Whistler 450AW II Grey

Outdoor Heavy Duty Camera Backpack

The Whistler 350AW II from Lowepro is updated to not only about 15% lighter than its predecessor, but also more spacious to accomdate more of your gear. It is ideal for photographers on the go who need a heavy duty and spacious bag with room enough for a large DSLR with an attached 70-200mm lens, 8 additional lenses plus a shoe mount or another lens. Access your camera gear inside the zippered rear compartment by a rear-facing zippered panel with a memory card pocket and two zippered organiser pockets for other smaller accessories such as hard drives and accessories. Inside this gear compartment, an adjustable partition system allows you to carry varied configurations of camera gear in a snug and safe manner. A waterproof barrier seperates an expandable zippered front compartment from the main compartment. This front compartment also features a drain hole to allow for wet outdoor items such as climbing helmet or icepick to dry. In addition, a dedicated sleeve for accomodating a 15" laptop sits between the main compartment and waterproofed front pocket. A removable floor in the top opening compartment allows access to your laptop as well as your gear, if you desire to reach for your gear from the top. Another zippered mesh accessory pocket along the inside of the top opening is ideal for items you need to keep secure but handy.

The top of the pack has a built-in handle for a quick pick-up and go. Or, carry using the adjustable padded shoulder straps that pair with a redesigned waist belt for better weight distribution when the load is heavy. A sternum strap adds to stability when carrying by limiting unintentional shifting. Tripod, monopod, trekking pole or even skis can be held up securely by integrated compression belts on the front and each side of the bag. This durable nylon construction is built to be weather-resistant and includes a built-in seam-sealed cover for use in inclement weather.
