Ortlieb Vario Lite QL2.1 Cycling Rucksack

The Ortlieb Vario Lite is a clever combination of a waterproof backpack and a practical pannier. Thanks to the innovative Vario system, switching between the two functions is effortless. With QUICK-LOCK2.1 hooks, ergonomic shoulder straps and a padded back, this bag is ready for any ride and hike. Compact, versatile and ideal for everyday use.

Waterproof, lightweight and sturdy construction
The Ortlieb Vario Lite hybrid bag is made of durable, PVC-free materials that guarantee long-lasting use. The main compartment is fully waterproof and features a practical roll-top closure, ensuring reliable weather protection. The bag is IP64 certified, which means it is dustproof and splashproof from all directions. The sturdy design with a 9 kg maximum carrying capacity makes the bag suitable for daily transport of valuables without compromising on comfort or protection.

Smart details for maximum convenience
Switching between backpack and pannier modes is quick and easy thanks to the reversible and flexible flap. Ergonomic shoulder straps and a padded back ensure carrying comfort, and a chest strap and handle provide extra stability. Inside, there is a laptop compartment that can fit a laptop up to 15.6 inches, and on the outside there are side zip pockets and reflective elements for more visibility. The QL2.1 system makes for easy mounting on almost any standard luggage rack up to 16 mm, and the rack as well as the bag remain scratch-free thanks to the anti-scratch design. All hooks are adjustable without using tools, contributing to the bag's high degree of practicality.
