Ortlieb Vario PS Pannier/Backpack QL2.1
The Ortlieb Vario PS Pannier and Backpack with QL2.1 mounting is an innovative hybrid bag designed to transition seamlessly between a high-performance pannier and an ergonomic backpack in seconds. Engineered for urban commuters, touring cyclists, and multi-modal travellers, this 26-litre waterproof pack eliminates the compromise between on-bike capacity and off-bike carrying comfort.
Dual-Function Reversible Flap & Quick-Lock2.1 System
Equipped with Ortlieb's proven Quick-Lock2.1 mounting system on one side and a padded backpack harness on the other, the bag uses a clever reversible flap to cover whichever side is not in use. The QL2.1 mechanism hooks securely onto standard rear rack rails up to 16mm in diameter, offering single-handed attachment and release without requiring tools.
Waterproof Roll Closure & Padded Laptop Storage
Manufactured in Germany from PVC-free, polyurethane-coated nylon fabric (PS33), the bag features a classic roll-top closure to ensure complete protection against heavy downpours. The internal compartment includes a dedicated padded sleeve to safeguard a laptop, while a zippered flap pocket and side mesh pocket keep smaller items organized and within easy reach.
Ergonomic Harness & Night-Time Visibility
When worn as a backpack, breathable shoulder straps, an adjustable chest strap, and padded back contact zones distribute weight evenly across the shoulders. Integrated high-visibility reflectors on the sides, paired with reflective yarn woven directly into the shoulder straps, enhance safety when riding or walking in low-light conditions.
