Overview

Whether you're sauntering along nature's paths or swimming upstream through crowded city streets, your Jasper Halfpack will be a trusted companion for all of your adventures. It looks great, feels comfortable, and protects your precious gear. It not only has room for your camera, but also accessories and a variety of important items from a laptop to a rain jacket to lunch. The beautiful fabric and semi-soft construction give this backpack the feeling of home. YKK zippers add to its professional-grade construction.

The Jasper Halfpack has a camera gear compartment in its lower half which opens from the back of the bag to provide security and to keep your back clean after setting the bag down in the dirt or mud. It also has an upper half that offers a large cavity as well as some smaller pockets and a slender area to slide a laptop computer into. The large cavity is terrific for large photographic items like a small strobe or it can be used for other non-photographic essentials like a jacket, food, lightweight stove, and much more.

For times when you simply need a non-photo backpack the main camera insert can easily be removed from the Jasper Halfpack to expose a large storage area.

The back of the bag sports a luggage handle pass-through strap which is especially helpful for travel.

Another small accessory compartment can be found behind the flap on the front of the bag. It contains small pockets for filters, optical cleaning pens / writing pens, and a small clasp to connect a key ring to.

Two pockets on the bag's sides provide more places to stash important items like a small water bottle, macro focusing rail, snack bars, and more. These side pockets have an elastic band to hold their openings closed.

A tripod harness can be found on the bottom of the Jasper Halfpack. By attaching your tripod to the bottom of the bag its weight becomes more centered than other backpacks which mount a tripod to the side. And the center of gravity is lowered so you have better balance while walking or hiking with the Jasper Halfpack on your shoulders. The tripod harness uses quick release buckles for fast removal or insertion of the tripod. The entire tripod harness can be removed from the bag when you prefer not to use it.

MFR SKU: 520-001 | Helix SKU: SI520001

Overview

Explore 40. The perfect daypack for action-driven adventure photographers.

The Explore 40 is the new standard in adventure photography daypacks. We have created a pack to simplify your shooting experience while minimizing physical fatigue. It’s intuitive design makes sure camera gear and other essentials like food, water and a mobile phone are always within immediate reach. Our modular Core Unit camera inserts let you customize your shooting experience — not only to your gear requirements, but also to the terrain ahead of you. Whether you’re camping out waiting for an epic moment or scrambling up rocky ascents, the Shimoda system allows you to choose the most efficient camera access for the situation – even on the fly. The adjustable harness with its bear hug-like fit makes sure the pack’s weight doesn’t put pressure on your shoulders and is instead distributed to your hips and front torso. Additionally, the rear panel lets air flow between your back and the pack.

Multiple Access Points

The Shimoda Explore 40 backpack offers rear and side access options. The side opening is ideal for quick, under-the-arm access without completely removing the pack. The Rear opening allows wide, unobstructed access to the bulk of your gear for less time-sensitive shooting scenarios.

Height-Adjustable Harness

The Explore 40 backpack harness is height adjustable, allowing the same backpack to fit short or tall — male or female — torsos, and ensuring a custom fit for every user. There are four height options allowing approximately four inches in adjustment. Having the correct torso fit enables the internal frame to be much more effective in transferring shoulder stress and weight to rest comfortably on the user’s hips.

Carry On Friendly

Our backpacks are sized to meet most airline carry-on requirements. Since carry-on dimensions vary by airplane size and style, and regulations are always changing, we recommend checking with your airline before the flight.

Core Unit Modular Camera Insert System

Perhaps the most forward-thinking modular camera inserts on the market, Shimoda’s Core Units are simple, smart and multifunctional. A user can increase their layout options with two or more Core Units by stacking and shifting how they are placed in the pack. This system allows for rear, side, and top access configurations that be adjusted to suit changing terrain and environmental conditions.

The Shimoda Explore 40 backpack offers rear and side access options. The side opening is ideal for quick, under-the-arm access without completely removing the pack. The Rear opening allows wide, unobstructed access to the bulk of your gear for less time-sensitive shooting scenarios.

Height-Adjustable Harness

The Explore 40 backpack harness is height adjustable, allowing the same backpack to fit short or tall — male or female — torsos, and ensuring a custom fit for every user. There are four height options allowing approximately four inches in adjustment. Having the correct torso fit enables the internal frame to be much more effective in transferring shoulder stress and weight to rest comfortably on the user’s hips.

Carry On Friendly

Our backpacks are sized to meet most airline carry-on requirements. Since carry-on dimensions vary by airplane size and style, and regulations are always changing, we recommend checking with your airline before the flight.

Core Unit Modular Camera Insert System

Perhaps the most forward-thinking modular camera inserts on the market, Shimoda’s Core Units are simple, smart and multifunctional. A user can increase their layout options with two or more Core Units by stacking and shifting how they are placed in the pack. This system allows for rear, side, and top access configurations that be adjusted to suit changing terrain and environmental conditions.

Included in the Box:

Explore 40 Backpack Starter Kit with 2 Small Core Units (Blue Nights)

2 x Small Core Unit Inserts

Accessory Straps

Multi-Use Pouch
