Lowepro ProTactic BP 450 AW III

The Lowepro ProTactic BP 450 AW III is part of Lowepro's ProTactic III collection and designed for the demanding needs of the working photographer who shoots events and other jobs all day, and spends most of their time outdoors. Adapts daily based on location and subject. Built to adapt, this backpack offers four access points for every scenario. It has dual side doors for quick access without taking the bag off, making it ideal for left-handed users. The wide top access is perfect for longer telephoto lenses, allowing you to get your setup in and out without having to open the entire bag. The full rear access provides extensive gear organization, perfect for mounted video rigs or just organizing your gear.

The ProTactic BP 450 AW III features a new molded divider system with pressed ends for seamless attachment of the beginning to the end. This allows you to extend and connect dividers in new ways to adapt to your changing gear. A new divider corner detail allows the divider to further conform to bevelled or rounded corners inside the bag to reduce gaps. MaxFit dividers ensure precise placement to help you carry more.

On the back, you’ll find clear zippered storage pockets atop a CradleFit laptop sleeve that fits a MacBook Pro up to 16”. Side doors have large stretch pockets on the outside that can hold a 1L bottle and are reinforced at the bottom to support a tripod. Additional loops and pockets on the top of the sides provide quick access to items and secure tripod attachment. The pack stands upright, making it easy to handle and access your gear.

The exterior features a hybrid webbing attachment system that wraps from the front to the top of the pack and onto the strap. This hybrid system is compatible with the wider SlipLock tabs and standard MOLLE or PALS pouches. The following accessories are included and can be attached to the SlipLock system: 1 zip pouch, 1 drawstring pouch for a 1L bottle or tripod feet and 2 Quick Straps with new custom gatekeepers for secure attachment, 1 All Weather Cover (AWC).

The ProTactic BP 450 AW III is designed for comfort with a dual-density ActivZone harness, a SlideCam sternum strap, and a removeable padded hip belt. The molded EVA back panel with perforation and crinkle patterns improves airflow, while the added lumbar structure provides additional support, especially when carrying a laptop.
