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 Toptube. This slimline pack is designed to sit below your top tube, inside the main triangle of your bike frame, whilst still leaving space for your water bottle. This also makes it the perfect solution for full-suspension mountain bikes with limited triangle space. With its 3 or 4-litre payload, it’ll take tent poles, tools and food supplies, whilst also helping to keep your bike’s centre of gravity low. The PU-coated nylon fabric and rolltop closure are fully waterproof, you don’t need to worry about your stuff getting wet. It attaches easily to your top tube and seat tube with the help of sturdy Velcro straps. The Ortlieb Frame Pack Toptube 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.
