Lowepro: It's In The Bag
During the PhotoPlus Expo, I had time to catch up with Jeremy Yokota from Lowepro. He gave me the rundown on their newest bags. With hidden pockets full of all weather covers, detachable hard cases, hideaway straps, and ultra-durable pockets, these bags are as useful as they are stylish. With a lifetime guarantee, how can you go wrong?
There were a few bags in particular that caught my eye.
It looks like a stylish backpack, with the normal features to store pens and stray articles of clothing or water bottles. However, the bottom is a compartment made specifically to protect your DSLR and lenses. You can even access them without taking it off.
Don't just take my word for it — here, Jeremy gives us a demonstration.
2. Pro Roller X 300
This bag looks like a normal carry-on, but inside, it houses a compartment for anything you could possibly want. It has it's own kickstand, the handle converts into a tripod, and users can secure their gear with the built-in combination lock.
The coolest feature is that the hard case and wheels are completely detachable, leaving you with a comfortable backpack. It's perfect for any jetsetters out there that don't want their equipment to get lost in translation.
3. Any of the Pro Trekker AW Series
Designed to help users carry a lot of weight without feeling completely burdened, these backpacks use a suspension system to equally distribute the weight.
Three tripod sleeves, a water bottle packet, and a laptop sleeve make this pack the choice for anyone going off the beaten trail with lots of gear. It has special storage places for a camera, lenses, flashes, and memory cards.
Don't worry, if a downpour looms in the distance, all bags have hidden weather proofing covers that snugly protect your bag. You on the other hand, will need to fend for yourself.
