Lowepro Introduces Trekker Lite Collection
2 September 2022
Lowepro has announced its Trekker Lite collection that includes a 24L and 16L backpack, an all-new sling bag and a hip bag, available in all-black or black gray.
Easy to stow away, with soft structures and lots of useful modular design features, all the pieces work together. You can create the ideal configuration for your particular photographic needs. The collection also gives outdoor adventure photographers the robust, cleverly designed kit they demand and with a much-reduced environmental impact.
Lowepro's commitment to better protecting the natural world adventure photographers celebrate is now clearly flagged by the green line label the company has recently introduced. The Lowepro green line loading bar indicates the percentage of recycled fabric -- including all fabrics, webbings, bindings, zipper tape, cords and meshes -- and the percentage of solution-dyed fabric used to build each bag. It's measured following the GRI 301-2 standard.

1kgSolution-dyeing (also known as sun-dyeing or dope-dyeing) combines the extrusion and dyeing processes, adding dye to the polymer solution rather than dyeing the finished fabric in a separate step. For Lowepro, this means an overall water saving of 80 percent and a significant reduction in carbon emissions. The soft construction of the collection also allows the company to nest multiple bags together when shipping, saving up to 40 percent volume compared to un-nested shipping.
Overall the Trekker Lite Collection achieves up to 81 percent on the Lowepro green line.
Pricing range from $62.99 to $167.99. For more information see the news release below.
