Quality of Lowepro bags?

I've read some mixed reviews about the quality of Lowepro bags on the Internet, anyone here with first hand experience?

I've got like 4 of them. Perhaps some people have had issues with Lowepro, but not me. If I did, I'd call the company and seek warranty assistance. They're supposed to stand behind their product. I just bought a little one for my Nikon 1. They probably have better bags out there that are made by other manufacturers and I know that they surely have worst bags out there, but buying a Lowepro always seems to give me a feeling of getting the best bang for my buck.

I own 4 and they are excellent.

Wow you both have 4?! That's a statement in itself! I was looking at the Flipside 500 AW

I have 4 because my gear-carrying needs vary from day to day. One day I need to carry my camera and one lens. The next day, it's my ipad and 3 lenses. Another day, it's my laptop and two lenses. I've promised myself that I'm not buying anymore. Speaking of bags, your screen name says it all.

My only mistake with Lowepro is thinking bigger is better. I have a 302AW for my D800 and 4 lenses. A D800 and 4 lenses is way too heavy for a day's hike. Now I use the 200AW and take less lenses. Lowepro is a good product and the quality is just fine.

3 bags. Quality is outstanding, well thought out, and love the built in pull over rain fly that has definitely paid for itself.

Good to hear that... Will review my Flipside 500 AW when it arrives...

Three bags here as well. Lowepro is the best IMHO at what they offer for photographers.

I have the small backpack and I can get both cameras with lenses, my flash and an extra lens. If I don't need the flash I have room for 2 smaller lenses. Most of the time I use only one strap so it can be used as a sling style.

i have the small backpack camera three lenses and my sb-700

great bag

Wow they seem to fit a lot in them!

I have 4 Lowepros and a National Geographic bag. Different bags for different needs. Lowepros are guaranteed for life. Excellent quality, good prices (used or new) and I wouldn't buy anything else.

1 Lowepro Messenger Pro 180AW

1 Lowepro ComputrekkerAW

1 Lowepro Nova 4AW

1 Lowepro Sideline Shooter.

My wife and I both have the lowpro AW75 top loader bags. I bought it because it said it would take the body with 70-200 2.8 attached even though I didn't have on at the time. I then used it as justification for buying the lens

They are great bags and I feel like my gear is well protected inside.

I also have a messenger for storing and transporting and my wife uses our older backpack. I may need a backpack as well for a trip next year.

​Thanks for all the feedback guys

I've had my slingshot 100AW since 07-08. Still looks great!

Tap'n on the Galaxy S3

I have been using the Rezo 170AW that came with the D600 Bundle from BH Photo Video. Its a great bag, but not big enough to fit my F/2.8 70-200mm lense. I just ordered the Slingshot 302AW, hopefully it will fit both of my lenses.

I have two, never had an issue with either, I have a small one for my video camera along with the 202 sling.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, will let you know how mine is once it arrives!
