Description

Description

The Ortlieb Vario is a high-quality bicycle bag and backpack in one. Do you commute to work, school or university by bike? Then the Vario is the ideal bike backpack for you. Between lectures or meetings, it is a handy and comfortable backpack, and on the bike it is a sturdy pannier. With the Quick-lock system you can easily attach the Vario, without tools, to the luggage carrier of your bicycle. Arrived at the right destination? Then the padded back system with sternum strap and shoulder straps can be removed from the front pocket and hooked onto the back of the Vario. From bicycle bag to backpack!

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.

Technology

Quick lock 2.1
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.

Super quality Made in Germany

I love the 2in1 function as a rucksack and bike bag.

The best pannier ever

- Marlies 28 February 2024

I have finally found a pannier that can be quickly converted into a rucksack. Until now I only had the "normal" bike bag from Ortlieb, there is no better one. I carry my shopping comfortably on my back to the bike. The bike bag also looks cool as a rucksack. The carrying comfort is great. Rain can't harm it.
