Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

  • The Ortlieb Vario is a sturdy pannier and comfortable, practical backpack in one.
  • The padded back carrying system remains nice and clean because it is not attached to the bag during cycling.
  • The size of the Ortlieb Vario and the laptop compartment make it the perfect bike backpack for commuters and students.
  • The roll top closure and the robust nylon fabric ensure that the Ortlieb Vario is waterproof.
  • The Ortlieb Vario does not have a closed front pocket for smaller items such as keys or a purse.
  • The side pockets and the front pocket in which the back carrying system is stored are not waterproof.

Handy, easy to use. The flap is still a bit stiff but I'm sure that will become smoother as I use it more.

Pros & Cons

Great looking, lightweight bike/backpack with sea of space (26l)

- Liesbeth 15 December 2024

Always nice to have a brand you can rely on and where the quality never disappoints you. The bag is very handy to use, lightweight and the backpack carries very comfortably. Because I am small, I hesitated for a while about the size of the 26 litre, but I am glad I chose it. And Mantel also had a great offer!

Pros & Cons

As always with Ortlieb, good quality.
Easily transforms from pannier to backpack
Extra inner zipped pocket.
Extra side pockets for drinking bottle etc..
Lightweight.
No snap buckle closure to close bag.
Original price is very high.
