[Zipper] Had several PD bags. But this one is so much better and confortable to carry around. Used it during my trip to Norway and Sweden, with 3 lens and one camera and tripod, just love it. 5

Scott	04/09/2024
[Yes] Keeping in mind that everyone has different needs for their gear, this bag is the best one I have found for my needs. The material is high quality, the different setup options for inserts and the amount of organization space is top shelf. It comes with an included rain cover which is a nice touch as well. I like that I can set it up to have a smaller camera setup with me and more personal items or bring all of my camera gear with me in one bag and every combination in between. The shoulder straps are adjustable to different heights and you can even order different shoulder straps if needed. The removable waist strap is very sturdy as well. You can use it for more storage options or take it completely off. I have nothing bad to say about the bag. For what I need it for, it works perfect. 5

Andy	02/09/2024
[Zipper] I have lots of camera bags and this is by far my favorite. 5

Donald	04/08/2024
[Yes] I thought I had scored a winner, but the insert is only large enough for a basic small mirrorless kit. I have a Nikon Z8 and various lenses. Just not enough room for what I need. Otherwise, it's a great pack. 5

Lloyd	29/06/2024
[Zipper] Able to easily fit Nikon Z8 and z-mount trinity on the long sides. Great adjustability on straps. Material appears durable. 5

Earl	28/06/2024
[Universal] I got this bag because I needed something smaller than my Shimoda Action X 50L bag because I was doing an event and didn’t need my big bag or anything like that so I picked this bag up. It’s great for a walking around bag. The description says it won’t hold a camera with a battery grip, but it holds my Sony A7riii with my Tamron 35-150 attached and still has room for my Tamron 17-28 in the bag too. 5

James	23/06/2024
[Universal] I have over six camera bags. My recent addition was the Shimoda Urban Explorer, 25L, in Boa. I used it for the first time today walking the Zinzinnati (Cincinnati) OctoberFest. I put my Nikon Z9, 135mm Plena, and my 50mm 1.2 in it comfortably. While I could not have got another lens in the pockets, I did have room enough for the spare battery, lens cloth, and a few small items. The top open space could have held more. It worked extremely well. I watched many videos on YouTube prior to purchasing it. I listened to people say it won't stand up on its own, and one said it did not have a waist band. The word Urban says it all. It is for the Urban environment. That is what I used it for. It worked as advertised. I did not need a waistband. I would if I was hiking at the Arches (Moab), but I wasn't, I was walking Octoberfest. It was extremely comfortable. And it felt great on my back. And felt great when I hooked my Z9 with the Plena on it to the Peak Design Clip. Again, as advertised. It was perfect. I'm 5'9 and 265 lbs. I adjusted the straps and made it extremely comfortable to wear. I mentioned my weight since heavier people are wider and the bag adjusted wonderfully. My bags are specific to their environment. I used my Shimoda Action X40 V2 (Yellow 40L) when I hiked Zion, Bryce, and Arches. I would not tell you to use the Urban Explorer for those hikes. I 100% recommend it for the Urban, hence the name, environment. 5

[Zipper] I just got back from Moab and parts of SW Colorado. Shot at least 1,000 photos carrying a Lumix S5II with three lenses. The bag's camera cube perfectly accepted the lenses and camera body. I chose to keep the camera body separate and to choose the lens for each situation, basically five compartments. I have a small Pgytech case with three batteries and other accessories that perfectly slotted into the top compartment. I carried my iPad in the lid to the camera area. I didn't use the side access since I left the bag in the car normally and used a Peak Design strap when I walked around. I used the side parcels for incidentals (glasses, drinks, snacks, cloths). I also used the connector in the top area to attach my keys for the duration of the trip. My TSA papers went into the front pocket. Most importantly, the bag disappears on your shoulder, so if I wanted to hike with it, I could have. It resists dirt and water, both of which I encountered. The bone color is classic and appropriate for desert-like mountains and other features encountered. I can't speak more highly of Shimoda and its engineers and designers. And it fits under the seat of the plane with ease! 5

Christopher	16/06/2024
[Zipper] Was cross shopping against Peak Design, Nomatic, and Wandrd bags of similar size. This checked more boxes, was as functional/if not more than others. Is it expensive?! Yes. But it's highly functional, comfortable, and subtle/minimalistic enough (it does not scream, i'm a camera bag!, very important when traveling). Some of the other bags look bulkier and their shapes are not as pleasant. Plus, it fits on an airplane under the seat (25L). 5

Bart	03/06/2024
[Yes] Tried dozens, and never have I had a bag that has been designed with such attention to detail. Although expensive it is well worth the money. 5
