Reviews over the

Ortlieb Back Roller Plus

2 pieces so lots of storage space soon.

Pros & Cons

Very good product, quality, functional, easy to fit on the luggage rack. I have no regrets about my purchase. Durable product that lives up to expectations.

Likes it even better than I expected.

Pros & Cons

Perfect for touring by bike or simply for shopping! Mantel's ordering and delivery process is simple, reliable and fast.

Very happy with these bags 2 x 20 liter bags for weekend camping.

I just retired a pair of back roller classics after 12 years of very intensive use. These are a lot lighter, I hope they're just as sturdy!

Pros & Cons

As always, Ortlieb gets the job done. I like the Plus in fabric with the QL2 hooks. They're much stronger and more convenient than the QL1s and PVCs in the City range.

This variant of the Back Roller is a great revision of the same bag that I have been using for 20 years. Now that I want to take my kids on tour, I needed more bags. My choice fell on the Back Roller Plus because it brings new features in addition to the features I appreciate. Proven is: -the easy hooking and removal of the bags. -absolutely waterproof, robust and durable, wipeable -lots of storage space New is: -the possibility of adjusting the suspensions without tools. By the way, the bag also fits on very short, lower struts of racks with two suspension levels, because the hangers can be pushed far together. The rubber coating on the lower hanging rail protects the luggage carrier better against chafing. -The practical inner pocket for small items or documents. -The new material of the "Plus" variant is, in my experience, just as dirt-repellent as the other variants and more environmentally friendly. I have had an Office Bag in green made of this material for over five years and have not had any dirt-related discoloration. -new is a strap that tightens over the lid. I would not necessarily needed and means a handle more when closing, but you can also well secure other luggage or a "Rack Pack" (travel) bag from Ortlieb still strap on top. If you do not want to use the shoulder strap, you can also simply click the clips of the roll closure together at the top. Ready Conclusion: I have also seen current bag models of other manufacturers in use, but the "Back Roller (Plus)" remains the best bag on the market.

Pros & Cons

Super easy handling very much storage space. Well finished and you get from the manufacturer at any time spare parts if something breaks. For me, simply a super companion for work or leisure for longer tours. You can always choose whether you want to go with one or two bags. Had now just made a generous purchase and it fit amazingly much purely and even the high weight makes the bags nothing out sit very stable.

Pros & Cons

Took me a while to test these out. Use these on my speedbike they are secure and you can quickly take them off to take with me. Perfect panniers would recommend them to anyone looking for large solid panniers.

Pros & Cons

Truly top of the line bags. Been hesitating which one to take. No regrets for a second. Made a 400 km trip and everything stayed dry. Also the bags stayed on the bike and no problems with cycling. Rolling in was very easy and therefore you have more flexibility with your stuff.

Pros & Cons

I didn't think I could get everything in there. Big, tall and super opening to put things in.

Pros & Cons

Bags fit perfectly on my Gazelle Esprit C7 2021. Installation is easy, and the hanging system works intuitively. Very satisfied with my purchase.

Pros & Cons

Very durable and waterproof bicycle bags.

Pros & Cons

Excellent bags. Are easy to attach and remove from the bike.

Pros & Cons

Very easy and pleasant to use, feels quality, safe.

Pros & Cons

These saddlebags are perfect. After such I was looking for a long time. Am completely satisfied with it. Lots of storage space, practical? chic and waterproof. What more could you want...

Pros & Cons

Have used the same product in a different color for many years to my complete satisfaction. This will probably also apply to the new product.

Pros & Cons

Visually, this bag looks simply tempting.the colors were perfectly matched. With its quality it has also convinced me.it is also really very spacious, so that you can easily put all his things pure, further positive aspect is their water resistance..Even if it rains hard no water penetrates into the bag.it also has a handle, so that you can easily transport it by hand.it met all my criteria and therefore I give it 5 stars

Fully meets my expectations!

Pros & Cons

I have been using panniers from Ortlieb for a long time. The simple mechanism when attaching and removing the bags, the robust and visually pleasing material and the durability of the bags let me always reach for the products of Ortlieb. In my opinion, the higher price is fully worth it - I have the bags but for many years and often in Gebrach.

Pros & Cons

These great, waterproof bike bags are quickly mounted and dismounted. They are very spacious that a multi-day bike tour nothing stands in the way. The modern color makes every luggage rack look great.

