Whether you’re commuting in the rain, bikepacking in the muddy forest or on a really big adventure, the reliable waterproof feature of our backpacks, bike and travel bags ensures that your equipment stays dry, ALWAYS! How? Well, instead of sewing, we weld the seams together through an innovative process. This gives us an IP protection rating of up to IP67. 

The ORTLIEB pannier has always enjoyed the reputation of being indestructible among cyclists. And we are proud of that. That is why we give you a five-year warrantee for all our bags, whether it's a bike bag, a backpack, a hiking bag or a trekking backpack. If something should break, even after years of use, we'll be happy to repair your ORTLIEB product for you. Of course, we also offer many spare parts for at-home repairs. This is our commitment to sustainability through longevity.

Our roots are in Middle Franconia, where Hartmut Ortlieb constructed his very first bicycle bag, and production continues here today. All ORTLIEB bags are produced in Heilsbronn, in a fair, sustainable and resource-saving manner. We really are made in Germany, and we pay close attention to our CO2 footprint and optimize our distribution routes accordingly. Every waterproof bike bag and hiking backpack from ORTLIEB is a piece of sustainability in action.
