In-Line Skate Wheels, Oversized Single Tube Handle System and Reinforced Construction Make It Ideal for Today's Traveling Digital PhotographerSebastopol, CA -- February 26, 2006 -- Lowepro, the worldwide leader of protective cases and backpacks for imaging products, is introducing a new rolling backpack that will make life easier for digital photographers everywhere. The new Rolling CompuTrekker AW gives photographers the tremendous transport flexibility by providing a wheeling solution for easy rolling through airports, combined with evenly balanced backpack comfort when trekking around the world. Both camera gear and notebook computers are safely protected with the reinforced construction that has made Lowepro the choice among professional photographers for more than 35 years.
In-line skate wheels, oversized single tube handle system, tuck-away shoulder harness and waist belt, removable notebook sleeve and many other features make the Rolling CompuTrekker AW a compact yet versatile rolling backpack combination. Designed to carry a 12" notebook computer, pro digital SLR, 4-5 lenses or flash units, cables and other accessories, this little bag carries it all.
"Our bags are designed not only to protect the digital gear they carry, but to help photographers be more efficient, especially out in the field," said Darren Hulsey, Product Manager of Lowepro. "This lightweight versatile combination of a rolling bag and backpack is packed with features to keep every digital photographer organized on the go," Mr. Hulsey added.
Like all Lowepro products, the new rolling backpack is designed to provide both safety and comfort in any environment. The backpack's adjustable NoDrop™ System keeps the notebook computer compartment off the ground when accessing camera gear. The Rolling CompuTrekker AW also incorporates an adjustable tuck-away backpack harness with padded, contoured shoulder straps making it one of the most comfortable harnesses available today.
The Rolling CompuTrekker AW also includes many features designed specifically for digital photographers including a built-in memory card holder for quick access and secure storage of all memory cards; laminated see-through pockets to easily locate accessories without opening a pocket; and a removable accessory pouch for storing power cables, adaptors and other digital accessories.
The backpack's rugged design protects contents from sudden impacts while its All Weather Cover(TM) offers maximum protection against rain, dust and sand. The backpack is also built using reinforced construction, shock-absorbing closed-cell foam padding and tough, water-resistant outer fabric to provide users with the safest means for transporting expensive cameras and sensitive electronics.
