Carrying Solutions for the Imaging World
2003
Our trek started
in a small Colorado garage over 30 years ago. Since
then, we’ve been traveling the world on the backs and
shoulders of the best photographers on the planet.
We’ve learned. We’ve innovated. We’ve become a leader.
For over 30 years, we’ve worked to develop and perfect
camera carrying systems – maybe to the point of
obsession. But we’ve never stopped at just innovating
and improving products. We strongly believe that we
owe it to ourselves, and to our industry, to do whatever
we possibly can to protect and save the environment.
We take as much pride in this aspect of our business
as in the work we put into the products you’ll see
throughout this brochure.
Most of our bags were inspired by helpful advice from
you and your peers. We greatly appreciate your artistry
and input. We’ve listened carefully to your suggestions,
and we’re sure you’ll find something in these pages that’s
exactly right for you. Because wherever you go on your
next assignment, we want to be right there with you.

About Lowepro
Whether you’re shooting a rare Spirit Bear in Northern Canada or a Ferris wheel
in downtown London, you need to know that your valuable equipment is safe
from the elements. That’s why we’ve innovated such unique features as the
All Weather Cover™, to safeguard your gear from rain, dust, sand and snow, and
the OverLap Zipper™, with its reinforced walls and heavy-duty closed-cell foam,
to protect your gear from anything life throws its way.

Durability
You count on your gear not to fail, and we pride ourselves on providing
products that meet and surpass that expectation. We use superior
materials and hardware, and enforce high standards for quality
workmanship and construction. And then we test. And test some more.
Our products are used and abused all around the world. And even though
our equipment gets tossed around a lot, the gear inside often remains in
better shape than the photographers themselves.

Comfort
About Lowepro
Photo gear is heavy. We can’t change that, but the right pack can make it feel
lighter. We design our packs so that by simply adjusting weight distribution
and balance, you can be comfortable in very uncomfortable situations. Wellplaced compression straps keep the load close to your body and breathable;
and highly cushioned materials assure the ultimate in carrying comfort.

Accessibility
Innovation happens when you’re just hanging around. Photographer Florian
Wagner likes to put himself and his camera equipment in precarious positions.
Over the years, he has challenged us to create products that will withstand his
various adventures. Florian brainstormed with our design team to develop the
most accessible, comfortable and secure camera gear carrying system out there.
The initial result was the modular Street & Field System™, which has now
expanded to the SlipLock™ System.

The Lowepro SlipLock System
®
As many options as Yosemite has peaks. A tsetse fly in Botswana.
Tiger Woods at Augusta. The Bornstein bar mitzvah in Cleveland.
Every job is different. That’s why we created the SlipLock System.
The most sophisticated carrying system out there allows you to
customize all the components you need for a specific job.
You can add or subtract components at will. It’s that simple.
Start with a core system, then add whichever accessories you
prefer. Use the SlipLock attachment tabs to fasten the extras
to your base product. The result? Maximum accessibility of all
of your equipment.
The Environment
What’s the use of making products
that last forever, if the subject matter
keeps disappearing?

Bustling cities. Exotic jungles. Anywhere a

Frans Lanting
“Madagascar. Spent hours today waiting for a
chameleon shot. Fortunately, the temperament
of chameleons suits me. I am as content
watching them as they are watching their
surroundings for long periods without moving
anything but their eyes, which swivel
independently. This feature led to a popular
Malagasy proverb: ‘Like the chameleon, a
prudent person keeps one eye on the future and
the other eye on the past.’”
One of the great nature photographers of our
time, Frans sees wild creatures as ambassadors
for the preservation of ecosystems. His work
has appeared in virtually every major magazine
— including National Geographic, Life,
Audubon, Stern, Figaro, and GEO — and at
museums in Paris, Milan, Tokyo, New York and
Amsterdam. His book Madagascar: A World Out
of Time, focused international attention on the
troubled island.

and busier. The children are growing — I can’t believe our daughter is five now. Yet this place is always
here for me. And then there’s the dogwood. The shape of the branches, graphic and graceful against the
water. Photographing nature is so peaceful and reflective. But when I come here, it doesn’t matter
whether I make a photograph or not. It’s the spiritual experience.”
Author, photographer and winner of both the Ansel Adams Award and the National Parks Service
Director’s Award, William’s most recent book is Traces of Time: The Beauty of Change in Nature. He also
writes an Outdoor Photographer column.

