The Lowepro Classified AW Series

Hardworking bags specifically designed for the hardworking photojournalists who carry them. These nimble, fast-access bags have a modern, off-hours appeal. A slimmer profile, contoured to move easily with the body, helps the professional navigate a busy street in Prague or a crowded subway in New York. Soft edges, briefcase styling, leather details at contact points, and an embossed logo create a discreet aesthetic. The built-in patented All Weather Cover™ protects contents from the elements while getting to the next assignment by bicycle, bus, motorcycle or foot. Available in a range of sizes and models to accommodate cameras, lenses and accessories, including a notebook in the largest shoulder bag model.

The original Classified AW shoulder bag series, launched in the fall of 2008, is the Best Photo of Bag of 2009 award winner of Europe's prestigious Technical Imaging Press Association (TIPA). Read the press release.

A pro's point-of-view

Andrew Kornylak (left), Lowepro Photography Showcase photographer and man about town (and Disneyland!) blogs about our Classified AW shoulder bag series.

His quote: "The bag is very well-balanced and contours well on your body, but the inner sanctum is still well-padded for camera gear and keeps its shape. It's deeper than the average camera bag, which is nice when you need to stack lenses (I always do anyway) or throw your saddled-up DSLR back in the bag real quick with the lens hood still attached. The main zipper, with big, stiff pull-tabs on either end, is smooth and easy to use one-handed. Since the zipper is on the flap rather than under it, you aren't in danger of the whole thing turning over or falling open if you pick it up by the carrying handles with the zipper open."

The product designer's inspiration

"As a designer, I think Classified AW takes a no-nonsense approach to beauty and functionality…its grit and its polish blend to create a classic. As a photographer, it comes as close to the "perfect" bag as any I have used.

In the end, a bag such as this will be judged on its merits. I am confident you will find it meets your most exacting standards. Use it well and enjoy."
