Lowepro ProTactic 450 Backpack Review
"Beefy. Tactical. "
Burly, tactical looks with protection enough to satisfy just about all of us. Built in rain fly. Huge #10 zipper all around. Very solid option for intense camera carry.
More on the Lowepro ProTactic 450 Backpack
What I like
- Super beefy, with a big curvy top opening
- Side door access on both sides
- Big see-everything organization on the back panel
- No cube inside: everything is organized right against the bag, which feels different and slightly better
Watch for
- If you like a removable camera cube, this isn't that. My two most-used camera bags (DB Journey Ramverk Pro, Shimoda Action X) are both cube-inside, so go with what you like
Specs
- 28L, holds a pro DSLR kit plus 5 lenses
- 6.2 lb
- Recycled 210D nylon ripstop, recycled 600D and 900D polyester
