Lowepro Photo Trekker AW camera backpack

A large, very well-designed backpack-style camera bag that safely stores your DSLR or mirrorless camera, plus lenses, accessories and even a small tripod.
Carry it either as a bag or as a super-comfortable backpack that holds your gear in perfect, padded safety.
This is the original Lowepro Photo Trekker AW, not the slightly later AW II model. The current equivalent would be the Lowepro BP450 AW II.
Loads of user-friendly features - Lowepro truly thought of everything when they designed this bag!
