The production of waterproof ORTLIEB backpacks, bicycle bags and travel bags takes place under one roof. This is how the company guarantees the highestquality – Made in Germany . Some of the special features of Ortlieb products are also patented. Together with you, we will delve into the world of ORTLIEB products and show you what benefits the German manufacturer can offer.
How did the Ortlieb brand come about?
The company ORTLIEB Sportartikel GmbH was founded in Nuremberg in 1982 by Hartmut Ortlieb. He developed his first pannier out of necessity. Hartmut Ortlieb needed waterproof equipment that was previously unavailable anywhere. For his first panniers he used a truck tarpaulin and made the bags by hand. After testing itself, the company developed quickly and today has a range of more than 500 individual products. With more than 220 employees, ORTLIEB has developed into a leading high-tech company.
100% waterproof: See for yourself the waterproof backpacks and bags
ORTLIEB stands for innovative and independently designed products. With this credo, the company has established itself as the world's leading brand of waterproof premium equipment. The fabric used – including welded seams – is waterproof up to 100,000 mm water column. In combination with the unique closure system, this ensures that the contents always remain waterproof and dustproof. Whether roll closure, zippers or Velcro – the ORTLIEB remains waterproof .
The great variety of Ortlieb products
In addition to a wide range of different bags and sustainable backpacks, ORTLIEB also produces packing bags, saddle bags, handlebar bags as well as luggage rack bags and rack frames such as the Quick Rack. The manufacturer also has map cases, hydration systems and folding keys in its range.
Whether in everyday life as an office bag or when traveling with your bike, your things stay dry and safely packed in the ORTLIEB bags. Some models also have an anti-theft device, which reliably protects you from thieves when traveling. Cool 2-in-1 functions also await you at ORTLIEB: For example, with the Vario PS model, which is a bicycle bag and backpack in one.
In addition to their pure functionality, ORTLIEB products also impress with their elegant and sporty style. But it's not just ORTLIEB backpacks that are a real eye-catcher and waterproof.

Habe das Vorgängermodell sei Jahren täglich in Gebrauch. Kann mir keinen besseren Rucksack für den Alltag vorstellen: robust, kompakt,sehr praktische Einteilung, alles was ich untertags brauche passt rein. Ich hatte schon viele Rucksäcke, aber dieser ist mein all time favourite. Hält wirklich viel aus, auch die Reißverschlüsse sind nach jahrelangem Gebrauch noch tip-top. Bester Alltagsrucksack ever!
Super geeignet für jedes Wetter! Passt auch gut in den Fahrradkorb. Praktisch auch für Pendler.
Das einzige Makel ist, dass innen mehr Fächer sein könnten zum Verstauen von Portemonnaie, Handy etc.
Es gibt ein Laptopfach, an dem außen noch ein kleiner Reißverschluss ist mit einem weiteren Fach, in dem man aber nur z.b. einen schmalen Notizblock verstauen kann.. Denn wenn das Laptopfach genutzt wird und ein Laptop drin ist, kann das Fach außen mit Reißverschluss nicht mehr so gut genutzt werden für voluminöse Gegenstände, da es dann schon recht eng gespannt ist und nur sehr schmale Sachen dort herein passen. Ein zweites Fach gegenüber wäre klasse, da könnte man gut das Portemonnaie verstauen ohne immer lange danach wühlen zu müssen. Es gibt zwar auch außen an der Seite am Rucksack ein schmales Fach mit Reißverschluss, jedoch ist dieses so schmal, dass geradeso der Schlüsselbund hereinpasst und sonst kaum etwas.
Gute Bellroy Qualität für einen leichten Duffel. Durchdachte Aufteilung in minimaler Ausführung. Für meine Zwecke (gelegentlich Gym, Reisen, etc.) ausreichend.
