ORTLIEB Velocity 23 L

The Ortlieb Velocity 23 L is built for people who commute by bike and refuse to compromise on protection. Its PU-coated fabric (PD620/PS620C) combined with a velcro roll-top closure delivers IP64 waterproofing — meaning water jets and dust from any direction simply cannot get inside. No rain cover required, no second-guessing when the weather turns. The bag offers 23 litres of capacity (50 × 30 × 16 cm) with a maximum load of 10 kg — plenty of room for a full working day. A dedicated padded laptop compartment (36 × 24.5 × 2.5 cm) fits laptops up to 15.4 inches, and a large internal zipped pocket with organiser keeps smaller items tidy and accessible. Carrying comfort is well thought-out: padded ergonomic shoulder straps, removable chest and hip belts, a thick ventilated foam back panel, and a grab handle for quick lifts. The reinforced rigid base with corner protectors and quadrapod feet means the bag stands upright on its own — useful on wet platforms or office floors. There's also an attachment point for an optional rear light or helmet. Manufactured in Heilsbronn, Germany, the Velocity 23 L is designed to last — and when something does wear out, spare parts are available (velcro, straps and more), so you won't need to replace the whole bag.
