No shortage of space
The Vario offers enough space for A4 documents and notebooks and the laptop compartment is suitable for laptops up to a size of 15.4 inches. Of course, your pack lunch also easily fits in with this too. With the inner zip pocket, you can easily store smaller items without them getting lost in the spacious main compartment. With a capacity of either 20 or 26 liters you always have enough space, without the bag becoming too big or too bulky. The 26-litre bag also has two neoprene side pockets. This is useful, for example, for a compact umbrella or a drinking bottle.
A complete package
In addition to the interior space, the Ortlieb Vario has other useful features. This way you can easily attach your helmet to the Vario. This allows you to cycle safely, but you do not have to carry your helmet when you are off the bike. The rear of the Vario is also reinforced, so that the Vario keeps its shape better. The bottom also contains a sturdy plastic strip that ensures less wear on the backpack. For extra safety, the Vario is equipped with reflective strips on the sides of the backpack which make you more visible in traffic.
In short, the Vario is suitable for cyclists with a busy and varied lifestyle.
The Quick-lock 2.1 system is the successor to Ortlieb's Quick-lock 1 system. With this system it is very easy to attach the bag to the luggage carrier of your bicycle. The bag can be attached and detached without tools. You just need to grab the handle to open the hooks. Extra pieces are also included that make it possible to adjust the Quick-lock system to the diameter of your luggage carrier. This makes the bag more stable while cycling.
IP64
The Ortlieb Vario has an IP64 rating. This means that the Vario is almost completely dust-proof and splash-proof. So you don't have to worry about the contents getting wet in a rain shower.

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

Ideal pannier and backpack in one
Easy to use and well waterproof. Super quality.
Pros & Cons

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