Perfect pack for cross-city commutes
If you’ve ever watches hordes of city workers streaming into train and tube stations on a Monday morning, you’ll know that commuting can be tough: a no-holds-barred, cut-throat race to grab a coffee, a bacon roll and get outta there. Your typical office bag just doesn’t cut it in this fast-paced environment: 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 work laptop. Not good. Ortlieb’s Commuter Daypack is that rare thing: a rough and tough drybag with elegant, contemporary looks. The robust Cordura fabric looks and feels like woven fabric but is totally waterproof. So too is the practical rolltop closure, which still offers fast access to the main compartment as well as the padded sub-compartment, where your tablet can be stowed for safekeeping. Plenty of attention has gone into carrying comfort too, thanks to clever TPU back padding with smart ventilation channels to deliver great airflow – whether you’re peddling across town or running down the platform to catch that 5:57 train.

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.
