Review: Lowepro Toploader Zoom AW II Camera Bag

The Lowepro Toploader Zoom AW II is the perfect way to carry your camera while on an adventure. The Toploader AW II is a water resistant padded swaddling blanket for your DSLR or Mirrorless digital camera.

I can fit my Olympus OMD-EM5 with a 75mm f1.8 lens in the Lowepro Toploader AW II while mountain biking with no worries about damaging my camera. Using this setup I  have been mountain biking on some crazy long rides with this in my Platypus hydration bag and never worried about my camera.

But it is more than just an insert it is a great stand alone bag. I have used it for travel and short hikes with the pups.

 It has pockets on the outside to fit an extra batteries, cleaning cloth and a few other things.

Inside the lid of pack is a pocket for extra memory cards and other small items.

The inside of the pack is soft smooth material that protects the camera and is easy to keep clean.

The Toploader AW II has a nice padded handle on the top.

The detachable shoulder strap has a gripper section in the middle to keep the bag in place while hiking.

The Lowepro Toploader AW II has a belt loop on the backside to attach the bag to your waist belt or shoulder strap while out hiking with a larger pack. I really dig this feature. I use it when on long hike and want quick access to my camera.

Hidden behind that orange tag is a rain cover. The rain cover is really though out well, including holes for the shoulder straps.

If you need a way to carry your camera securely and get quick access to it you should buy the Lowepro Toploader Zoom AW II. I am really psyched on this bag. It is just what I have been looking for to carry my camera while out, either in a pack while riding, on a pack while hiking or just over the shoulder while walking the pups.
