You never know when adventure awaits – which is why a bag like the Ortlieb Duffle Metrosphere makes such a great travel companion. It combines sleek, understated looks with rough and tough outdoor DNA, making it a great choice for business trips with adventure potential. Built from textured nylon fabric with a burly lockable TIZIP zipper, it is completely waterproof and dustproof. You can carry it duffle- or backpack-style, thanks to various carrying straps and ergonomic shoulder straps. There’s even a designated pocket for a personalised address card, should you ever be separated from your luggage. And it’s available in either 40-litre or 60-litre sizes. The smaller size is perfect for airline carry-on, while its bigger brother is well suited to longer trips.

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.
