Product Description

Product Description

The DryZone 200 is the world's first totally waterproof, soft-sided camera backpack. Even fully loaded, the DryZone 200 will float so your gear is always protected. The inner drypod with patented, waterproof TIZIP¿ zipper provides 100% watertight protection. It's like a drysuit for your equipment. When less protection is needed, leave the TIZIP¿ open and fasten just the inner zipper and top clip for easier access. The heavy-duty, padded camera compartment inside is fully customizable while the outer shell comes complete with a technical backpack harness. Also included: ergonomic lumbar support; fully adjustable CollarCut¿ shoulder straps; tuck-away tripod holder; self-draining mesh pockets; drain hole; rubber handle; and attachment loops for SlipLock¿ accessories. DryZone packs are comfortable to wear and give you total peace of mind in extreme environments.

5.0 out of 5 stars have camera will swim, June 29, 2003
By Uwudndno "Uwudndno" (Stamford, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lowepro DryZone 200 Backpack, Waterproof Camera Bag, Gray / Black. (Electronics)
This backpack actually is waterproof. I litterally went swimming in the BVI with my medium format equipment safely inside. Let me just repeat that, you can literally jump off the boat and swim to shore in waves with this thing and not a drop gets in. It uses a special zipper to seal itself off, not the more common method of folding over the mouth of the bag.
Carrying ergonomics are also superb: the bag offers many adjustments and a real well-patted hipbelt, essentially like the bigger mountaineering backpacks.
This is one of those rare products that does everything right.
If you are looking for protection from water for your camera gear this is the only currently made bag, as far as i know. I do have a discontinued German model, and find the Lowepro much better (ja, obwohl ich ein Deutscher bin).
My one caveat is: if you do not need this level of protection from the elements, you would be better off with another bag, because the stiff plastic and tight zipper make it less then ideal in terms of getting at your stuff quickly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wet, wild...and yellow, February 21, 2006
By DiveDoc "Tim" (Solihull, UK) - See all my reviews
This is a fantastic idea! I carry digital camera gear, hard drives and LOTS of rechargeable batteries onto boats to take photographs underwater. It has all become much easier with a waterproof backpack... and it seems to be accepted as hand luggage by airlines. This big version carries a lot, two cameras, two flashguns and two lenses and an aluminium camera housing. A wildlife photographer could get almost anything into the pack, and sling a tripod on the outside, with lunch in the pocket.

The waterproof layer has a zip that would not look out of place on a drysuit, and seems just as efficient at keeping water out.

The backpack looks bulky, but it's comfortable when it's adjusted. My only reservation is that the pack is bright yellow, and stands out in a crowd, which isn't ideal when it's filled with $$000s of gear. It would be easy to find if you dropped it in the sea, though, and Lowe claim that it would float, protecting the gear inside!

5.0 out of 5 stars Swim with your photo gear with confidence, November 11, 2008
I bought this bag specifically for a big trip to Europe, Africa and Asia, which included a stop in Thailand, where I was expecting to spend a lot of time on boats that weren't particularly seaworthy and I was particularly keen to visit the Emerald Cave, which involves a 200m swim through a cave to an enclosed beach.

Over the course of a month, I flew 13 flights and covered a distance of over 45,000km in the air, carrying in excess of 15kgs of gear. I was able to fit the following camera equipment in the bag with ease:
* Canon EOS 1Ds Mk III body
* Canon 24-70 2.8L lens
* Canon 70-200 2.8L IS lens
* Canon 100 2.8 macro lens
* Canon 16-35 2.8L lens
* Canon 1.4x extender
* Canon 580EX II flash
* Wolverine 250GB portable HDD
* Various other small accessories, including CF cards, etc.

The bag also has an external compartment with plenty of zippers where I was able to fit a 15" IBM laptop, along with books, travel documents, noise-cancelling headphones. While I occasionally had to remove the laptop to fit the bag into an overhead locker, I never had any problems with airport security or getting it on to the plane. The bag is also extremely comfortable to carry around and has solid chest and waist straps to distribute the load. Most innovative is the back harness system which can be eaily adjusted up or down based on your height. The bag also has a hidden fold-out tripod holder down the centre of the bag.

Of course, the best feature of the bag is the dry-suit zip. It took a little time to properly lubricate it with silicone grease, but once complete, it really has a very solid feel. While I was a little nervous climbing into the ocean with all my gear, it worked perfectly. The bag floated high in the water and not a drop of water penetrated the bag. The self-draining pockets on the outside also worked really well.

There are a few minor downsides: First, the main zip is really heavy duty and requires some effort to open and close. This means it can be difficult to get your gear in and out quickly. There is a secondary standard (non-waterproof) zip that you can use instead but the bag tends to sag without the main zip closed. Second, the yellow colour gets dirty easily. Finally, the exterior compartment is not waterproof, so if you plan to go for a swim, you'll need to remember to remove everything from that compartment.

Overall, this is another excellent bag by Lowepro. The dry-zuit zip really works superbly. Some of the design features - particularly the height adjustable harness and waist/chest straps - are superior to those on more conventional models, such as the Computrekker AW Plus. I would have no hesitation recommending this bag to anyone planning to take lots of gear into extreme climates, be it snow, water or sand. I have to admit, however, that I will probably continue use my other Computrekker, Rover and Slingshot bags on a day-to-day basis as they are simply easier to get gear in and out of the bag.
