When it comes to bags, the one-design-fits-all theory only works with a certain few types of bags. A backpack that’s designed for weekend getaways may be too cumbersome for carrying to work, and a slim sidebag for your laptop may not have the bandwidth to carry all your clothes, or more specifically, your camera gear. Designing a bag that’s good for travel, work, AND for the photographer is a pretty tough challenge, but it isn’t something Gura Gear is new to. They’ve been designing functional and durable bags since 2008, and the Chobe 2.0 is their most functional and durable one yet.
The Chobe 2.0 (pronounced Cho-bee) combines over a decade’s worth of bag-making experience along with a robust design brief, incredible materials, and suggestions crowd-sourced from Gura Gear’s passionate audience. The side-bag is slick and succinct yet spacious, well-protected on the inside as well as out, and comfortable to carry around wherever you go, whether it’s on your shoulder, or strapped to your wheely travel-case. For starters, it’s made from fabric so durable and weather-proof, it’s used to make sails for racing yachts. Couple that with the Chobe 2.0’s expandable design (featuring over 20 storage compartments), functional addons (including a rain-cover and organizer), and all-black aesthetic, and you’ve got a bag that ticks all the boxes, making it professional enough for work, spacious enough for travel, organized enough for photography-gear, and durable enough to be used anytime or anywhere.
Working our way from the inside to the outside, the Chobe 2.0 comes in 2 sizes (a 16-inch and a 13-inch) that’s wide enough to fit your laptop, and spacious enough to accommodate your other gear. Dedicated padded compartments let you carry all your belongings in an organized manner, while quick-access pockets on the outside let you swiftly stash and retrieve stuff like your phone, wallet, passport, EDC, etc. The main compartment is ideal for carrying the bulk of your luggage, although an optional camera insert lets you further organize that space, with a modular padded organizer for storing your camera, lenses, attachments, flashes, etc. Got space woes? A simple zipper lets you add as much as 5 liters of extra storage to your bag! The outside of the bag’s as advanced as the inside is, thanks to the use of the VX-21 and VX-42 fabrics that aren’t just waterproof, they’re abrasion-resistant too. If you’re looking for added protection, an optional rain-cover gives you an extra layer against torrential rain, protecting your gear on the inside.
Chobe 2.0’s robust, wear-resistant construction means it’s built to last. A 5-year warranty may seem pretty standard, but the bag’s advanced materials, reliable build, and high-quality components should easily see you through a lifetime of use, even in the most demanding of situations.