Pros & Cons

I had previously Vaude saddlebags, because I had to get used to the suspension system. But must clearly say that the bags are all around top!!!

Pros & Cons

The bag looks good, the waterproof fabric is very valuable and can be easily rolled to close the bag. The reflective stripes provide additional safety. The assembly is easy to do through the quick-release fasteners without tools. The pockets are very spacious, for small stuff there is a subdivision with an open and a zippered inner pocket. With a lot of weight I feel the shoulder bag a little uncomfortable, because the shoulder strap hangs on the coiled pocket closure. For small stopovers but quite sufficient.

Pros & Cons

Perfect panniers to carry stuff for vacation. Extremely practical to use. Robust, waterproof and can take a beating.

Pros & Cons

Works great, some income with the straps, but get used to it quickly!

Very handy bags that can hold a lot. Good to fix on carrier and very nice colors, so also nice to see.

Pros & Cons

Fine waterproof panniers. Already had good experience with these bags

Pros & Cons

I used to take the car when I needed to carry a lot of stuff but thanks to these bags that's a thing of the past! I am pleasantly surprised how much you can fit in these bags! And it's so much more relaxing cycling knowing your bag will never fall off the rack or get wet. It's really super comfortable.

Pros & Cons

Nice stuff, we are happy with it. The latest Gazelle Grenoble e-bikes (which we have) have a rack with rectangular aluminum profile. The round 'cups' of the panniers do not fit on that. Also the Ortlieb bags without cups are round preformed and not rectangular ... Does ortlieb also have clamps, carriers that are preformed rectangular?

Pros & Cons

Waterproof. Easy and quick to hang. Good material. This is how it must be.

Pros & Cons

Great bag, super practical

Pros & Cons

These panniers are as well made as all other Ortlieb products but they are much lighter than some of the more traditional panniers. Despite that, they’ve already survived some downpours and everything inside has remained dry. The internal zipped pocket and sleeve pocket are a welcome addition to stop smaller items getting “lost” inside the main body of the pannier. Once adjusted, they fit really well to the pannier rack and are extremely easy to attach and remove, while remaining secure once they are in place.

Pros & Cons

I haven't used the panniers yet. They're everything I expected.

Beautiful spacious panniers

Pros & Cons

This is my 4th pair, they are solid and beautiful. With frequent use in cold weather, the closures can break, but you have a 5 year warranty and after that you can always order them separately.

Pros & Cons

Qau large the bags are fine, easy to attach. Too easy to take off. I am happy with them.

Pros & Cons

Ortlieb's top-of-the-line docking system

Pros & Cons

Practical bags, easy and sturdy to attach. Fits a lot and they are beautiful. We have the experience that Ortlieb bags last a very long time, hopefully these will too!

Pros & Cons

Everything is well thought out for installation on the bike, relatively clear instructions Good product to recommend

It seems like a contradiction in terms but these panniers are truly gems for any bike!!!

I've just started commuting and these have proved invaluable. They hold loads and are so easy to get on and off the bike. I haven't tested how waterproof they are yet. The carry strap is really great too. I know they are pricey but they are so worth it.

Pros & Cons

My first Ortlieb purchase and probably not my last: the finish inside (small pockets and seams) is perfect, the material is solid, strong (6 liters + extras in 1 bag was no problem), easy to keep clean and indeed waterproof, the suspension system is ingenious. Only downside: carrying the bags or lifting them off the bike when they are packed; a second handle along the other side would help.

Pros & Cons

I am very happy with these bags. They are nicely finished and solid. I am sure they will last a very long time. The pockets are very spacious. Is really enough to carry your laptop, lunch and rainwear. The system is easy to adjust if you use different bikes. Only downside is that you don't have a separate front or side pocket to put away your keys and cell phone.

Pros & Cons

Strong, light, easy to attach, waterproof but also pricey

Pros & Cons

Fine bags, waterproof, easy to put on and take off.

Pros & Cons

Very handy bike bags. I would like to add 2 more things. An extra pocket on the outside where you can put a small thing that is allowed to get wet. A ring where you can put a lock through so you can lock the bags to your bike.

Pros & Cons

Bought these for a bikepacking trip and they came in really handy. Easy to use and lots of space inside!
