ORTLIEB Messenger-Bag Backpack – Waterproof Backpack for Bike Couriers and Everyday Commuting

ORTLIEB Messenger-Bag – a spacious and durable waterproof backpack designed for professional bike couriers, everyday urban commuting and active lifestyles. This model is built for intensive use where carrying larger loads conveniently and accessing essential items quickly are important. The classic courier backpack design makes it suitable for transporting parcels, work essentials, clothing or other equipment, so it works well not only for professional use but also for everyday cyclists.

Key features:

• IP64 water resistance: when properly closed, the backpack is completely protected against dust and water splashes from all directions, helping keep belongings dry even when riding in heavy rain.
• Durable polyester and Cordura construction: PVC-coated polyester (PD620) provides water resistance, while reinforced Cordura (PS620C) side panels offer increased resistance to abrasion, bending and everyday wear.
• Roll-Top closure system: the roll-top with a long hook-and-loop fastening allows the backpack to be opened and closed quickly and its height to be adjusted to the size of the load. To ensure IP64 protection, the top should be rolled 3–4 times and properly secured.
• Ergonomic back construction: padded foam support with ventilation channels provides a comfortable fit and improved airflow, helping reduce discomfort during longer rides.
• Adjustable shoulder straps: anatomically shaped and padded straps adapt to the body and provide comfortable weight distribution.
• Chest and waist straps: additional adjustable straps stabilise the backpack and help keep it close to the body during intensive pedalling, sprinting or sudden braking.
• Reflective elements: reflective threads integrated into the shoulder straps and two 3M Scotchlite reflectors on the sides of the backpack improve cyclist visibility in low-light conditions.
• Reinforced lower corners: additional abrasion protection helps prevent damage when the backpack is frequently placed on the ground.
• Welded seams: materials joined using a special welding process provide long-lasting waterproofing and protection against water.
• Compatible with additional compartments: the backpack can be equipped with the separately available ORTLIEB Messenger-Bag Laptop Compartment for carrying a laptop. Compatibility depends on the internal attachment system.
• Convenient carrying: the top handle makes the backpack easy to pick up and move when it is not being worn.
• Easy maintenance: the waterproof surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth or mild soap solution. No additional fabric impregnation is required.
• Replaceable components: the repairable construction allows worn straps, buckles and other parts to be replaced, helping extend the service life of the backpack.
• Made in Germany: the backpack is manufactured at the ORTLIEB factory in Heilsbronn in accordance with high standards of quality and durability.
