Lowepro Photo Trekker AW

mick johnson · 2 Dec 2008

Does anyone have this bag, not the new 'AW II' version, or the 'Classic' but the one in between.

I'm after the spec's of it (interior size and weight etc) but can't find anything at all. It is a discontinued bag but I think it's much lighter than the new one and the same size.

If anyone can point me to an old review or similar I would be very gratefull.

Take a look on

its a great site for browsing bags before you pull the trigger and buy

Thank's for that Leon but I can't find anything on there.

Sorry - thats the first place I normally look for bags and they have reviews of new and older bags with stuff actually in them so you can gauge the size etc - the one you are after must be a pretty niche bag or only had a short run - as you say, I can find the classic and the AWII but nothing inbetween - good luck with your search

Yeah, very short run I think.

Perhaps says it all really.

Has anyone got the newer Photo Trekker AW II, if so, can you get a 15" laptop in the front pocket.

Might be worth a call to Daymen International (Lowepro's owners)

They were supremely helpful when I tore the zip on my nature trekker.

I'm certain they will have the info you need in their archives.

Interestingly I have the AWII, the mesh pockets at the side have come away at the seams. It seems this is a manufacturing fault, will get it replaced when I can do without my bag for a few weeks (i.e. never!)
