Lowepro Terraclime 100 Recycled Camera Bag (Grass) Review

Customer Ratings:

I bought this bag for its green credentials. I applaud Lowepro for incorporating recycled materials into their product line. I hope they continue to do so.

However, I feel this bag is not designed for SLRs. First of all, the bag does not retain shape. So your camera and your lens gets squished around. It barely fits a camera and a lens. Taking the camera and lens out of the bag also is not a fun experience. I like shooting a lot of pictures when I am on a trip. I take my camera in and out of my bag a lot. This bag is not practical for that.

This works well for carrying point and shoot cameras, books, cell phones, car keys and things of that nature. I ended up returning it.

This bag is more targeted towards the fashion conscious. I bought this in Dubai from Salam Stores Wafi for my Pentax K-30 Weather-Sealed 16 MP CMOS Digital SLR (Black, Body Only) with 18-135 and Sony RX-100. I already have a Lowepro Toploader Zoom 50 AW (Sea Blue) and side-by-side they're the same height.

I prefer carrying this around more for the earthy green color and it just does not stand out like the Lowepro Toploader, which is stiff has better protection but feels awkward to carry around for street photography cases.

It's built well. I believe you can add some more bottom cushioning by adding a layer or two of styrofoam.

Since Amazon never has enough decent high resolution photos of products, it would be unwise to buy any bag without actually seeing it.

i knew i wanted a camera bag that was made of recycled materials, but i couldn't decide between the 100 or 50 size of this camera bag. i read a review that the 50 was way too small. i checked the dimensions myself and wasn't sure which would fit my needs best, so i bought the larger bag. this is a great bag, and i've used it several times already on trips. it is however too big for my normal use. i can fit my compact camera, mini tripod, ipod, spare battery and sd cards all in the bag with room to spare. i would suggest this product, but i will be purchasing the smaller version for conenvience. this 100 is the same as my purse.
