(Sebastopol, CA, March 1, 2010) — Lowepro, the leading brand of protective gear for photography equipment and portable electronics, unveils two new models in its Ridge series of protective pouches.

"Our best-selling Ridge series now offers consumers the ability to fit and protect models such as the ultra-slim Nikon® Coolpix S220 to the megapixel Canon® PowerShot G11," she added.

The two new models provide the same thoughtful and practical features inherent in Lowepro's expansive Ridge series, such as: a slim and compact profile; zippered memory card pocket; brushed tricot lining to protect LCD screen and lens; expandable front pocket for extra batteries or small accessories; and multiple carrying options with a built-in belt loop and an adjustable/detachable shoulder strap.

The Ridge 5 and 35 are available in Black, Red and Arctic Blue. The complete Ridge series now includes the following models: Ridge 5, Ridge 10, Ridge 20, Ridge 30 and Ridge 35. All colors & sizes may not be available in all countries. Check with your local distributor for availability.