“Off Borneo. Saw something today I’ve never seen before — a large barracuda attacked by a school of jacks.
Barracuda hovered around the school for some time, waiting to pick off stragglers. Spotted a likely target
and darted into the school. Chased off by angry jacks, nipping and baiting in self-defense. Noticed
numerous scars on barracuda — proof of previous attempts to prey on the school. Proof of school’s ability
to defend itself.”

DryZone™ 200
Yet another Lowepro innovation, the revolutionary new
DryZone™ 200 is the first soft-sided camera backpack that’s
completely waterproof. Even if this backpack falls into the water,
your photo and electronic gear is completely protected. With the
zipper closed, this unique backpack floats — even fully loaded.
The DryZone 200 has three components. At the heart of the
DryZone is a waterproof case — think of it as a drysuit for the
backpack. The drypod has a hi-tech TIZIP™ zipper that you can
close for watertight protection. When you’re away from water,
sand or snow, you can fasten an inner zipper and top clip, and
leave the TIZIP open for faster, easier access to your equipment.
Inside the drypod is a heavy-duty camera compartment,
completely customizable for a variety of systems. Wrapping it
all up is the backpack, which includes a tuck-away tripod
holder, two self-draining outer mesh pockets, generous inner
mesh pockets, a drain hole for the pack, an ergonomic, fully
adjustable backpack harness, rubber handle and attachment
loops for SlipLock™ add-ons on the padded waistbelt and the
contoured shoulder straps.

“Canyonlands. What a place! Perhaps my favorite corner of the
world! Beauty, passion, extremes of climate, limits of strength
and endurance. I wanted to show a climber small, even
insignificant against the purity of rock of form. It’s such a
pleasure to experience the desert, the sheer physical difficulty of
climbing there, the focus and concentration. To work with great
athletes in their element. Then to put the camera away and climb
for myself, to push my own limits — that’s living!”

“Cierva Cove, Antarctica. Unforgettable day. Saw a flipper in the distance — two humpback whales. Captain
killed the engine and let the boat drift. Whales just hung around at first, then started to play as the people
on board cheered. One rubbed its back against the ship — was it playing with us? Made images from a very
different perspective, looking down! My appreciation of whale intelligence grows with each new experience.”

“Canadian Rockies assignment. Thought about this shot all the way from Europe and knew exactly what I
wanted. Worked out just as planned. Spotted a lip of snow — a mini ski jump — and had the pilot drop us
off. Watched through the finder while Sepp took a few trial jumps. Not enough drama. Told him to pull
out his best move and turn in the air. Yeah! Brought the heli closer by radio and shot Sepp 10' in the air,
nose to nose with the heli — fantastic!”

Peaceful and contemplative. I saw

unusually high in protein right

“Yellowstone. Working on the elk book in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Elk are everywhere.
No hunting, and lots of tourists in the summer make these elk relatively easy to approach. They’re
unafraid. Just being elk, living their normal lives. This is the type of documentary photography I like
best. One species, long term. It’s great to go unnoticed. Most important is the well-being of the animal
and thankfully my subject shows no concern. The steam, the large bull and the contour of the river.

“Serengeti. Heard there was a leopard in the wooded area but no luck. Instead, surprised a pair of lions.
The male had so much character, sleeping but alert — and definitely weathered. Scarred face, half his tail
missing — recent wounds. Even though he roused himself and mated with the female every 15 minutes or
so, it’s obvious he won’t be able to compete with the younger males much longer. Such a contrast between
the battered warrior and the delicate flowers.”

“Banff, March 1999. Ice Nine with Alex. Sun shining through translucent ice curtain – beautiful. Warm
temperatures weakened the ice, kept us alert; an adjacent sheet of ice snapped off recently. Tons of ice
blocks scattered around. Would Ice Nine collapse? We were at the mercy of time and rising mercury. No
visible fractures . . . Alex grabbed ice tools and delicately soloed halfway up sparkling curtain of ice. Ice
felt solid, so Alex continued. Great working with Alex . . . positive and inspiring.”

Putting Your Street and Field System Together
™
Lowepro’s original and most comprehensive modular carrying system makes all kinds of sense. You choose the system you
need — and change it as often as you want. Whether you’re an outdoor photographer, a wedding photographer or a
photojournalist, you can build a personal system to fit your needs.

