ORTLIEB Vario - QL2.1 Bike Pannier / Backpack - 26L - cyber blue/pink

Backpack or bike bag?

With the versatile and innovative Vario, you no longer have to ask yourself this question. Faster than ever before, the Vario transforms from a backpack into a bike bag. On one side is one of our Quick-Lock attachment systems, and on the other is the padded carrying system with a chest strap and ergonomic shoulder straps. The so-called flap with an integrated bag covers whichever side isn’t needed. Additionally, you can stow gear you need quick access to while on the go in the zippered outer bag. Everything else you need is accessible via the practical and proven roll-top closure, such as your laptop, which fits into the designated padded compartment. This waterproof hybrid is PVC-free and has sustainability features that ensure it is manufactured in Germany.
