ORTLIEB Velocity 23 L

The Ortlieb Velocity 23 L is a commuter backpack designed for cyclists who need their gear to stay dry, organised and comfortable across the full journey. With a 23-litre capacity (50 x 30 x 16 cm) and a maximum load of 10 kg, it handles a full day's worth of work essentials, spare kit and lunch without issue. The IP64 weatherproof rating means the bag resists dust and water jets from any angle. The roll-top closure with self-adhesive velcro seals the bag without a zip — so there's no weak point for moisture to creep through. The main shell is made from PU-coated polyester (PD620/PS620C) for lasting durability in real-world conditions. A dedicated padded compartment fits laptops up to 15.4 inches (36 x 24.5 x 2.5 cm), keeping your device protected and separate from the rest of your load. The ventilated foam back panel reduces heat build-up during the ride, and the ergonomic shoulder straps, chest strap and removable waist belt distribute weight evenly so the bag stays stable even at speed. A reinforced base with edge guards and stabilising feet protects the bag whenever you set it down. Manufactured in Heilsbronn, Germany, the Velocity comes with a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Individual components like the velcro and wear parts are available as replacements — a meaningful advantage if you want a bag that lasts for years rather than seasons.