The SlipLock™ System
Many different bags and packs are compatible with SlipLock add-ons (a wide
variety of pouches). A reinforced attachment tab slides into any SlipLock loop and
fastens securely. Attach SlipLock add-ons to your own belt or other SlipLock
base products. Look for the “SlipLock System” logo throughout this brochure.
The Tri-Glide™ Attachment
This heavy-duty webbing system
connects an S&F Shoulder Harness or
Vest Harness to a Deluxe Waistbelt and
larger bags and packs.
Cinch Straps
Used to keep S&F
components close to the
body for stability and
freedom of movement.
Waistbelt Slot
To use with a Deluxe
Waistbelt on some of
our larger bags.
Build Your System
Begin with a core attachment system: an S&F Light Belt, a Deluxe Waistbelt with a Shoulder Harness or Vest Harness, or even your own belt.
Then add the SlipLock accessory pouches, packs or shoulder bags as needed. Here are some examples:
The Works. Choose an S&F Utility
Case, Film Drop AW, Lens Case 3,
Pouches 10, 20 and 50. Carry
them on an S&F Deluxe Waistbelt

stalks and people winnowing wheat by the fire. Figures very shadowy — almost eerie — silhouetted
against the flames. Exposed for the fire — and waited for the right moment. After almost 20 years of

Combat Mission, California © Kevin T. Gilbert — [email protected]
“California, 2001. War is hell!
Helicopters and jets screaming in
day after day, soldiers all around
firing rifles — nowhere to hide in
the desert. High-risk missions
with Navy SEALs, Green Berets
and SWAT teams, hanging out of
helicopters, disabling tanks,
rescuing downed pilots and
hostages. Easy to get killed.
Is the perfect shot worth dying
for? Don’t know how war
photographers do it — admire
their guts. Luckily no live
ammunition in reality TV.”
After a distinguished career
in photojournalism (He was a
5-term president of the White
House News Photographers’
Association), Kevin founded Blue
Pixel, which helped develop the
Nikon Digital School and is the
official photo team — digital,
of course — of Eco-Challenge.

By Special Request: The Stealth AW II
Kevin T. Gilbert, past president of the White House News Photographers’ Association, asked Lowepro to make a bag to meet the needs of
digital photojournalists. His input helped us design the Stealth AW Backpack.
Now a favorite of professional photographers as well as photojournalists, the Stealth AW backpack is small enough for the cramped spaces
of Air Force One, roomy enough for everything you need to catch the action. Attractive enough for black-tie galas. Torture tested by
international photojournalists, the Stealth AW Backpack has proven its worth in the real world.
Stealth AW II
The original Stealth — a premium backpack for on-the-go
digital photojournalists and sports photographers is now sized
to fit the Apple® G4 notebook. Beneath the discreet exterior,
there’s room (and protection) for a notebook, digital camera
system, overnight essentials and a small virtual office. And
with all the pockets on the backpack and the notebook case,
it’s easy to stay organized. You can adjust the removable,
padded notebook case for left or right access — or use the
case separately on its own shoulder strap. The Stealth AW II
has an adjustable backpack harness; sternum strap and back
pad with DryFlo™ mesh; and an All Weather Cover™ for
protection from rain, snow and dust. The included Cell Phone
Pouch can be detached and fastened to a belt.

Apsara dancers, Cambodia © Rosanne Pennella — www.rosannepennella.com
Rosanne Pennella
“Cambodia. Pure magic here, way more than I had imagined. Past and present seem linked, like
nowhere else on earth. The dancers are incredible — ancient Cambodians revered dancers as living
incarnations of goddesses. Amazing they survived Pol Pot, who tried to destroy Cambodian culture and
history. Many dancers were killed — destroying a living link with Cambodia’s past. How could they
murder women like these? It’s eerie. This woman looked at me, and it felt as if an ancient dancer from
the walls of a stone temple had come to life.”

to donate to American Friends of Cambodia Trust, which helps land mine and polio victims.

glistening boots — a stark contrast against the green. After the past year, our anthem and the hands
together around our flag really got to me.”

