Shimoda

Shimoda designs technical bags for adventurers and outdoor professionals. Specializing in robust carry solutions for extreme conditions, the brand develops modular backpacks built for hiking, trekking and expeditions. Impeccable organization, ultra-durable materials, comfort even when fully loaded — Shimoda is for those who take their gear where others stop.

Founded in 2016 in Boulder, Colorado, by Ian Millar and Peter Waisnor, Shimoda was born from Ian's 25 years of experience designing adventure camera bags — including as lead designer at f-stop. The name Shimoda evokes Japanese mountain trails. Each bag is designed as a reaction to real-world adventures, not imagined from a comfortable office. The brand specializes in modular backpacks for outdoor and expedition photographers.
