Ortlieb

I bought the 9L bag on sale/clearance so it was a decent deal. Quality seems good but I think you pay a premium for the Ortlieb brand. Used it on a recent multi-day ride on the Katy Trail and it functioned as expected. Contents stayed clean and dry, although the little rain encountered was fairly light. I used a small bungee cord to make the bag a bit more narrow and compact - reducing interference with the brake/shift levers. I would buy again.

Super nice bag. Love the extra pocket on the front. Roll top is easy access. Secure straps work well. Only reason I gave four stars on both is because the bag is expensive compared to may economical options on Amazon. Also, I did have to buy 20mm adapters for my rack so keep that in mind if the tubing on your bike is a bigger diameter. I also purchased an internal organizer that has a laptop sleeve, extra padding and pockets that is helpful.

First I want to point out that this is an early review but thought I' give my impressions so far. One, they are solid and very well made. I have their Sport Packers and they have been great but I wanted to have a larger option. The roll closure is certainly different and is taking a little getting used to but I think I'm going to like them. The size is nice. I was afraid they would be too big like a couple of hay bales back there but not so. One thing to note is that mine came with the QL2.2 attaching system, which is nice! The 2.1 is good but these are even better IMO. I'll do more with them and more heavily pack them in the future but for now I'm very happy with the purchase.

This bag is awesome! Flap definitely stays shut on rough gravel/dirt tracks. It opens and secures easily. It is wide, and there is slight brushing with the legs when standing, but I no longer notice it. I carry iPhone 15, billfold, and many snacks in it. When stopping for coffee or breakfast, it goes in with me. Uses an excellent quick attachment system. Lots of thought and planning, and typical German first class manufacturing are apparent.
