* Lowepro creates bags and backpacks designed to suit the needs of photographers
* Variety of sizes and styles from city carry to durable outdoor packs
* The bags are designed to store additional camera accessories as well
The American accessories brand, Lowepro, started in 1967 in Colorado, where Greg Lowe invented the first internal frame backpack, and since then, the company has expanded to a variety of sizes and styles of durable, well-made bags and accessories. Their goal is to assist you in finding the ideal camera bag for your photography journey, whether that means a compact sling you can toss over one arm and take with you on urban shoots, or a large, durable backpack that can carry more than just your camera essentials while you traverse a mountain.
Designed in Northern California, each bag is then lab-tested to ensure its durability and longevity. In contrast to a standard bag or backpack, Lowepro bags are made especially for photographers, meaning they are designed to provide easy access points to your equipment for whenever inspiration strikes, and also contain custom pockets for accessories like additional memory cards and lenses. They’re also built with durable materials to cradle and protect your precious investments, meaning both your camera and the memories they store.
