From shorter trips to extended two-wheeled adventures, this streamlined, versatile pack can do it all. Combining the functionality of Ortlieb’s Atrack range with a minimalist style, it is custom built for fast and light getaways. Watertight construction, an adjustable back length, breathable back padding and a detachable hip belt all make the Atrack BP a practical and comfortable companion for bikepacking. It also boasts a waterproof, full-length rear TIZIP zipper for easy access as well as no-spill, theft-deterrent security, which makes this an excellent travel duffle. Four zippered pockets and a compression strap keep things tidy and organised inside. It’s also hydration-compatible, with a sealable exit port for a drinking tube.
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.
