ORTLIEB
After returning home from a miserable, wet cycle tour of South England in 1981, Hartmut, the founder of Ortlieb, started making a pannier out of red truck tarp on his mother’s sewing machine. He fixed the lid with a piece of webbing strap and used hooks from the hardware store to fix the pack to the bike rack.
The rear pannier was followed by a handle bar bag, and very soon after, the demand was too high for a one man operation so family members and friends were roped in and ORTLIEB was founded in 1982.
Today, Ortlieb is synonymous with cycle travel for making 100% waterproof, practical, and functional luggage and touring accessories. Ortlieb manufacture all of their waterproof products at their production facility in Heilsbronn, Germany. High product quality, durability and their own repair service are integral to Ortlieb’s philosophy.

Say hello to Ortlieb’s new waterproof handlebar bag, for multi-day bikepacking or long days out on the bike.
So, what’s different to their handlebar rolls? Well, this is a more rigid bag that makes use of a quick-release system (what they’re calling a ‘bar-lock cord attachment’) – a hybrid between soft bikepacking luggage and more of a cradle mounting system. At 11L, it’s a great size bag – and with two sets of straps, there is plenty of options for carrying slightly less and compressing the bag.
Despite the initial look and feel, the bar-lock card fixing/attachment system is super sturdy on all terrain – ideal for those gravel bikepacking adventures, and all those parmesan wedges you need carrying…
