## Description

The Explore V2 25 is Shimoda s smallest adventure pack. Built for photographers who want to venture into demanding locations but also need to travel globally just to start the adventure, its size meets the strictest international carry-on regulations and is small enough to fit under most airline seats. Its overall footprint makes it a very friendly option to those long searching for a high-end camera pack that can accommodate photographers with a smaller torso. The E25 is stocked with numerous travel smart features ensuring your adventures go as smooth as possible. Lockable zippers, a hidden passport pocket and a luggage pass-through handle compliment the adventure-driven comfort and durability. It s all packaged in a sleek design bound to satisfy the pickiest of creators.

Review: Great Camera Backpack - I own several different backpacks from a variety of manufacturers. I purchased this size of pack after reading and watching a variety of in-depth reviews. It was purchased for a week long trip to Rome where I would be carrying a the new medium format Fujifilm GFX 100ii camera and two lenses. It was packed with wide angle fixed focal lens and a zoom lens, travel tripod, filters, straps, iPad, iPhone and a raincoat. What makes this pack better and far more comfortable than most is the frame. For long or all-day use, this is the best pack I’ve ever used and is more than capable of carrying most equipment rigs with comfort and efficiency. The pack is far larger than it seems.
Review: Very large compared to description - Tough decision but I returned it due to its size. I needed a “ small” bag to fit under airline seat and pass requirements to enter formula 1 tracks. The description provided by Shimoda indicated both were met. This pack is so feature laden and protective it’s far larger than rated size indicates. The suspension design is superlative for a photo backpack and I say that from the perspective of someone who has done weeks long backpack expeditions. Cost was not a consideration.

## Features

- INTERNATIONAL CARRY-ON COMPATIBLE AND TRAVEL FRIENDLY DESIGN – Designed to be the perfect travel partner, the Explore V2 25 water-resistant camera backpack meets the strictest global Carry-On regulations and even fits under an airplane seat. It also features a luggage handle pass-through, lockable zippers, a base handle for easy 2-handed carry, a hidden passport pocket, and a quick dual-access document/book sleeve.
- MULTIPLE ACCESS POINTS – The pack offers rear and side access options. The side opening is ideal for quick, under-the-arm access without completely removing the pack, and the anti-theft rear opening allows wide, unobstructed access to the bulk of your gear for less time-sensitive shooting situations.
- ADJUSTABLE TORSO HEIGHT – 3 height options with approximately 7.5 cm (3 in) of vertical adjustment allows the same backpack to fit short or tall — male or female — torso heights, ensuring a custom fit for everyone.
- SMALL MIRRORLESS CORE UNIT MODULAR CAMERA INSERT INCLUDED – Core Units provide shockproof protection for Mirrorless, SLR and DSLR cameras and lenses, and they ensure a user never carries more padding and weight than necessary. A user can increase their layout options with two or more Core Units by stacking and shifting how they are placed in the pack.
- TRIPOD & WATER BOTTLE POCKETS – Quick-deploying pockets on both sides of the pack can be used to fit a water bottle, tripod or other outdoor equipment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 14” MacBook Pro only really fits in front pocket
*by B***G on 22 December 2022*

The laptop pocket is too tight for a 14” MacBook Pro. It does fit but it is hard to insert or remove from the pocket either from the back panel or from the top opening. If you need access to the laptop, it’s better to use the front pocket instead. When fully loaded the bag will fit under an airline seat with room to spare for your feet.
