According to the product specialist

Pros
Practical backpack that easily attaches to your carrier.
Plenty of storage space thanks to a 17-litre capacity and front zip pocket!
Features padded shoulder straps and back panel.
Improved visibility thanks to reflective elements and attachment option for lights.
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.
This hybrid bag quickly transforms from a backpack to a pannier for maximum flexibility.
The Quick-Lock attachment system makes mounting and dismounting the pannier easy.
The bag is fully waterproof and protects your belongings from rain and moisture.
The bag includes a comfortable carrying system and ergonomic shoulder straps.
The zipped pocket on the front flap offers quick access to small items during your ride.
The Basil SoHo Nordlicht features an integrated LED strip for increased visibility in the dark.
This backpack and bike pannier has an IPX3 waterproofness rating.
Store your laptop or tablet easily and safely thanks to the included and removable organiser.
Cons
This bag is less suitable for sporty rides on road bikes or mountain bikes.
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.
The zipped pocket on the front flap is not waterproof and offers less weather protection.
The 9 kg maximum load capacity may not suffice if you need to carry heavy loads.
The relatively soft PU material can get scuff marks from friction with rougher surfaces, but will nevertheless retain its level of waterproofness.
The Nordlicht bike backpack does not come with 3 AAA batteries.
