The exterior fabric is coated with PU lamination, making it waterproof and providing protection from the elements. The bag can hold a DSLR or mirrorless camera with lens, such as a Sony Alpha 7 series, along with 2-4 additional lenses. It’s ideal for both novice and professional photographers.

Green Line Update

Lowepro’s popular Adventura collection has been updated with the Green line process, which means it’s now made from recycled and solution-dyed fabric. The Green Line is represented by a loading bar, indicating the percentage of recycled and solution-dyed fabrics used when manufacturing bags.

Solution-Dyed Fabrics

Lowepro’s new bags are made from dope-dyed black fabrics and recycled linings/webbings to reduce water use and CO2 emissions.

Dope-dyeing, also called solution or spun dyeing, is a production technique to colour synthetic fibres such as acrylic, nylon, and polyester. This technique adds pigments to the liquid polymer solution before synthetic fibers are extruded. Instead of traditional wet yarn dyeing, in which the yarn is knitted or weaved first into a fabric which is then dyed as a whole, dope dyed yarn is the opposite. Traditional wet dyeing has created problems for both the environment and human health. Large amounts of chemicals and dyes are used in wet processing, wasting water and releasing dangerous chemicals into the environment. Using dope-dyed fabrics reduces greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and chemical usage.
