My Fiancée and I were in BigW Bendigo today and spotted this deal, we were looking for a couple of easy to sling bags for travelling in Europe and these are perfect!

Great construction, comfortably fits an iPad Mini 3/4 and a Kindle Paperwhite 2 (and cameras of course!) in the padded front pockets.

Considering they are usually $59.95 - $69.95 depending on the retailer, these are a bargain at $15.00.

      Given the material its made of I'd say it would be more than shower-proof, so it would be fine walking in rain.

      I just wouldn't go having a bath with it on! haha.

      Lowepro says it's "durable, weather-resistant fabrics". But it's not part of the DryZone series that is "waterproof".

        i dont think so. 250 > 150 you can check youtube there are reviews for both.
        obvious 2550 is bigger but same designs etc.
        maybe he meant" This Lowepro StreamLine 150 bag ALSO has many compartments and is stil…………."

    I'm sorry to be pedantic but the page says "save $34.95" which would make it normally $49.95 instead of $59.95

      Correct, that is the price that BigW were selling them for originally, but other retailers who sell camera equipment (without naming anywhere) sell them at RRP, which was $69.95 as set by Lowepro.

    Would this fit a dSLR like the Canon 600d?

    • [Deactivated] on 06/02/2016 - 19:10
      +2

      no… its too small for a dslr…
      you may probably be able to fit in the body separately really snug with lenses separately…
      you may also be able to put a dslr in the main compartment but then its not padded and there are no partitions…
      so ur gear might get damaged…

      i wouldnt suggest this for a dslr…

      • Yuun Yii on 06/02/2016 - 20:17

        Any messenger (or messenger style) bag that would be good for a dSLR?

          you may still check if the price is same… doesnt show on the site but you may be able to check with their CS….

          and also dont forget $10 cashback for joining club ted…

          looks like a decent bag for dslrs and couple of lenses…

          It's not a messenger bag but this is the bag I bought for my canon dslr last time at jb:

          https://www.jbhifi.com.au/cameras/case-logic/case-logic-slrc…

          THe plus I see to these other messenger bags is the bottom is hard shell that if you put it down on water/a puddle (god knows why but i guess these are the things that unexpectedly damage things) or anything damp then your camera will be safe.

          I don't see how these messenger style bags will fit your camera as the case logic one above works by suspending the dslr in the middle , so it technically doesn't touch th ebottom but kind of is 'held up' mid way through the compartment.

          The pictures of the big w website seem to indicate those smaller "mft"(forgot the name) part dslr, part compact camera style cameras. And the lens appears to be in the left pocket off? Honestly if you have to remove your camera lens to store it I don't see it being very practical, if you wanted a shot you'd have to screw it on etc, sometimes you're usually pulling out your camera quickly to shoot something….

          that said I'm tossing up whether to buy and hoard this bag to fit a small <10" netbook and some gear… otherwise stick with my posse of asian bought sling bags haha (they do the trick) and backpacks…

        • SaberX on 07/02/2016 - 15:12

          @SaberX:

          one positive of sling bags is you can have your gear slung in front of you. backpacks are great locally while i commute but somewhat paranoid keeping a netbook or tablet or cameras behind you while your being a tourist elsewhere…

          could just be me, but not worth the risk i reckon. Hence why I would never travel and buy one of those big backpacks that they store 5-6 lens and dslrs at the back (the professional backpack) as I would just be too worried of someone slipping away with something from behind…

        • Mugsy on 07/02/2016 - 15:14

          @SaberX:

          Depends on the backpack. My lowepro Primus minimus doesn't open from behind… great for travel.

        • JH100 on 07/02/2016 - 16:58

          @Mugsy:

          Thieves use a razor blade to cut the material and everything drops out, into their waiting hands/bag.

          +1

          @JH100:

          Have you seen the Primus Minimus? They'll need more than just a razor blade to get through to my DSLR with the level of thick hard padding in the bag… in which case if they had a large enough knife, I'd probably be dead already or bleeding on the ground.

        • SaberX on 08/02/2016 - 00:27

          @Mugsy:

          ohh there's backpacks that open from the side facing your back??

        • Mugsy on 08/02/2016 - 07:11

          @SaberX:

          Yep, there's a few designs that open like that. I think the Flipside models are Lowepro's main series that open from the side facing your back.

          I'm not sure about the flipside but my primus minimus (discontinued mind you) also has a side opening for easy access to the camera but with the way various straps are situated, I can hook the zipper around straps so someone can't easily open the side compartment.

