Las Vegas, NV, CES Booth 31136, December 10, 2009 - Domke, a division of The Tiffen Company, a Hauppauge, NY camera accessory company, has introduced a new RuggedWear™ line to its Domke Classic Collection for today’s SLR cameras and camcorders. Based on the success of its original Limited Edition of the RuggedWear F-2 Shooter’s Bag, the F-803 Satchel and the F-5XZ Large Shoulder Bag, Domke has added 3 new RuggedWear bags: F-3X, F-6 and F-5XB.
Like your favorite pair of jeans, Domke bags get better with age and with the new Domke RuggedWear™ collection you don’t have to wait. The fabric produces a unique distressed and weathered look right from the start.
Domke F-3X
The RuggedWear bags feature high-quality, weather-tough, durable cotton canvas that is treated with special non-solvent, environmentally friendly waxes to afford the fabric a lifelong resistance to inclement weather. The special formula allows the fabric to breathe while the waxes produce a unique, timeless, weathered, dis tressed patina finish. By using the included refinishing wax, bags can be restored to its original finish.
The deceptively compact Domke F-3X is an inconspicuous camera bag that carries a surprising amount of gear. It has the same features as the F-2 but is slightly smaller. The Domke F-3X is ideal for 2 Pro SLR’s, 4-6 lenses, pro flash and accessories. Nine compartments and pockets provide ample storage. There’s even Domke’s trademark “upside-down” zipper pouch inside the weather flap. A removable padded partition wall separates the main compartment.

Domke F-6
The F-6 bag with a low profile exterior is similar to the F-2 Original Bag, but scaled down to hold less equipment. The F-6′s size and design makes it easy to carry and just as discreet as any Domke bag. The Domke F-6 is ideal for 1 Pro SLR, 2-3 lenses, and accessories. Nine compartments and pockets include two full-length zippered pockets, and removable padded four-compartment “short” Insert.
The Domke F-5XB versatile Shoulder/Belt Bag can be used as a camera bag or remove the included Gripper Shoulder strap and thread your belt (or ours, sold separately) through the tunnel for an instant waist pack. It is ideal for 1 Digital SLR or with an extra flash or lens, plus accessories. Five compartments and pockets provide ample storage. The padded main compartment includes two removable padded divider walls to customize its contents.
Like our other Domke bags, the RuggedWear collection is rugged, roomy, lightweight and versatile. It is designed to provide photographers with a solution that is easy to work with while providing the utmost protection.
Domke F-5XB
Domke’s soft, well padded interior is perfect for photographers as it protects lenses and LCD screens from scratches. The flap and oversized YKK zipper provide photographers with quick and easy access. Steel hardware secures the shoulder strap. Twin tracks of high-friction rubber are woven into the thickest, toughest cotton webbing allowing it to cling to the shoulder. Interior and exterior pockets offer additional storage for accessories.