Yesterday in the studio. Today on location.
Where will you be tomorrow?
Douglas Kirkland
“1974, Assignment for a new magazine, People.
Showed up at Jack Nicholson’s home in
Hollywood this morning. He’d forgotten I was
coming, yet welcomed me — not fazed by my
unexpected appearance. Everything very
relaxed and low-key. Just the two of us,
shooting when and where we pleased. Maybe
that’s why he was so playful, even hamming it
up for me. It felt like good friends having fun
together. He got this devilish look in his eyes —
they’re strange eyes — and said, “Why don’t I
smoke a match.” Before I knew it, he’d stuck a
match in his mouth and lit it. Two seconds later,
the match went out.”
The cover shot of Jack was People
magazine’s best-selling issue of the year. Like
many of Douglas’s images of celebrities, it has
become an icon. Last year, Douglas won an
Italian lifetime achievement award for a life
in photography.

“The Experience Music Project, Seattle. There must be a million landscapes in that building. Extremely
exciting. Organic, just like a landscape — I could see Tuscany, the hills east of Siena. I could shoot with
no reference to scale. It could be jewelry or sculpture. There’s nothing to say it was metal roof shingles.
Nothing to say that it was a large area of the building. Gehry’s work is a magnet for me. No grid — just
sculptural forms that curve sensuously in every direction.”

he also leads photo workshops and is writing his first book.

Wedding photographers, architectural photographers and
commercial location photographers will welcome the convenience
of this hardworking case. The generous interior holds complete
location gear including lighting and up to an 8 x 10 camera system.
Two removable tripod/light stand holders carry that essential
hardware. A bungee cord system lets you add additional large
camera bags or a briefcase. Exceptionally large laminated mesh
pockets look after reflectors, gels and gel holders. Includes
lockable zipper tabs, removable padded handle, SlipLock

Designed to be a workhorse, the Pro Roller 3 is one of the
strongest shipping cases out there. Underneath the ballistic
exterior fabric, there’s an inner casing made of the same ultrastrong, light, resilient ABS plastic used in crash helmets. In fact,
everything about this case is tough. It’s constructed with screws,
not rivets. The wheel-and-handle system is heavy-duty, with
oversize molded plastic bumpers. Even the divider system has
the strength of rigid plastic, covered with extra foam padding and
soft tricot lining to keep equipment snug and safe. When there’s
a sharp impact, your equipment is protected.

“The Falkirk Mansion, San Rafael, California. An ideal place to shoot a wedding. Or so I thought. Awesome
mansion, 1800’s architecture, gorgeous grounds. Bright and sunny — perfect for the wedding. Awful for
me. No shade, noon light too contrasty to shoot outdoors. Checked indoors — people everywhere.
Caterers. Florists. Chaos! Fierce heat and no air conditioning!! Opened the windows to catch the breeze.

could I resist all that history? One building drew me in. Think it was a town center, then a movie theater.

could look with infrared film. Good thing it works with the harsh midday light when I’m actually out of

“September 2002. Loved marbles as a kid — we all had them. Metal marbles very special. Remembered that
in the ball-bearing factory last week. Metal marbles everywhere — thousands of them. Mentioned how
much I would have given for them back when I was a kid! They gave me a handful. Few days later, model
brought her friend along. Interesting girl. I asked to shoot her as well. Thought of the marbles and decided
to put friend and marbles together. Marbles had to go in her mouth (the only place they would stay!). My
childhood dream come to life.”

“Anthrax in Dallas. Finally got a
chance to shoot the band — and
get paid for it! What a blast!
Been a fan since I was
skateboarding at 16.
Challenging, though. Club
packed. No photo pit — shot at
my own peril. People moshing
around, jostling the camera.
Anthrax really on tonight. Then
right out of the blue, there it
was. Scott raised his hand into
the light. Everything clicked in.
His arm, his head, his guitar.
Pure Scott!”

“Fiji. Honored to be asked to a
kava ceremony at the chief’s hut
in a remote village. Came out
and felt eyes looking at me —
three girls in the window. They
didn’t speak English, I don’t
speak Fijian. Motioned them to
get together and give me a big
smile. They must have picked up
on my happiness — the camera
looks both ways. Didn’t need to
use my magic tricks to get
big grins.”

