When you’re really looking to minimise the weight and bulk of your gear whilst still ensuring it stays safe and sound, you need compression dry bags. Simple but effective, you simply open the valve before packing, roll the bag down to squeeze out all the air, then seal it – suddenly your bulky down sleeping bag or puffer takes up half the space. Made from the same super-lightweight nylon fabric as Ortlieb’s Drybag Light series and available in three practical sizes (7L, 12L, and 22L), they’re specifically designed for packing sleeping bags and compressible clothing. Each bag boasts a reinforced circular base, bottom grab loop and weighs next to nothing – the 7-litre version is just 58g. They’re also available in three colours for easy identification when you're digging through your pack.
| Size | Height (cm) | Circumference (cm) | Diameter (cm) | Volume (L) | Weight (g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 L | 27 | 55 | 17.5 | 7 | 58 |
| 12 L | 32 | 67.5 | 21.5 | 12 | 74 |
| 22 L | 42 | 83 | 26.5 | 22 | 108 |
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.
