More information about the 40th Anniversary Version:
A perfect combination of fast access and all-weather protection, the Primus AW was built for the backcountry. Rugged construction with a recycled, water resistant outer fabric and a seam-sealed AW cover protects gear. This pack also conforms to a variety of body types with an adjustable 8-point harness system giving the adventure photographer exceptional comfort under heavy load. The lumbar-equipment access point keeps the bag off the ground when digging for equipment in either of the two padded compartments. Gear retrieval is further complimented by a side access zipper that gives the user quick camera access without taking the bag off. Combine that with pockets and features that are made for today`s adventure photographer and the Primus AW delivers adjustable comfort with tough camera protection.
In commemoration of Lowepro`s 40th anniversary, we are proud to introduce the industry`s first backpack designed for the professional photographer that is made primarily from recycled materials. Funds raised from the sale of the Primus AW backpack will support Polar Bears International PBI.a nonprofit organization dedicated to the worldwide conservation of the polar bear.
The Primus AW backpack, constructed of 51% Cyclpet�, a 100% post consumer recycled fabric, is the first backpack of its kind, and establishes the Primus AW as the industry standard for eco-friendly carrying solutions. Each bag contains enough recycled material to equate to approximately 22 soda bottles. By preventing this material from reaching a landfill, .0034 cubic yards of landfill space, 15,109 BTU`s of energy, .002 barrels of crude oil and .12 gallons of refined oil is conserved throughout the production process.
The release of Primus AW celebrates the spirit of conservation which has been, and continues to be, an integral part of the Lowepro culture.
Primus AW Recycled Content Information:
51% Recycled fabric per bag
Cubic yards conserved in a landfill by recycling PET beverage bottles - 0.0034 per bag
Recycled 16oz. PET Soda Bottles - 22.6 per bag
Approximate BTU`s saved - 15,109 per bag
Crude Oil Barrels - .002
Refined Oil Gallons - .12
One BTU is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree farenheight. Melting one pound of ice at 32 degrees farenheight requires 143 BTUs. Therefore, each Primus bag manufactured, is saving an amount of BTUs that equates to 105.6 lbs of ice.
BTUs are most commonly used in the North American refrigeration and air-conditioning industries. A standard in this industry is the concept of how many BTUs are required to melt one "short-ton" of ice (2,000 lbs), in a 24 - hour period. The answer is 12,000 BTUs.
Therefore, again thinking about the Polar Bears, for every Primus bag manufactured, the amount of BTUs saved, is equal to more than the heat required to melt 2,000 lbs of ice (one ton) in a 24 - hour period.
Concluding therefore, for every Primus AW manufacturered, is actually impacting the planet by "saving" 2,000 lbs of ice for one more day! Great news for the Polar Bears!
