There is no question that Lowepro makes some of the best photography backpacks on the market today. In line with Lowepro’s tradition of making high-quality, all-weather backpacks and protective cases – they have launched the Vertex-series designed for the adventure bound photographer or sports photojournalist. The Vertex backpacks use a rugged exterior design with water resistant zippers and a seam-sealed Lowepro All Weather Cover that protects gear even in the most harsh outdoor environments.

Designed to deliver maximum comfort with minimal bulk, the Vertex series is capable of carrying 1-2 pro digital SLR units, a large 35mm or medium format system, a number of lenses, a tripod or monopod, a flash and digital accessories. Exterior features include the All Weather Cover, Lowepro's adjustable Glide-Lockâ„¢ accessory attachment system for securing tripods and other outdoor accessories, two outer pockets for memory cards and filters, plus a mid-pocket which is large enough for most notebook computer models. On the inside, you will find adjustable padded dividers with side velex-lining and additional accessory pockets.
