Explore V2 25 Women's Starter Kit (w/ Small Mirrorless Core Unit) - Teal
The Women's Explore 25 backpack is Shimoda’s smallest adventure bag. Built for women 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 a women's torso.
Every woman’s series pack comes equipped with our Women's specific Tech Straps and Women's Adjustable Belt. The straps curve away from the chest area while the dual sternum straps eliminate any awkward pressure points. The belt can be adjusted by 2.4 in (6cm) to help women with a smaller waist find a better fit around their hips.
The E25 is stocked with numerous smart travel features ensuring your adventures go as smoothly as possible. Lockable zippers, a hidden passport pocket and a luggage-handle pass-through compliment the adventure-driven comfort and durability. It’s all packaged in a sleek design bound to satisfy the pickiest of creators.

Women's Harness - Every woman’s series pack comes equipped with our Women's specific Tech Straps and Women's Adjustable Belt. The straps curve away from the chest area while the dual sternum straps eliminate any awkward pressure points. The belt can be adjusted by 2.4 in (6cm) to help women with a smaller waist find a better fit around their hips.
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 pass-through handle, 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 Aired-Out Harness – Three height options with approximately 7 cm (2.7 in) of vertical adjustment allows the same backpack to fit short or tall torso heights, ensuring a custom fit for everyone. The “Aired-out” harness allows air to flow through the perforated high-density foam making our bear hug-like harness feel comfortable and cool on your torso.
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.
Dual Laptop/Tablet Sleeves - Both rear and front panel padded sleeves fit a laptop up to 14 inches in size. Having two sleeves lets you pack both a tablet and laptop while providing options for various packing scenarios.
Hidden Tracking Device Sleeve - A new hidden sleeve holds a personal tracking device so you always know where your pack is. In the unfortunate scenario your pack goes missing, a tracker can assist in discovering its location and recovering your gear. The sleeve accommodates AirTag and Tile Pro devices.
Built-in 100mm Filter Sleeves – Quickly accessible sleeves fit filters up to 100mm.
Included Rain Cover – The lightweight rain cover provides an extra layer of protection in wet weather conditions, and it self-stows in its own pouch for easy storage.
Extra Supportive Shoulder Straps with Microphone Attachment Points – Shimoda rethought shoulder strap design and created a weight distributing shape and fit to help support the load of a camera bag. Instead of the weight of the bags pulling backwards like most common camera backpack harnesses, our straps distribute weight across the chest area. Paired with our bear-hug like fit, shifting weight to the hips and front torso translates into more physical energy and mental focus to use on your photo adventure. The Explore V2 straps feature a mobile phone pocket and a second expandable pocket for larger accessories or a water bottle. Each of these pockets also has a convenient band of webbing to attach lavalier mics or products like the RODE® Wireless Go.
Removable Hip Belt – Our EVA moulded belt design features a cut-out shape that comfortably secures around the top of the hip bone. The belt includes a mesh sleeve to quickly stash trash, and a gear loop to temporarily hang items from. The loop is ideal for carabineers, ice axes and even small tripods. The belt is also removable for days with lighter loads, or for travel and events when you want a little less bag to pack around. Simply unfasten the belt from the rear access panel and slide it out.
Mobile Office and Snack Bar Pockets – Each shoulder strap features a fast access pocket for commonly accessed items. The left side has an expandable sleeve that can securely accommodate snacks, water bottles, sunscreen and two-way radios, and the right side features a zippered mobile phone pocket.
Lightweight Water-Resistant Materials – The outer shell of each pack is unique to Shimoda. It utilizes a Carbonate Ether PU formula of mixed, proprietary resins to create an extremely durable coating. The increased durability provided by the coating allows the use of lighter weight nylon without compromising strength, toughness or water repellency. Rounding out the adventure-ready exterior is our signature leather zipper pulls.
Twelve Exterior Attachment Points – Allows you to carry various photography and mountain tools on the exterior of the pack. Users can secure numerous tripods, skis, ice axes or a snowboard with Shimoda’s optional Accessory Straps.
??Swappable Shoulder Straps – Harness straps can be swapped with other optional straps such as straps designed specifically for Women, or our Plus straps with extra cushioning.
Versatile Front Panel Pocket – The large front panel pocket is ideal for numerous oversized items like a jacket, laptop in a padded case, or avalanche safety equipment.
Hydration Bladder Sleeve and Routing – The front panel also features a sub-pocket and hanger loop designed to fit a hydration bladder up to 3L. It has dedicated routing to run the hose through the exterior rear panel and onto the shoulder straps.
Free Standing Padded Base – Our base features a lightly padded panel to add more protection when placing the pack down. The shape was designed so the pack will be able to stand without any assistance. The base panel also features two ventilation holes to limit any potential condensation build-up inside the base area.
Water-Resistant Splashguard YKK® Zippers – We use YKK SplashGuard (RCPU) zippers in critically exposed areas of the backpack. RCPU zippers help prevent rain, snow and sand from entering your bag.
