Waterproof bikepacking bag
Bikes are a great way to get from A to B, but they don’t have much in the way of on-board storage. The solution is Ortlieb’s range of bikepacking bags, including their nifty Frame Pack RC. Available in either 4 or 6 litre sizes to suit the dimensions of your bike frame, it’s designed to sit below your top tube, keeping the bike’s centre of gravity low. This makes it the perfect location for stowing heavier gear such as tools, camping stoves and food supplies. The waterproof nylon fabric and rolltop closure keep contents dry no matter what. Mounting is easy thanks to ultra-strong, repositionable Velcro straps that fit to the top tube, seat tube and down tube. It also features a large opening for easy packing, with internal Velcro tape to prevent bulging. The Ortlieb Frame Pack is a truly adventure-proof bikepacking essential.

Life in the great outdoors is unpredictable, which is why it’s wise to be prepared. Basically, if your adventure goes from dry to downpour, you want your kit to stay safe and protected. Ortlieb’s durable, waterproof bike bags and backpacks are the ideal solution.
The first Ortlieb bag was invented in Germany in 1981, after founder Hartmut Ortlieb got back from a very wet bikepacking adventure in (you guessed it) Southern England. Inspired by tarpaulins he’d seen lashed on the truck beds of lorries, he fashioned a pair of bike panniers from red truck tarp, which he stitched at home on his mother’s sewing machine.
A year later he founded his own company, buoyed by early success and positive feedback from friends. In the following years, young Hartmut came up with a series of innovations that would define the modern drybag, using high frequency welded seams and roll-top closures. He even developed the first self-locking mounting system to attach panniers to bike frames.
Today, Ortlieb remains the first and most trusted choice for adventures and expeditions on land or sea – a brand name synonymous with waterproof protection and super-tough, outdoor-ready gear.
