Lowepro

Just a beautiful shot. I very much like the toning you chose. It enhances the subject well.

Hi Tim, thanks for your comment. Have you tried breaking it down and packing in your suitcase as a "flat" bag ready for action when you reach you destination? This seems like another good aspect of this bag.

James, you quick wit! Point well taken. Let me see if I can drum something up at HQ.

That would be fantastic! I've had 2 lowepro SLR bags so far and the belt system. Looking to get the Computrekker now since i bought a MacbookPRO. Love Lowepro and would never switch to any other bag systems. =)

Hey Glendon, I've heard that Santa is a member of this community and follows these conversations. So who knows?

bought it today, have three lens, a lot more free space + my MBP 13 fits perfectly on top of the camera and lenses :D great bag

I'm not personally familiar with retail stores in Orange County, but generally the larger camera stores have a good selection of Lowepro bags. When I'm in a new city, I try to find the store where local photographers go, then give them a call or check their web site.

The Dryzone is a great bag if you have to deal with water and possible immersion, but I really like the Pro Trekker 600AW. The 400AW is good, but I think too tight for your gear.

I agree with Ken. If you're going to be in water, the Dryzone is the only way to ensure your gear stays dry, but the 600 AW is much roomier.

And great to have you here Gavin. We cover lots of good stuff on this page. Great people hang out here.

This is on the Lowepro Web Site.
Q: How do I clean my Lowepro product?
A: Proper cleaning of all Lowepro products should be handled with care. We caution against use of any detergent and recommend mild soap. We recommend spot treating or hand washing with warm/cold water and mild soap, followed by hanging the item to dry.

That's pretty much what I did - spot treatment, after gently cleansing areas with water. Used a germ killing pad to make sure any bacteria is removed.
