WHAT TYPE OF COMMUTER ARE YOU?
Rain, shine, or rush hour—your bags should be the least of your worries.
The Commuter
Whether you're weaving through morning traffic, braving an evening downpour, or hauling a week's worth of groceries home on Friday afternoon, your commute is yours alone. The right bags don't just carry your gear—they transform the way you ride. Fast to clip, quicker to unclip. Waterproof, durable, and built for the daily grind.
Vario Daypack Series
The shape-shifter. A fully waterproof pannier that converts to a comfortable backpack in seconds. Click it on the rack for your bike ride, unclip it, take out the padded carrying system and walk in looking polished. Holds a laptop, lunch, gym kit, and daily essentials. Smart commuting starts here.
Vibe: Seamless, smart, and professional
Target Capacity: ~21L
The Messenger
For the rider who lives in the city and moves through it like water. You weave between cars, dash through yellow lights and lock up outside cafes without a second thought. You need a bag that moves with you—not one that flaps, shifts or slows you down.
This is where the Messenger Bag earns its reputation. Favoured by couriers and daily riders worldwide, it's built for the rhythm of urban streets.
The urban professional's choice. Favoured by bike couriers worldwide for its slim profile, waterproof construction, and roll-top flexibility. Sits close to the body with foam backing and chest/waist belts—stable during sprints and sudden stops. Reflective strips and side reflectors keep you visible in traffic. Tough, functional, and built for the city that never sleeps.
Vibe: Agile, visible, and city-tough
Target Capacity: ~20-28L
The Errand-Runner
For the rider who treats their bike like a city car. Farmers' market stops, library returns, unexpected shopping finds—you need a bag that's always ready and easy to use.
This commuter values quick access, urban agility and bags that match the rhythm of city life. No fuss, no complicated straps—just click and go.
Uptown Series
Purpose-built for the city. The Rack versions mount on any rear rack and ope wide like a suitcase—no more digging to the bottom for your wallet. Reflective details keep you visible, and the waterproof roll-top shrinks down when the bag isn't full. Perfect for quick errands or a full day of urban exploring.
The handlebar versions are where Retro charm meets modern utility. This handlebar basket flips open from the front for instant access to your phone, keys, or wallet—no cover removal required. Lightweight, waterproof, and tip-resistant thanks to its inner frame. The removable cover means you're ready for sunshine or sudden rain. Perfect for bakery runs, farmers' market trips, and keeping an eye on your belongings while you ride.
Vibe: Practical, and city-smart

The Hauler
For the rider who believes a bike can replace a car. Grocery runs, bulk shopping, carrying for the whole household—if it fits, it ships.
This commuter demands maximum volume, rock-solid stability, and the legendary durability that Ortlieb is known for. These bags are built to carry heavy loads, day after day, year after year.
Back-Roller Series
The icon. For more than 40 years, these have been the gold standard of bike commuting. The QL2.1 mounting system allows you to click your bag on and off with a single hand in one second. Fully waterproof, virtually indestructible and cavernous enough for a week's worth of groceries or a full change of clothes plus gear. Available in Classic, Core, Plus, High Vis, Cyber or Urban finishes to match your style. Two bags. One bike. Unlimited possibilities.
Pair it with a removable practical organization system with padded inserts. Pack the Commuter Insert with your laptop, lunchbox, documents, water bottle, pens, cell phone, change of shoes, etc. – and then simply insert it into your pannier.
