Lowepro has expanded its ProTactic lineup to include the BP 300 AW II Camera and Laptop Backpack, MG 160 AW II Camera Messenger Bag, and TLZ 70 and 75 AW Convertible Camera Bags. The new cases incorporate many of the features that have made the ProTactic series so popular, while offering more compact sizes for easier carry.
The BP 300 AW II backpack is half dedicated to camera gear and half dedicated to personal items, making it perfect for everyday usage. A modular Quickshelf divider system can be tailored to your gear, folded flat for easy storage, or removed completely to maximize interior space. You can access the BP 300 through the top or sides of the bag, making it simple to get to your equipment no matter how you are carrying your bag. A CradleFit laptop pocket designed to cushion against impact is built in for up to a 15" laptop. Finally, the backpack incorporates dual side tripod attachments, multiple small storage pouches, ActivZone ventilation to cool your back, and an All-Weather (AW) cover for when the elements turn on you.
The MG 160 AW II messenger bag also allows you to divide your storage between camera gear and personal items via a removable Quickshelf divider system. An adjustable strap allows you to wear the bag high on your shoulder, across your body, or low on your hip, depending on your preference. A stability strap is also included if needed. Top access makes it easy to reach in your bag, while the bottom of the bag allows you to easily attach a tripod. A built-in CradleFit laptop pocket can accommodate up to a 13" laptop. An All-Weather cover is also included for an extra layer of protection.
The TLZ AW convertible camera bag comes in two expandable sizes, depending on the length of your attached lens. The TLZ 70 AW can hold up to a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens with hood, while the TLZ 75 AW can hold up to a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens and hood. Both feature quick, top access to your camera as well as an organizer pocket for batteries, memory cards, and other small accessories. Sliplock loops are incorporated for compatibility with ProTactic backpacks and belts. Two straps are included, and you can wear the TLZ AWs as a holster, over your shoulder, across your chest, or attached to a belt. As with the other bags in this series, an All-Weather cover is included for maximum gear protection.
