Roots Camera Bags, Known for their Quality and Durability, Protected not only the Camera, but Helped Save a Life!

Roots camera bags are known not only for their style and functionality, but also for their quality and durability. Recently, Heather Rivet, a professional landscape photographer, fell through some thin ice with her camera gear in a Roots system camera bag, and declared “the Roots bag saved my life.” “It [the bag] kept floating, which enabled me to keep my head above the ice by holding on to it,” stated Rivet. At the same time, she tried to haul herself up, but the surrounding ice was thin and kept breaking. Frantically, Heather then jammed her tripod into a hole in the dock and managed to pull herself out. “It’s the Roots backpack magic,” Heather says of her dramatic experience. “The bag is fantastic, it’s durable, it’s made by a Canadian company, and it has proved that it works well, even in the very challenging conditions of a Canadian winter. It went through the ice and survived!” Heather’s prized Nikon D90 also emerged unscathed. Thanks to the Roots camera backpack, both the photographer and her new camera are safe and back in action. Distributed by Gentec International, Roots photo accessories include a variety of top-quality camera pouches and bags for everything from compact, point-and-shoot cameras to professional DSLR systems.
