Lowepro Announces Apex All-Weather Camera Pouches

Markham, ON, September 25, 2006: Lowepro is targeting the outdoor and "adventurous" photographer with a new line of digital camera pouches, shoulder bags, and a photo viewer case. The Apex line represents "the largest and most complete line of protective pouches and cases in the industry," says Daymen Photo Marketing, the Canadian distributor, "and reinforces Lowepro's position as the best selling and most respected manufacturer of protective cases and backpacks in the industry."

Apex AW shoulder bags and pouches offer quick access to a pro compact camera or digital SLR plus accessories. The Apex AW pouches also have the single-compartment design and accommodate a camera, memory card and battery or small accessories. Soft brushed-tricot lining and interior dividers guard against scratches, while Lowepro's patented All Weather Cover protects against weather, dust and sand. In addition, the new Apex PV AW pouch is designed to protect and carry a variety of digital media playback devices including photo viewers, digital storage devices and PDAs.

Other features designed into the entire line of Apex pouches and shoulder bags include a reversed zipper with silent zipper pulls to resist sand and dirt, and rubber molded bumper for additional protection.

"Now, photographers can go wherever their adventure may take them and have peace of mind that the Apex AW series is protecting their camera and accessories," said Bill Wood, Vice President Merchandise at DayMen.
