Product Description

The Lowepro Terraclime 100 is a soft-sided, protective, multi-purpose shoulder bag designed expressly for the eco-conscious, fashion-savvy consumer. It reduces environmental impact by virtue of its materials—over 95% recycled. All of the fabric is 100% post-consumer Cyclepet: recycled 16 oz. PET bottles turned into sturdy, water-and-abrasion-resistant material 22 bottles in Terraclime 100). Features include a padded camera wrap to use as an additional layer of protection for a DSLR, memory card pocket, zippered interior pocket, adjustable shoulder strap, and double-loop hook closure (made of plastic regrind to help reduce waste). Multi-purpose styling makes it easy to carry a camera as well as personal electronics and gear. A portion of the proceeds from each bag goes to Polar Bear International (PBI) to help in efforts to save polar bear habitats from the impact of climate change.

3.0 out of 5 stars Really nice product... too small, January 7, 2010

If you have a smaller DSLR camera or small lenses then this could be a great choice for you. Construction seems top notch and the innovative, removable padding wrap makes this a bag that could have utility beyond a mere camera bag. Unfortunately the Terraclime 100 falls short, at least for me.

The biggest issue is the size. Its just too small to hold a Canon 50D with any of my lenses attached. Forget about carrying additional lenses or a flash, no room.

My second gripe with the bag is the buckles to hold the top flap closed. They are not adjustable in any way and instead of fastex type buckles, they are a "insert TAB A into SLOT B" sort of arrangement. Not convenient and had they been adjustable the bag just might have worked. With no adjustments available its the kiss of death.

Due to these two things this bag will be going back to Amazon and I'll be searching for another alternative.

The product was just as described. I like the fact that is it recycled and I'm helping the environment. It is lightweight and not bad looking. I don't care for the look of regular camera bags - too bulky, and kind of nerdy - certainly not fashionable. I would have liked this bag to have a pocket on the outside of it so that I could stick my car keys or cell phone in it. It holds my canon rebel and 2 lenses. That's about all that will fit in it. Which is all I needed it for. All in all it's a good bag.

Just the thing I was looking for. Minimal. No hard-core bulky foam padding. Doesn't look like a tell-tale camera bag. I only wish it was a bit deeper or larger although it fits my D300 and lens + one just fine, it won't fit much more; I like to carry reading material, etc., an outside pocket on the back would have been nice. Strap is long enough to wear cross-torso which I would recommend instead of side shoulder. Strap is wide enough - I added my own strap pad to shoulder the weight. Not entirely wild about the closures which takes some effort to secure. The lightly padded external fabric, whatever it's made of, is nice and soft, not scratchy like some. The black is cool with the lime green camera wrap and lining. I would consider a larger version if available. All in all, I am pleased with my new camera bag.
