Lowepro Adventura SH 115 III Shoulder Bag | Black

The Lowepro Adventura SH 115 III Shoulder Bag in black is an excellent companion for photography enthusiasts of all levels. This bag combines a lightweight construction with exceptional durability, offering numerous practical features such as multiple storage compartments for accessories, an adjustable and detachable shoulder strap, and eco-friendly PVC-free molded bumpers designed to shield your equipment from damage. The outer material is treated with PU lamination, delivering superior water resistance and comprehensive protection against environmental conditions. This versatile bag accommodates a compact mirrorless or bridge camera system, such as a Sony a6600 paired with a standard lens, as well as action cameras, making it suitable for both amateur and seasoned photographers.

The bag aligns with Lowepro's commitment to environmental sustainability, incorporating up to 88% Green Line fabrics in its construction. The company has achieved this sustainability milestone by utilizing recycled materials and solution-dyed textiles, which significantly reduce water consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions during production. This environmental impact is quantified according to the GRI 301-2 standard, which measures the proportion of recycled fiber content relative to the total fiber weight used in the product.

• Lowepro's popular Adventura collection is produced using the Green Line process, which means it's made from recycled and solution-dyed fabric. The Green Line is represented by a loading bar, indicating the percentage of recycled and solution-dyed fabrics used when manufacturing bags.
  
  
• Lowepro's new bags are made from dope-dyed black fabrics and recycled linings/webbings, to reduce water use and CO2 emissions.
  
  
  • 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.
