Pros: Compact bag for light duty shoots, Excellent all-around protection, Microfiber cloth inside protects gear
Cons: Could use a little more padding on the underside

Review: Photographers know that there will be times when bringing a small camera bag with only the essentials inside is much more preferable than lugging a larger bag around. This is more obvious when the bag in question is not only bulky, but also lacking in the design department which makes it difficult to handle. In this respect, getting a bag like the Lowepro Rezo 160 AW seems to be a wise choice. Although it is smaller, the build quality and additional features provide a balance to the size. It is designed for light-duty shoots with only basic gear inside, or as a secondary pack for camera peripherals. The exterior of the bag is constructed with thick heavy-duty nylon while the interior has a soft brushed tricot fabric lining that covers the generous amount of padding inside. A microfiber cloth attached to the main compartment keeps lenses and LCD screens clean and scratch-free. This amounts to great overall protection both inside and out. The reverse-opening lid has a memory card organizer for storage media so they don't get lost or crushed inside the inner compartments and a soft handle is also attached to the top side. A standard DSLR with a lens attached will fit inside the main compartment, along with one or two lenses depending on the size. There is even room for small pieces of equipment like battery packs and flash attachments. The inside of the Rezo 160 AW can be customized to fit the needs of the gear with padded dividers included with the bag. The exterior has two main pockets, one on the left and another at the front and the right side has Lowepro's Sliplock attachment tab for additional items. The shoulder strap is wide and likewise comfortable and the ends have rotational hooks which prevent tangling. The Lowepro All-weather cover shields the bag from sudden changes in weather or from dust and other foreign material. All things considered, the Rezo 160 AW Camera bag is a nice addition to anyone's camera gear. As noted, the top-notch build is its biggest selling point. It could use heavier padding on the underside but that in itself, is not that big of an issue.
