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.

No more sticky back of the backpack

- Reinder 28 September 2025

I am very happy with it. Just click it on your bike and when you arrive, fold the flap and carry on with your backpack.

Pros & Cons

Clicks quickly onto the bike
Easy to change from bike bag to backpack
There is only 1 small separate compartment in the inner part

5 / 5

Quality company and product. I would recommend them without hesitation!

- Philippe 22 July 2025

Given as a gift, first impressions from the user: perfectly suited to its dual purpose, as a bag to hang on and as a rucksack. Very large and waterproof.

Handy product for both on and off the bike

- Eline 2 July 2025

Handy product for both on and off the bike. Only on 1 side of the overflap is a small pocket, otherwise there are no pockets on the outside of the bag.

Pros & Cons

Easy to make and carry as a backpack
Handy on and off the bike
Laptop compartment on the inside
Waterproof
Almost no pockets on the outside
Could have been a bit cheaper from me
I personally find the rolling top a little less convenient.

Beautiful, practical bicycle bag/backpack of excellent quality

- Ilse 30 June 2025

Very satisfied with this purchase. Not cheap but worth its money. There are few compartments inside but in the end it hardly seems a disadvantage because the bag stays open and you can easily find your material. Backpack straps are adjustable, making it comfortable to wear. Easy to convert into a pannier. Beautiful design.

Pros & Cons

Backpack carries comfortably
Easy to convert from pannier to backpack
Laptop fits nicely in separate compartment
Not only practical but also beautiful
Spacious

Handy bike/backpack in beautiful patrol colour!

- Nina 16 May 2025

I really enjoy using the bag to cycle to work. Because I now have this (bicycle) bag, I can cycle comfortably despite my pregnancy! It sits well on my back and is easy to change from a pannier to a backpack. By the way, the petrol colour is very nice. I think it's a good investment.

Pros & Cons

Easy to convert from pannier to backpack
Fits securely on the bike
Spacious bag (large version)
The bag is quite heavy (but that does not matter)
