Lowepro Announce Classified Sling AW Bag |
|
Lowepro’s Classified Sling AW builds on the series’ distinctive, stylish design and hardworking features for photojournalists as well as photo enthusiasts. The sleek, slim profile moves naturally with the body – navigating a busy street or crowded event with ease. Quickly rotate the sling from back to front and work easily out of the side-entry main compartment – it utilises the width and depth – providing maximum access to gear. The Classified Sling AW is airline-compatible and free of dangling parts—straps and webbing are removable and designed to fold away compactly until needed.
Other features include Lowepro’s patented All Weather AW Cover™ and Hideaway Tripod Mount™.
The Classified Sling AW fits DLSR and pro DLSR cameras, lenses, accessories and personal items. It’s available in two sizes: laptops up to 15.4” can be carried in the Classified Sling 220 AW; a 7”–9” netbook fits in the Classified Sling 180 AW.

About Maxwell
The name 'Maxwell' first surfaced in Australian photo distribution in 1959, with the formation of Maxwell Photo Optics and the launch of the Nikon F camera. The company was a subsidiary initially of 16mm Australia Pty Limited and then Bell & Howell Australia. The name Maxwell came from the first General Manager of the company, Maxwell Adams, or Max as he is known to his friends.
In October 2006, Maxwell Optical Industries ceased, and two new companies were formed. First was Maxwell International Australia Pty Limited, distributor for Lowepro bags, Tamron lenses and other photo products. The second company resulted in the formation of Nikon Australia Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nikon Corporation of Japan to take over all Nikon Imaging and Nikon Sports Optics distribution.
Maxwell International Australia is a wholly-owned subsidiary of DayMen Worldwide, in Toronto, Canada. Corporate operations headquarters are now now operated from Sebastopol, California, USA, location for the designs of Lowepro's award-winning camera, video and computer bags. DayMen is the owner of the Lowepro brand and trademarks throughout the world.
