Ortlieb’s Office Bag is a waterproof pannier with a roomy capacity of 21L and also includes a laptop sleeve (13.3” or 15.4”), the QL3 mounting system, reflective accents, and a removable strap. This bag comes in medium and large sizes in four different colors.

WHAT I EXPECTED

To be able to transport my work stuff safely and without having to cram it all into a backpack.

WHAT SURPRISED ME

The Office Bag was easy to carry around off the bike as it basically becomes a brief case. The folding top was kind of awkward at first and I found that the mounts didn’t always attach as tightly to my bike as I would have liked.

HOW IT COMPARES

This bag is much easier on my body than a backpack or messenger bag.

IDEAL USER

Someone who tends to bring their work home.
