Congratulations to Lee Paine who will be receiving the Photo Sport Sling 100 AW. Lee wrote, “The Photo Sport Sling 100 AW would be the perfect case for my various scouting adventures. As the Scoutmaster for my Boy Scout Troop, and the primary photographer, you’ll find me shooting the boys hiking trails, mountain biking, climbing and rappelling, skiing and snowboarding, and at our many community service projects where I need to go light and fast. The AW cover would be a real blessing as we do these rain or shine. I also know the Lowepro quality would hold up to all our activities as I own several Lowepro bags including my original Pro 35. Thanks for making these great products.”

And thanks to everyone who chimed in. We love reading your comments, and we’ll have another Free Bag Friday soon…

Feeling adventurous? Ready for a hike, bike ride, or a jog on your favorite trail? You might want to take our Photo Sport Sling 100 AW with you. “How?” you ask. Just post a comment below stating why you think this bag belongs in your possession. One lucky person who comments will be awarded the Photo Sport. That’s right: It’s Free Bag Friday!

Comments are open until midnight on Sunday, Sept. 25th. Then on Monday morning, we’ll announce who gets the Photo Sport Sling 100 AW. So post a comment, and get your running shoes ready to go.

Congratulations to Travis Garcia for his “Specflippingtacular” description of the Flipside 400 AW as part of the Describe Your Favorite Lowepro Bag in One Word brainstorm that we had for Free Bag Friday last week.

Travis gets to choose any Lowepro bag he wants that’s currently in stock. So get to it my man, let us know what you want and where to ship it.

Thanks to everyone who participated. I had a blast scrolling through these clever one liners. There were many, many impressive descriptions. We’ll play again soon. So stay tuned.

Here’s a challenge for you: describe your favorite Lowepro bag with just one word. By doing so, you have a chance to win any Lowepro bag currently in stock.

To participate, add a comment below with your two-word phrase. For example: “Fastpack, affordable.” “Pro Trekker, rugged.” “Slingshot, versatile.”

This isn’t an exercise in creativity. What we really want to know is how you feel about your favorite bag. So, using just one word, be as accurate as possible.

We will choose a winner from the comments on this post on Thursday, Sept. 8, 2011 and publish the results here. You have until midnight, Sept. 7, 2011 PST to enter. As I mentioned earlier, the winner gets to choose one Lowepro bag of his or her preference that is currently in stock.

I’m looking forward to your responses!

Congratulations to Whitney Stewart for winning a Lowepro Fastpack 100. Whitney commented, “This would be great for combing photography with another of my favorite activities- geocaching!” That is one adventurous hobby, and the slender design of the Fastpack 100 will help Whitney stay nimble while searching for those hidden treasures.

For everyone else, stay tuned… there will be more Free Bag Fridays.

We’re going to stay nimble this week and offer the svelte Fastpack 100 for Free Bag Friday, Aug. 19, 2011. All you have to do is comment on why you’d like to have this bag, or how’d you use it, in the comments below. Next week, we’ll randomly pick a winner and post the lucky photographer’s name here.

If you’re new to this blog, your comment will have to be reviewed by us before it goes live. So you might not see it immediately. But fear not! Unless you used a bad word or are one of those annoying spam bots, we’ll get your pearly words on the site asap.

Good luck!

Photographer Lisa North cashes in on our recent Free Bag Friday and will soon receive a new Fastpack 250. She commented:

“I have been looking to upgrade my camera bag. My awesome husband surprised me for my bday w/ new flashes and other accesories for my camera, and therefore my bag is just too small. I would love the fastpack 250 – a reliable case that would keep all my equipment in one safe place. I love to take my camera everywhere with me; you never know what you will see. It will also help me with different photo shoots that I have planned. Thanks for your time and for the offer!”

And thank you Lisa, for being a part of our photography community.
