Reflective bike bag for cross-city commutes

All-weather commuting can be tough. Your typical office bag just doesn’t cut it: after a while, it’ll fray at the seams or bust a zip. Even worse, on wet days it’ll leak water like a sieve, soaking all your stuff (including your carefully prepared board presentation). Ortlieb’s Office Bag is different: a tough, waterproof commuter bag with understated looks. This version also features high visibility reflective materials to ensure you can stay safe and be seen on the roads, whether you’re riding home after pulling a late one at the office or leaving home early on dark winter mornings. The bag has ample space for two A4 files or folders plus two organiser pouches to store pens, notebooks and smartphones. Thanks to the QL2.1 or 3.1 mounting system, it attaches quickly and easily to the luggage rack of almost any bike. Use the padded, detachable carrying strap to haul it from ground level to your office floor, where it’ll sit neatly under your desk on its stable base feet.

Life in the great outdoors is unpredictable, which is why it’s wise to be prepared. Basically, if your adventure goes from dry to downpour, you want your kit to stay safe and protected. Ortlieb’s durable, waterproof bike bags and backpacks are the ideal solution.

The first Ortlieb bag was invented in Germany in 1981, after founder Hartmut Ortlieb got back from a very wet bikepacking adventure in (you guessed it) Southern England. Inspired by tarpaulins he’d seen lashed on the truck beds of lorries, he fashioned a pair of bike panniers from red truck tarp, which he stitched at home on his mother’s sewing machine.

A year later he founded his own company, buoyed by early success and positive feedback from friends. In the following years, young Hartmut came up with a series of innovations that would define the modern drybag, using high frequency welded seams and roll-top closures. He even developed the first self-locking mounting system to attach panniers to bike frames.

Today, Ortlieb remains the first and most trusted choice for adventures and expeditions on land or sea – a brand name synonymous with waterproof protection and super-tough, outdoor-ready gear.