          I've taken a Lowepro Rover AW around Tanzania and the Primus Minimus around China… the former does open from the back but not unless you have it on the ground and you can still put a lock around the zippers, the later is my favourite travel camera backpack… the right size for my camera gear and travel accessories. Also got the minimus for AU$50 incl shipping from the UK when its normal price is more around AU$300.

    Got one , big W pagewood, 3 left
    this one fit for my sony rx100
    or any mirrorless camera

    DSLR would be to chubby for the padded pouches. but you could put in the main expandable compartment

    It's very light with grey color not black as in the picture

    • Ambush on 07/02/2016 - 12:03

    It could be a stretch but would it fit a 2015 Dell XPS 13 which measures around 305mm x 200mm x 15mm? Yes, it's extremely compact for a 13.3" ultrabook.

    • tavitar on 07/02/2016 - 15:23
      +1

      I just bought one for the 2015 XPS 13. It only fits in the main compartment which isn't well padded and you have to put it in length ways then rotate it once in. It does fit though.

      • elektron on 07/02/2016 - 17:10

        Thanks, just got it too and have the same observations as you. I think it'll do the job. The fact that I can put stuff in the other compartments is a bonus.

        It was still marked at $49 and the sales guy asked me about OzBargain.

    I would suggest not to put anything too heavy in the bag. You get a sore shoulder after I while. I don't think I can walk around with this bag for more than an hour.

    Good price. Use wisely.

  • The tiger on 07/02/2016 - 10:03

      It certainly will, the inside rear padded pocket will fit a tablet (or pc) up to 10" in size.

      • Hiphopopotamus on 07/02/2016 - 11:02

        how thick is the padding and is it on all sides and the bottom?

        same question for the front camera pockets!

  • paleorana on 07/02/2016 - 10:58

    Plenty left (I think more than 10 odd?) at Warringah Mall Big W this morning.

    It wasn't with the camera section there and was with the PC and tech accessories [next to keyboards etc] as opposed to the camera accessories section.

    Listed at $49.95 but scanned at checkout at $15.

  • cheepwun on 07/02/2016 - 11:12

    PADDING in the tablet compartment (right down to the base of the pocket)
    PADDING in the camera/accessory pockets (under second zip).
    NO PADDING at the bottom of the bag's main compartment. Dropping it roughly on the ground is not a good idea for sensitive items in the main compartment.
    NO PADDING for the outermost pockets (under the velcro flap)
    NO PADDING on the velcro flap itself.
    NO PADDING on the strap.
    NO PADDING on the unsecured back 'slide-in' pocket.

    • Good for what it's intended to do. Well-constructed.
    • Not as safe as 'ugly' padded bags (ie. those with greater bulk) but then that's what you get with the slim compromise.
    • unzipping the zip at the bottom of the bag is good for expanding the main compartment.
    • Good price at $15. RRP is ridiculous.
    • Better value than the CatchOfTheDay deal on the smaller Lowepro Streamline 150, in my opinion. But it depends on what size you want.
    • Hiphopopotamus on 07/02/2016 - 12:01

      thanks for the info :)

      i got the cotd day one because i had $10 store credit anyway, plan to use it as an everyday bag, the padded front pocket looks perfect for my 3ds and/or vita!

      • cheepwun on 07/02/2016 - 13:19

        Good idea.

        PSP/Vita/3DS/DSi/DS Lite all fit fine in the Streamline 250's smaller pockets. Haven't tried any XL models but I'd say they should be just fine: the pockets are wide enough.

        When using hard cases for PSP/Vita, the Vita and PSP just (!) fit inside the padded pockets (without placing any strain on the zip to close it). That's how it is with my generic hard cases. You could also fit them inside those pockets under the flap, but there's no padding so beware if sliding them in bare.

        3DS/DSi/DS Lite all have room to spare with hard cases on. Not sure if the Streamline 150 is going to be different.

    • SaberX on 07/02/2016 - 20:39

      P.S. Bag is definitely smaller than I imagined… fine for a streamlined bag of your ipad or netbook, a few goodies and some smaller holders out the front (note all velcro for that flap so over time it'll wear out) …

      definitely won't fit a traditional dslr in a 'nice ' way, you could try and squeeze it in the main back compartment but definitely designed for the mirrorless cameras better.

  • Freeslave_44 on 07/02/2016 - 22:57

    Got one at Winston Hills. Plenty of stock on display.

    Barely fit my a6000 with 35mm lens in one of the dedicated pocket which is probably a good thing as it minimises movement. Other pocket is the same size which should fit 1 or two spare lenses. Will come in handy for my upcoming OS trip.
