How It's Made

Lowepro Green Line label shows the percentage of recycled fabrics reached through the use of fully recycled fabrics and recycled/virgin yarn blends were used to make the bag-this bag is made with 85% recycled materials

Water-resistant and wear-resistant 420D nylon shell is lightweight and strong

Exterior Carbonate coating makes it easy to wash dirt, dust, and mud off without leaving a residue

The bottom panel is made of 420D diamond ripstop to add better abrasion resistance

Eleven compression straps help to stabilize the load inside the bag, squeezing the load closer to the internal frame to draw the weight closer to the body for better weight transfer and balance

Front and back gear access allows you to install the GearUp Pro XL and decide on how you want to access your camera gear

Top access to main storage compartment with a drawstring closure and removable top flap to give a little extra room when you need to stuff just a little more gear into the pack

All-Weather rain cover offers maximum protection and is coloured bright orange to signal in case of emergency

How You Wear It

ActivLift harness system can be adjusted for a custom fit with load-lifter straps, adjustable torso length and yoke angle—the torso length has an adjustment range from 14" to 19"

Internal aluminium frame increases stability and comfort

Fully adjustable padded backpack straps with an ergonomic curve for maximum comfort

Strap length is sized for small to medium torsos with a curve towards the end for a better fit and comfort—Ideal fit for people measuring 5' 1" to 5' 10" tall

Shoulder straps are made with a foam flexing system that is zoned—the top half of the strap has a more supportive foam geometry while the lower half of the foam is more flexible to accommodate different shapes

Sternum strap with quick-release buckle adds stability—strap can be moved up and down on the backpack straps for proper placement based on torso length

A wide padded waist belt is adjustable from 28" to 48" and helps to transfer the load to your hips, eliminates swaying and swinging during strenuous activity, like climbing over rocks, and keeps the pack's weight close to your centre of gravity for greater stability and safety

The waist belt is designed to pivot separately from, yet supportive, of the pack so that your hips and shoulders can move more freely when you're going uphill or crossing uneven terrain

Waist belt pads can be adjusted along their length for proper placement on critical points to pad the load
