ORTLIEB Velocity 23 L TS

The Ortlieb Velocity 23 L is a messenger-style backpack engineered for year-round commuting. Its PD620 / PS620C three-layer PU-coated fabric and roll-top Velcro closure deliver IP64 certification, meaning the bag is protected against water splashing from any direction as well as dust — no rain cover needed. At 23 litres (50 × 30 × 16 cm) with a 10 kg maximum load, it handles everything from a laptop and lunch to gym kit and a change of clothes. The dedicated padded laptop compartment (36 × 24.5 × 2.5 cm) fits most 15-inch notebooks, and the foam-padded back panel promotes airflow to keep you comfortable on the ride in. The solid base with quadrapod stabiliser feet and edge protectors means the bag sits upright and stays intact wherever you set it down. A mount for an optional rear light or helmet adds cycling-specific convenience. Weighing 880 g and crafted in Heilsbronn, Germany, the Velocity comes with a 5-year warranty from authorised retailers.
