Introducing KATA
KATA designs, develops, and manufactures quality, state-of-the-
art protection solutions and carrying systems. KATA’s products are
designed around the human frame. It’s not enough that the
equipment fits the case, the case must also fit the user!
In 1983, two friends, members of an elite military unit, began exchanging
ideas about how backpacks and military equipment cases could be
made more modular and ergonomic. Based on their own field experience,
they went on to design a line of combat-ready gear. They named their
company KATA. In 2005 Kata joined the Vitec Group and under the
Photographic Division the company has been expanding and flourishing.
For many years KATA has been creating high-end products for
professionals around the world. KATA Design HQ and part of the
manufacturing facilities are based in Jerusalem, Israel.
KATA established its reputation by outfitting Protection and Security
Special Forces with auxiliary cases, utility & protective vests and
backpacks. Tough, durable, yet remarkably lightweight, KATA products
are constructed to withstand rough treatment and harsh conditions
over long periods.

In 2004, KATA launched the Global Digital Collection (GDC) for the
Professional Digital Photographer and Videographer. The collection
includes carrying solutions specifically designed for delicate digital
equipment incorporating KATA's latest development - the unique TST
(Thermo-Shield-Technology).

KATA has provided an outsourcing service to Hi-tech Industries that
manufacture sensitive equipment for field operation. KATA is involved
from the research to the development and design stage through
production. A prominent example of such an enterprise is the KATA -
MANFROTTO collaboration which is responsible for the entire line of
Manfrotto bags worldwide.

to become the sole designer and
manufacture of all their Camera

meticulously hand crafted for durability:
Internal bindings cover the fabric-ends and outside seams are double folded to
eliminate unraveling. Carrying handles are sewn from the bottom of the bag, for the
greatest possible strength. Our silent YKK zippers are double seamed and usually sewn
on the inside of the fabric to hold them fast.
Five Year Warranty
KATA warrants each product to be free of defects in material and workmanship for
a period of 5 years from the date of purchase. We are able to provide you with this
warranty because: Each of our products is
ISO-9000
KATA complies with the rigorous requirements of ISO-9000 for quality management
systems. The ISO (International Organization for Standards) is a worldwide federation
of national standards committees from over 90 countries.
Introducing ERGO-TECH
New revolutionary consumer bag line
Ergo-Tech = a seamless extension to your body. Kata’s collection
of consumer bags introduces new organic carrying solutions for
your personal day to day gear and your CAMERA+. A unique
combination of cutting edge technologies (Flexi-Shield),
materials(Elasto-Guard) and design have been joined together
to create this range of flexible dynamic bags that will adjust to
the ever changing shapes and movements of your body, while
also able to shift shape in order to fit the variable equipment
within. Designated safe guard zones feature internal modular
padded divisions and external Flexi-Shield reinforcement for
ultimate protection.
Elasto-Guard = a specially developed
material for the Ergo-Tech collection.
This is a lamination which consists
of the following 3 layers:
1. External layer - high resistance
stretchable knit/weave PES/PA.
2. Middle layer - 1 to 3 mm closed-cell
waterproof elastic foam padding.
3. Internal Layer - a soft, anti-scratch
knit/weave PES/PA lining or KATA’s
"Yelloop" fabric which enables the
attachment of dividers, and provides
soft, anti-scratch cushioning.
Flexi-Shield = a technology
specially developed for the
Ergo-Tech collection.
This high frequency molded
flexible reinforcement appears
in the form of ridges on the
exterior of the safe guard zones
for ultimate protection.
