Reviews over the

Ortlieb Back Roller Classic

Super convenient hooking system, my bag has never been knocked off the carrier. The hooks are also strong. Only the new construction of the hooks is not as good, they kept rattling until I put ti-raps between them. The material is stiffer than my old Back-Roller bags, so it rolls up more difficult.

Pros & Cons

Very smooth and fine in operations

Pros & Cons

My old Ortliebs broke down after 8 years, the seams were coming loose. This can no longer be glued / vulcanised so just bought a new set. Hope these will last longer.

Pros & Cons

Great bags , even with 5-hour downpour inside everything dry

Pros & Cons

Fine quality bag, which indeed proved to be waterproof after a downpour.

Pros & Cons

Nice spacious bags that are quick to put on your rack.

Pros & Cons

Easy to open / close / install on bike / remove from bike It's a pity the interior is black, as it's not easy to see clearly in poor lighting conditions (gray version).

Pros & Cons

As expected, easy to attach and a nice color

Pros & Cons

Great product! Manual is rather vague.

Pros & Cons

Excellent bags,waterproof and easy to use.

Pros & Cons

Very good saddlebags, in fact, they are the second ones I have. The first were a city and I broke one for not carrying it well hooked, my fault. I recommend it for cyclotourism!

Pros & Cons

The product meets my needs, but I'm sorry I didn't choose a model with a padlock.

Pros & Cons

Having used Ortlieb Front Roller Plus Panniers [Cordura construction, 25 litres combined volume] in ever day use for 7 years I 'upgraded' to the Back Roller Classic for winter use [PVC construction, 40 litres combined volume]. Excellent quality & adaptability from Ortlieb.

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied with the saddlebags but opening and closing is a bit costly.

Pros & Cons

Did not understand from the description that it is the shoulder strap that is used for locking, closing the bag. It is a bit awkward to get it in the right place. Would rather have seen that there were buckles on the sides.

Pros & Cons

I use my bags everywhere to do my shopping, carry my computer to meetings.

Pros & Cons

Good bags, roll up for waterproof and stay flexible when cold

Pros & Cons

Just what we've been waiting for

Pros & Cons

We already had two sets of these bags front and rear. We really like them so without hesitation we bought another set of rear bags so that all of us in our family can carry luggage during our cycling vacations.

Pros & Cons

Super processed, real relief - otherwise I was always on the road with backpack - and a real space miracle. Only the shoulder straps are rather well-intentioned instead of really helpful. Clearly you wear the bag actually on the wheel - if you take it but then loaded the carrying is not very comfortable - then but prefer to reach for the bag with "backpack function" ;)

Pros & Cons

The bags are well made and can be quickly mounted on the bike. The two inner pockets are also very practical.

Pros & Cons

Solid and hardwearing. Just the right size. Not easy to open or close. Takes getting use to!

Light and strong and easy to fit. Seem to have enough space for touring but also great for shopping and commuting.

Pros & Cons

I spoje to someone from Mantel. The person was very helpful. I was clarifying an issue before l bought the bicycle panniers. You could make it clearer the litre size and the exact model type. I bought x2 Ortlieb bicycle panniers and an really pleased by this purchase. Before l bought a cheap bicycle pannier and it basically fell apart. These Ortlieb bicycle panniers, hold enough for me to do a large shop and carry back on my bicycle. I like the amount you can fit into the panniers, the bright colours, the sturdy quality and the easy attachment and release system. The positives definitely outlay the negatives, but if there are negatives l would say these two things: (1) It's vdry easy for the release strap to get caughtbinside the plastic grasping hooks, which then make a it hard to release the panniers. (2) The fabric strap on the outside of the pannier, is not long enough to clip on when you have a lot of stuff inside the pannier. I have to use an elastic strap in order to close the pannier.

Pros & Cons

There's no denying that these panniers are probably the best available. They're easy to use, well-made and have lots of well-thought out features. I can't think of how this design could be improved on, but if I really had to come up with a negative it would be the straps. They're fiddly to tuck into the little holders to prevent them fouling the wheels as you ride. The only other negative would be the price. It's a lot of money, but they do look like they're built to last.
