ORTLIEB bicycle bags – waterproof since 1982
In 1982, Hartmut Ortlieb had a simple but brilliant idea: bicycle bags that are reliably waterproof. Out of his own need to have dry equipment on his tours, he founded ORTLIEB Sportartikel GmbH in Nuremberg. At that time, still made from truck tarpaulin and on his mother's sewing machine, he began producing the first panniers in Nuremberg. These were tested and continually improved by him and his friends on his own cycling and climbing tours.
What began as a handmade solution for personal use quickly became a success story. Today, ORTLIEB stands for innovative, robust and, above all, waterproof luggage solutions in bikepacking - made for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide. An original that was created from passion and practical experience.
Sustainability requires inventiveness
When it comes to bikepacking, ORTLIEB stands for innovative, hermetic closure systems that set standards in the outdoor and cycling world. Whether roll closure, waterproof zipper, Velcro fastener or sealing lip - every system is designed to reliably protect your equipment. Many of these features are patented and reflect the company's inventive spirit.
The high-quality products are created by a creative, multidisciplinary team that is always focused on the needs of the user. Thanks to this proximity to the market and the desire to keep improving, ORTLIEB is continuously developing new solutions that are not only robust but also sustainable. Independent test committees, specialist editors and design agencies regularly honor this innovative strength with top ratings. Clear proof that inventiveness is the key to sustainable top quality.
How ORTLIEB is revolutionizing bikepacking
With the ORTLIEB bikepacking bags, you are optimally prepared for tours that go beyond ordinary roads. They combine the manufacturer's proven waterproof design with the lightness and functionality that was developed specifically for bikepackers. Three indispensable companions are the saddle, frame and handlebar bags - an unbeatable trio for your next tour.
An ORTLIEB saddle bag is a real space miracle. Clothes, sleeping bags or light equipment find their safe place here - perfectly stowed away and always dry, even when the weather changes. Thanks to the clever and stable attachment, the bag sits rock solid, even when you're racing over bumpy trails or gravel paths. Thanks to the central position, you can take a lot with you without sacrificing riding comfort.
If you want to take tools, spare parts or food with you, an ORTLIEB frame bag is your reliable companion. It makes optimal use of the space in the bike frame and ensures that the weight is exactly where it belongs - in the middle of your bike. This makes your bike more stable and gives you the perfect balance, even on long and demanding tours.
An ORTLIEB handlebar bag is the perfect addition to your bikepacking setup. It grabs light and bulky things like sleeping bags, clothing or other essentials that you want to reach quickly on the go. Attached directly to the handlebars, you have everything in view and can reach it with one hand - without getting off, without stress. And what if the weather doesn't play along? No problem! The waterproof materials reliably protect the contents from rain, so you can concentrate fully on the ride. With ORTLIEB when bikepacking, you always have your most important things to hand and protected.
Everything you need for your next adventure
Whether you are planning a short weekend tour or an expedition lasting several days - with the ORTLIEB bikepacking bags you are perfectly equipped. From saddle bags to frame bags, the products offer everything that is important when you are on the go: waterproof materials, clever fastening systems and maximum functionality. Even better? With an ORTLIEB bikepacking set you get several bags that are perfectly coordinated with each other.
