Woodcliff Lake, NJ—Newly added to Lowepro’s portfolio are the Lowepro PhotoSport X Backpack 35L AW, PhotoSport X Backpack 45L AW as well as the GearUp Pro Camera Box XXL II.
We recently unboxed the PhotoSport X Backpack 35L AW and the GearUp Pro Camera Box L to see what they were all about. You can find that video here.
Lowepro crafted its PhotoSport X backpacks specifically for outdoor photography enthusiasts. From mountaineering to ice and rock climbing, overnight hikes and ski touring, the backpacks are purpose-built to meet the unique demands of adventure photographers. Additionally, the use of recycled materials reinforces Lowepro’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact.
“One of the primary features of the PhotoSport X is its at-your-ready camera access and adaptable camera-carry system, guaranteeing that photographers are always prepared to shoot without compromising on safety. This feature empowers photographers to focus on their craft and seize extraordinary moments amidst challenging conditions,” Lowepro announced.
Lowepro PhotoSport X Backpack 35L AW
The PhotoSport X 35L is for professional photographers and videographers who need a lightweight, rugged pack. Capable of withstanding extreme conditions and mountaineering environments, Lowepro made the pack with intense daily and overnight photography and videography missions in mind.
Furthermore, “X” stands for cross-functionality. Consequently, the PhotoSport X is the best-performing sport camera bag in Lowepro’s range. It’s an option as a camera pack for skiing and beyond. The backpack is designed to cover all the activities practiced in the mountains yearlong. As a result, it offers features dedicated to carrying ice axes, ropes, climbing equipment, skis, a helmet and all the key mountaineering essentials. We found the versatile compartments easy to access and a safe and secure way to keep your gear safe during even the most challenging outdoor activities.
The backpack also has a new suspended insert connection that gives better protection and stabilization for Lowepro’s GearUp Pro camera inserts.The insert is securely connected and provides quick and easy access to your gear when needed. The pack is compatible with the GearUp Camera Box L and XL. However, PhotoSport X packs are not provided with camera inserts, so professionals have the freedom of choice to suit their assignments.
We tried out the GearUp Camera Box L and found it roomy and adjustable for a number of photo gear combinations. By suspending the insert, the equipment has serious protection on all sides.
The 35L is made of 86% recycled fabric with 100% recycled 420D nylon oxford and 420D recycled nylon diamond ripstop, with carbonate coating on the bottom. It also has a 200D recycled polyester lining. What’s more, it includes an all-weather cover to protect gear from rain, snow and dust.
