Lowepro Announces New Series of Distinctive Shoulder Bags Classified AW Designed for the Professional Photographer

Markham, Ontario, Canada, December 9, 2008
Lowepro, creator of innovative carrying solutions for the imaging world, announces the launch of Classified AW, a new breed of camera bags specifically designed for pro photographers.
This series of distinctive bags represents Lowepro’s continuous design commitment to the professional photographer, created with the unique requirements of the photojournalist in mind. Classified AW shoulder bags conceal photographers’ gear (and their mission) with a discreet and slim profile, contoured to be comfortable, move easily with the body.

A large-capacity, fast-access main compartment with an angled opening stays stable and secure while grabbing a camera, making a lens change or rushing to the next location. Fully collapsible, removable padding allows custom organization of gear and folds down for easy packing.
Additional premium features include: removable memory card wallet; padded shoulder strap with camera keeper to prevent sliding; removable 3-point stabilizing strap to minimize movement; zippered gusset to customize carrying capacity; full-grain, leather-trimmed divider system to cradle fragile equipment; built-in microfiber cloth to protect LCD screen; leather handle for added comfort and additional carrying option; and Lowepro’s patented, built-in All Weather Cover™ to protect gear from the elements.
Available in 4 sizes and 2 colours (Black, Sepia) and will accommodate camera, lenses and accessories, plus a padded compartment that fits a 15.4” widescreen notebook in the largest model (250 AW).
