Lowepro alerts Facebook fans to new green bags
If you're already one of the 161 "fans" of Lowepro on Facebook, you probably know that a few days ago the bag and case manufacturer posted pictures and descriptions of six new products on its page.
Most of the bags are line extensions, such as the SlingShot 350 AW that includes "a customizable main compartment that comfortably fits a professional DSLR with a 70-200 f/2.8 lens attached plus 5-6 extra lenses or accessories." However, on August 1 the company announced a new line of eco-conscious multipurpose bags under the name Terraclime.
The series of bags are constructed of 100 percent post-consumer, recycled Cyclepet exterior fabric with a protective layer of spacer mesh made of 60 percent recycled PET. Plastic regrind, recycled, and repurposed industrial trimmings were saved from the factory floor for the hardware.
