Quick release 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 Handlebar Pack QR. This roomy 11 litre bag is the perfect size to stow a sleeping bag and mat. A waterproof rolltop closure always ensures quick access to your gear, while internal compression straps keep contents secure. But its most innovative feature is Ortlieb’s new Bar-Lock fastening system, which enables the pack to be attached and removed from your handlebars in seconds. This adds practicality for bikepacking, touring, travel and commuting. Take it with you, remove it altogether or swap it on to another bike. Mounting and removal takes seconds, needs no tools or screws yet is still secure enough to handle rough terrain.

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.
