Shimoda

By creating photography bags that excel in the harshest environments and eliminate the pains of gear access and storage, Shimoda have focused on making it a pleasure for you to do what you love.
Shimoda Design was founded by Peter Waisnor and Ian Millar and the success of their first product, the iconic Explore series, was Kickstarted in 2017 and far exceeded their expectations. Since then it has quickly gone on to become an icon in the adventure photography market.

As an avid explorer, snowboarder and adventure photographer, Millar embarked upon Shimoda Design after growing weary of the options available for consumers looking for camera packs. As a former lead designer and developer at F-Stop, he decided to put his creative skills and love of all things adventure to good use by creating the perfect adventure photography bag. Collaborating with fellow photographers and inspired by advances in technical outdoor products, Shimoda embarked to create a camera bag that excels in challenging mountain conditions, extensively testing all their gear in the Japanese Alps. This effort translated directly into the huge success of the Explore series. 

With a philosophy of thoughtful design, top-quality materials and specialist technologies, all of Shimoda's products are meticulously crafted and exude quality. An intelligent modular system that is homogeneous across their packs, the Shimoda line of products are versatile in both how and where you use them. From agile adventurers to professional outdoor photographers, Shimoda have created a line of products for everyone, suitable for anywhere. 

When a product is so fantastically designed it enables your passions rather than hinders you. It makes you happy. This philosophy is felt through Shimoda's range of products.