[Dewitt] “Scotland. There I was, standing on a front-end loader
full of sheep manure, wondering how the hell I got there. The
storyboard said a thousand sheep and a red Morgan in a Scottish
town. A thousand sheep – no problem. A small town. Big problem!
They said the town would smell for weeks. (They’re right!) Couldn’t
rent a red Morgan at Hertz – or anywhere in Scotland. Found one
for sale in England. Buy a Morgan on this budget? Yeah, right!
Finally found one, but the owner wants to drive it. He’d have to
be a 400-pound troll for me to say no. We got the sheep and the car
together. The sheep started jumping straight up in the air. High
Aficionado
Walk like a pro. Talk like a pro.
Pro or not, you just love it.
enough to land on the Morgan. The owner was terrified they’d
wreck his car. Me too. It costs a fortune to fix a trashed Morgan.
So I grabbed the front-end loader as fast as I could.
Now I’m going to smell for weeks!”
Dewitt’s career includes work for National Geographic,
advertising clients, nine books (his latest: The Nature of
Leadership, with Stephen Covey) and an Outdoor Photographer

“San Rafael Desert. Left the campsite at dawn and spotted an arroyo carpeted in green. I rushed to grab
the shot before the light changed. Just one problem. The moisture that brought flowers also brought black
flies and I was in shorts. Big mistake! Danced the insect dance, got off a few sheets of film and got the
hell out. What I go through to get a shot! But it was nothing compared to the adventure with Africanized
bees in Arizona. What is it with me and swarms of insects?”
Jack, Pulitzer Prize winner and champion of North American deserts, worked to help create Sierra
Alamos National Park (Mexico) and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (USA).

“Iceland. A crazy, windy day! Too windy for the puffins to fly and I really wanted those puffins to fly. Almost
stayed in the hotel. But I had come too far to sit indoors. Got my tractor ride across the quicksands to the
headland. Strong gusts were blowing the puffins right off the cliff. Instead of flying out to sea as usual,
they hovered like hawks trying to get back to land. Amazing! I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Imogene Cove, Lake Superior © Gary McGuffin — www.adventurers.org
Joanie & Gary McGuffin
[Gary] “Imogene Cove. Day 36. After a 60-km paddle, reached the ghost town, Pukaskwa Depot, a 1930’s
logging camp, just before the storm hit. Lightning stabbed the distant horizon as I raced down the beach.
Just setting up the tripod — suddenly everything turned pink …water, beach, tent. A storm line, white
against dark cloud swept over in the shape of an eagle’s feather. Took shelter quickly as heavy rain pelted
the bay, washing out the creek bed I shot earlier — creek already carving a new path to the lake.”

“My favorite meadow. Still love
these early mornings. Cool and

never tire of them. Just wish

“Key West Race week. The biggest regatta in the world. Everyone’s here. Same guys I see everywhere,
but it’s Key West, so they’ve gotta show off all their new stuff. Boats, sails, gear. Lucked out with
conditions. Big seas, mostly sunshine, interesting clouds and lots of breeze. Got a shot of boats behind
a big swell today. Very different. Made it look like some competitors would finish at the bottom of the
Atlantic, but a good, dramatic composition.”
Onne, a top sailing photographer, competed in the demanding Whitbread round-the-world race and
sailed around the Horn three times. His work appears regularly in SAIL, Outside Magazine and The New
York Times. Last year he opened a new gallery — nautically themed, of course — in Newport, RI.

[Brad] “Lake Louise, Winter 2001. This was a new one: dogsledding.
Barking, yapping dogs — NOISY! Hard to think clearly. Chatted with
M about how to pull it off. M sat in sled, me on front. Good shots
initially, not inspired. Next: me on trail, sled zooming by and
panning the action. M threw me lenses and changed film. I ran next
to sled, tripped & SLAM! Me and camera ate snow. Tried again. Got
the pan. Better! What inspired me? Ahhha! The dogs!!! Effort! Quick
plan, yelling above howls of dogs — they wanted to run. M hands
me wide glass. Me on trail waiting for dogs. Suddenly sled came
straight for me. Running, trying to run faster — backward! Not easy.

“New York. Character shots — demanding to take. Try
to give each actor a different look. Want to capture
both the character of the actor and the character he’s
playing. Always trying to catch the dramatic point of
the scene. Easy to get the comedic ones looking
playful, more challenging to show intensity. Like to
have intense actors look straight at me. If I’m lucky,
the image hints at the person behind that intensity.
This time, the eyes say it all.”

“Canadian Arctic. Have come here for 25 years for the icebergs. Shimmering at first light, water rushing down
their flanks, they seem alive. Shapes take on animal forms — set my imagination on fire. Would have loved
to ride this magnificent berg as polar bears do. Not wise. Probably weighed a million tons — icebergs can
flip, calve off immense chunks and send monstrous waves everywhere. Better to sit in my kayak — at a safe
distance — and marvel at this glorious creation of the Greenland icecap.”
