance weight and durability. Used by some of the fastest sail boats in the world, VX-21 has a superior strength to weight ratio while remaining abrasion- and tear-resistant. VX-21 is expensive, but your gear is worth it.

What's in Andy's Camera Bag?

While I was out on safari in Tanzania a few weeks ago, I decided to set up a tripod and shoot a quick video on how I pack my Gura Gear Kiboko bag.

If you have any comments, questions or thoughts, I would love to hear them!

Update: Some people have been asking me how I created the video, so here are the details: Canon 5DMk2 camera, 50mm f/1.2 lens, SONY UWP-V1 wireless microphone with audio recorded on a Roland R-09 portable recorder.
