Ultralight organisation for the weight-conscious
When every gram counts but you still need proper organisation, Ortlieb's Dry-Bag Light range delivers. Made from ultra-lightweight, PVC-free nylon fabric that's both waterproof and surprisingly tough, these bags are designed to live inside non-waterproof rucksacks, panniers, or duffels as internal liners. Available in five sizes from a tiny 1.5 litres (perfect for first aid kits or electronics) up to 22 litres (ideal for clothing or sleeping bags), they come in four different colours so you can colour-code your packing system. They share the same reinforced circular base, broad bottom loop for holding and emptying, and reliable rolltop closure as their heavier siblings.

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.
