Adapt to Every Moment

Introducing the ProTactic BP 450 AW III, part of Lowepro’s ProTactic III collection, designed for the demanding needs of the working photographer shooting events and other jobs all day and largely outdoors. Adapting day-to-day based on the location and subject. This backpack is built to adapt, offering four points of access to suit any scenario. It features dual side doors for quick access without taking the bag off, making it ideal for left-handed users as well. The wide top access is perfect for longer telephoto lenses, allowing you to get your setup in and out without opening the whole bag. Full-back access provides comprehensive gear organisation, perfect for assembling video rigs or just organising your gear for the other doors.

Innovative Divider System

The ProTactic BP 450 AW III includes a new moulded divider system with pressed ends for seamless end-to-end attachment. This lets you extend and connect dividers in new ways to adapt to your changing kit. A new divider corner detail makes the divider further conform to the angled or rounded corners in the bag to reduce gaps. MaxFit™ dividers allow precise placement to fit more.

Laptop and Accessory Carry Pockets

Inside the back door, you’ll find zippered transparent organisation pockets on top of a CradleFit laptop pocket that fits up to a 16'' MacBook Pro. The side doors have large exterior stretch pockets that hold up to a 1L bottle and are reinforced at the bottom for tripod support. Additional loops and pockets on the top of the sides allow for quick access to items and secure tripod attachment. The backpack stands upright on its own, making it easy to handle and access your gear.

SlipLock Modular Attach System and Accessories

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

Comfort

The ProTactic BP 450 AW III is engineered for comfort with a dual-density ActivZone™ harness, a SlideCam sternum strap, and a removable padded waistbelt. The moulded EVA back panel with perforation and ripple patterns enhances airflow, while the added lumbar structure provides extra support, especially when carrying a laptop. The back panel includes two grab handles which, along with top and bottom handles, give easy overhead bin access when traveling.

Sustainability and Longevity

Committed to reducing our impact on the environment, the ProTactic BP 450 AW III uses up to 86% recycled fabric by weight. These materials go through thorough lab and field testing to ensure they meet our performance and durability requirements to make a bag with longevity you can rely on. It features replaceable parts like the waistbelt and AWC, ensuring longevity and reducing environmental impact. The hybrid webbing attaches system and included accessories make this backpack a versatile and reliable companion for any photography adventure.
