Our opinion
Probably the best investment of all our equipment. During our travels, the Lowepro ProTactic BP 350 AW quickly established itself as a reliable and practical everyday bag. We particularly appreciated the modularity of the interior, thanks to its scratch system, which enabled us to reorganize the space according to the equipment we were taking along: lenses, drone, action cam, but also poncho, food or other accessories depending on the day’s outing. Multiple access points, on the top and sides, are a real asset for changing lenses or grabbing accessories without putting the bag on the ground – very practical in town or out in nature. The integrated waterproof tarpaulin is also very useful, especially in wet conditions such as in Colombia. Carrying comfort is excellent, even when fully loaded, thanks to ergonomic shoulder straps and a padded back that distributes weight evenly. On the downside, the utilitarian design can be a little eye-catching in busy urban areas. Even so, for those traveling with a sturdy but not oversized photo kit, this bag remains sturdy, well thought-out and durable, offering intuitive organization and quick access to essentials.
