TELL YOUR FRIENDS
For the modern worker, the Ortlieb Office Bag QL3 offers a cool, waterproof design with what you might expect for all your commuting essentials. The QL3 sports a 21L carrying case, built for full rack integration and an easy “on-off” system for the busy biker. With Two Scotchalite panels for extra visibility and a matte grey exterior, the best part of this piece is the button down design; purposeful, clean-cut and sleek.

WISH LIST
Ideally the base model would come with pouches for electronics and a laptop cover, and the mounting unit precludes some other pannier systems, so consider your specific needs before instillation. If you require versatility, this may not be ideal.

SUMMARY
For those aiming for a sturdy, businesslike and utilitarian bag for shuttling accoutrements between office and home, this may be just the piece of equipment for you!
