The grey Fastpack BP 250 AW III from Lowepro is a versatile backpack that features two main compartments, including a camera compartment along the base of the bag that can be used to hold a small DSLR or mirrorless camera body with three or four lenses, including an attached 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. Positioned so that it can be reached when the bag is rotated from one's back to front with its left side facing upward, the camera compartment's zippered, peel-away opening includes an internal clip system that allows the wearer to ensure that the zippered opening provides side access only. Alternatively, the clip system can be released so that the peel-away opening can be fully unzipped and retracted, enabling complete access to the camera compartment such as when the bag is placed on a flat surface with its backpack straps facing downward. Above the camera compartment, a top-facing zippered storage compartment can accommodate packable clothing and features organizer pockets which can be used to store travel documents, camera batteries, memory cards, or small electronics.

When the Fastpack BP 250 AW III is in use, a dedicated zippered compartment for a 13" laptop rests directly behind the shoulders, followed by the two main compartments. For items that need to be accessed quickly and conveniently, the front panel includes a top-facing zippered pocket. This pocket can be used as a space for a notepad, maps, or snacks; and its zipper, like the zippers for the bottom camera compartment and the top storage compartment, includes a large pull that can be easily gripped. While a stretchable side pocket on the wearer's right side can hold a water bottle; a small tripod or monopod can instead be stored within the side pocket and further secured using the retaining strap located above that pocket.

Constructed for durability while remaining lightweight, the Fastpack BP 250 AW III is built to be weather resistant and includes a seam-sealed cover for use under heavy rain.
