Congratulations! Your search is FINALLY over., February 1, 2007
Look no more. You’ve spent precious time and money trying to find the perfect bag and every one comes up short for one reason or another. You do your research and just when you think you’ve found your perfect bag your disappointed once again.
Well, I’ve got good news for you gadget gurus. This is without a doubt the best all around bag available today. Just when you thought every iteration of camera bag had already been invented and that you were consigned to a life of half baked solutions along comes Lowepro with this marvelous innovative bag. Tamarac may have invented the “sling” bag but leave it to Lowepro to perfect the idea into a nearly perfect solution.
This bag is easy to carry and does NOT cause that most nagging of camera bag woes, the dreaded shoulder strain. It is of sufficient size to carry everything I need INCLUDING my hi-definition video camera. And if this bag is too big for you – not to worry! Get the 200 AW or even the smaller 100 AW.
Access to your camera equipment while walking about is a snap! Or should I say a zip. simply rotate the camera bag around to your front and everything you need is readily accessible. And the scourge of backpacks, namely the equipment falling out, is avoided by two clips which keep you from opening the bag too far.
This is the perfect day bag for short hikes or city trekking – take your pick. Do yourself a favor and buy this bag or one its little brothers, the 100 AW or the 200 AW.

The bag although nice was much smaller than I thought based upon the picture. The male model must be a smaller then average person since the bag appears to be of fairly good size. As a comparison; I have used a Lowepro Street and Field Rover backpack for years. The Rover is much bigger and holds more. I’m now on the lookout for a better bag from a different manufacturer. IMO, Lowe Pro really shouldn’t advertise their bags as All Weather when you have to put a separate waterproof cover over it to make it All Weather.

I was disappointed when I recieved this bag. The build quality is excelent, and the padding are thick and sturdy. However, I was disappoinged about the camera body compartement. I have the Evolt 500. The camera was wobbly and was not secured in place. This is not a small camera; it is DSLR. There is no support for the camera body on the sides, and that is why is was wobbly.

Love the design and convenience. The sling design is perfect.
The build quality, though, is awful. After a year of intermittent use, one zipper has failed entirely, another zipper is getting hinky, and the buckles are starting to feel weak.
