Lowepro Adventura TLZ Press Release

Introducing a protective and perfect-fitting toploading bag expressly designed
for today’s best-selling, compact DSLR kits.

(Sebastopol, CA, August 2, 2010) – Lowepro, the leading brand of protective gear for photography equipment and portable electronics, introduces the Adventura TLZ series of toploading bags. An extension of the popular Adventura shoulder bag series, this new design offers new compact DSLR users and photo enthusiasts alike an easy-to-use carrying and storage solution for their compact camera kit investment.

"Our Adventura collection offers the consumer a great value, and this latest toploading design is no exception," said Treg Tyler, Lowepro worldwide marketing director. "The Adventura TLZ is loaded with many useful and convenient features, yet it’s so lightweight and compact—you’ll find it easy to carry every day and place into a larger bag for travel," he added.

The Adventura TLZ provides a snug-fitting design, sized to fit a wide range of today’s best-selling compact DSLR models. Inside, Lowepro’s fully padded and protective interior is lined in a contrasting burnt orange offering high visibility to gear. The soft, tricot lining is brushed to help protect delicate LCD screens and lenses from scratches and dust.

Lowepro’s protective OverLap Zipper™ with a rainflap lid shelters gear from dust, sand and rain and covers the zippered closure while carried or stored. Durable, water-resistant outer fabrics offer additional protection from moisture and abrasion.

The convenient access lid opens toward the body, so the photographer can grab gear, change a filter or battery and shoot with ease. A easy-to-access zippered front pocket with dedicated space for a memory card provides secure storage for filters, small accessories or personal items and spare memory.

The Adventura TLZ offers multiple carrying options: a padded grab handle; a built-in belt loop; and a removable shoulder strap that adjusts for a custom fit and includes a non-slip patch and sturdy snaphooks for easy connections.

Two stretchy, pleated side pockets round out the full list of features and provide a quick way to store and grab lens caps, accessories and other essentials.

The new Adventura TLZ series is available in two sizes in Black: Adventura TLZ 25 and Adventura TLZ 15.
