The black Adventura BP 300 III Backpack from Lowepro is a classic photography pack useful for transporting, organizing, and protecting your entire kit. The Adventura BP 300 has plenty of room to organize a camera body with a full kit of lenses. It offers convenient front access and has a 13'' laptop pocket. The pack holds a full-frame mirrorless camera, including a Sony Alpha 7-9 series with a lens attached, plus four additional lenses, or a foldable drone like the DJI Mavic Pro 2. There is a pocket for a 13" laptop plus space for small accessories. The large side pocket accommodates a compact tripod, including a GorillaPod 5K or a Befree Advanced. The front of the pack has a tripod attachment that holds a larger tripod.
The bag meets Lowepro's environmental efforts, with up to 88% Green Line fabrics used. Lowepro has achieved this by using recycled and solution-dyed fabrics, which saves water and reduces GHG emissions. This is measured following the GRI 301-2 standard, with the percentage of the recycled fiber used, compared to the total fiber used by weight.
Green Line Update
Lowepro's popular Adventura collection has been updated with the Green line process, which means it's now made from recycled and solution-dyed fabric. The Green Line is represented by a loading bar, indicating the percentage of recycled and solution-dyed fabrics used when manufacturing bags.
Solution-Dyed Fabrics
Lowepro's new bags are made from dope-dyed black fabrics and recycled linings/webbings, to reduce water use and CO2 emissions.
Dope-dyeing, also called solution or spun dyeing, is a production technique to color synthetic fibers such as acrylic, nylon, and polyester. With this technique pigments are added to the liquid polymer solution before synthetic fibers are extruded. Instead of traditional wet yarn dyeing, in which the yarn is knitted or weaved first into a fabric which is then dyed as a whole, dope dyed yarn is the opposite. Traditional wet dyeing has created problems for both the environment and human health. Large amounts of chemicals and dyes are used in wet processing, wasting water and releasing dangerous chemicals into the environment. Using dope-dyed fabrics reduces greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and chemical usage.
