Gary Dowd reviews the Kiboko bag

DateThursday, February 25, 2010 at 08:58AM

Here is Gary Dowd’s review of our Kiboko bag on his blog. Here are some noticable quotes:

The zipper pulls are easy to grab and look bomb proof. The carrying handle on top and sides are nicely shaped and padded (Gura Gear calls them “ergonomically placed”). The stiffer padding on the sides is flexible but provides the right amount of protection. This is an incredibly lightweight bag – specs put the weight at just 4 lbs.

Here is a great one:

The fact that this loaded bag will fit into the overhead space on a CRJ makes me want to take a trip just to try it out. The backpack straps and harness are well designed and as comfortable as you’ll find on any top-of-the-line backpack.

How about a durability statement:

The outside of the Koboko is covered in rip-stop nylon fabric that can take a beating.

David duChemin's Kiboko bags in Senegal and Kenya

DateTuesday, February 23, 2010 at 10:58PM

David duChemin recently returned from not one but two trips to Africa, and on both trips he took his trusty Gura Gear Kiboko bags. David wrote up a quick blog entry from his Kenya safari, entitled Lessons Learned: My First Safari, and you can take a look at David’s safari images while you are at it.

Here are few images from David’s other trip to Senegal. Notice the good looking camera bags? :-)

Gura Gear at the Olympics

DateFriday, February 12, 2010 at 03:52PM

Sterling Lorence just grabbed a few quick photos of he and his trusty Kiboko bag at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. Sterling is a freelance photographer who is based in Vancouver, B.C. and has some amazing sports photographis on his web site. Be sure to check out his gallery photos on his web site.

Sterling recently took delivery of his bag, and he wrote back to us:

I’m liking the bag so far…love how light it is and am impressed at the quality of construction. I have my full collection of canon bodies and lenses in there with room to spare.  I’m about to put it through the paces of 16 straight work days here at the 2010 winter olympics here in Vancouver BC.

David duChemin, his Kiboko bag, and an ERJ 700 aircraft

DateWednesday, February 10, 2010 at 10:27AM

Our friend David duChemin recently took a photo of his Gura Gear Kiboko bag in the overhead of a regional jet, a Bombardier CRJ 700. We are seeing more and more regional jets in the skies, and we have developed the Kiboko bag to be sensitive to these types of aircraft. There are some models, like the ERJ 145, that have very very very small overhead compartments, and no camera bag on the market that is larger than a very small laptop sleeve can fit inside.

Here is a quick photo of David’s Kiboko bag in the overhead:



See? All fits perfectly. :-)

Driftfotos.com reviews our Kiboko bag

DateMonday, December 7, 2009 at 10:01PM

Driftfotos.com recently reviewed our popular Kiboko camera bag. Check out what Larry Chan had to say about our Kiboko bag here.

Notice how Larry easily fits both his 400mm f/2.8 and his 600mm f/4 into the bag. If you are interested in our bag and are concerned if one of these large telephotos will fit, well don’t worry at all. Works like a charm!

David Peterson testimonial

DateSaturday, November 28, 2009 at 02:59PM

I really like this bag! I’ve tried just about every one there is….. living with all there faults. I’m a fine-art landscape photographer who has been using view-cameras for over 20 years, and have just changed over to a Hasselblad H3DII, 50 mp. This Kiboko bag will be it’s permanent home, and my everyday pack. I love the materials, the harness system, the butterfly opening, and the light weight….. and I can put it in the overhead! I see no reason to use another bag.

Thanks again,

David

Our friend David DuChemin over at Pixelated Image posted an image of he and his Gura Gear Kiboko bag on his blog. He wrote up a great mini review of the Elinchrom Quadra entitled “Big Love for Small Light”, but we like the actual image taken of David and our Kiboko bag.
