Premium Convertible Backpack and Pannier with Laptop Protection
The Ortlieb Vario is an innovative hybrid bag that transforms intuitively from backpack to pannier in just seconds, offering maximum flexibility for commuters and touring cyclists. Featuring Quick-Lock attachment systems on one side and a padded carrying system with chest strap and ergonomic shoulder straps on the other, the Vario converts faster than ever before. A reversible flap with an integrated pocket covers the side not in use, ensuring shoulder straps and hooks are completely concealed in each mode for comfort and a clean appearance.
For quick access items, a zippered outer pocket sits on the exterior, while the proven roll closure provides access to the main compartment, including a padded laptop compartment (36 cm × 24.5 cm × 2.5 cm). Waterproof construction to IP64 standards protects contents from dust, rain, and splashing water from all directions. Breathable materials and even weight distribution keep the bag comfortable even on warm days and longer routes. This PVC-free hybrid bag is sustainably manufactured in Germany with permanently welded seams and designed for repair, built to last decades with spare parts available for at least ten years after discontinuation.
