The black Adventura SH 160 III Shoulder Bag from Lowepro is useful for all your photo adventures. It features a lightweight yet rugged design with multiple handy features, including multiple accessory pockets, an adjustable and removable shoulder strap, and PVC-free molded bumpers to prevent scratches. The exterior fabric is coated with PU lamination, providing both waterproofing and protection from the elements. The bag holds a DSLR or mirrorless with lens, including a Sony Alpha 7 series, plus four additional lenses. It is ideal for both novice and professional photographers.
The bag meets Lowepro's environmental efforts, with up to 88% Green Line fabrics used. Lowepro has achieved this by using recycled and solution-dyed fabrics, which saves water and reduces GHG emissions. This is measured following the GRI 301-2 standard, with the percentage of the recycled fiber used, compared to the total fiber used by weight.
Dope-dyeing, also called solution or spun dyeing, is a production technique to color synthetic fibers such as acrylic, nylon, and polyester. With this technique pigments are added to the liquid polymer solution before synthetic fibers are extruded. Instead of traditional wet yarn dyeing, in which the yarn is knitted or weaved first into a fabric which is then dyed as a whole, dope dyed yarn is the opposite. Traditional wet dyeing has created problems for both the environment and human health. Large amounts of chemicals and dyes are used in wet processing, wasting water and releasing dangerous chemicals into the environment. Using dope-dyed fabrics reduces greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and chemical usage.
