Backpack Vario Plus 26L QL2.2

Whether as a backpack or a bicycle bag, the Vario Plus offers maximum flexibility for your journey.


Rear pannier or backpack? With the versatile Vario Plus, you don’t have to choose. Designed for seamless transitions, it converts from a comfortable bike bag to a practical backpack—and back again—with just one hand. One side features the trusted Quick-Lock mounting system for a secure fit on your bike, while the other side includes a padded shoulder harness and chest strap for maximum carrying comfort. A smartly designed flap with an integrated pocket neatly covers the side not in use, ensuring a sleek look.
The zippered outer pocket keeps essentials within quick reach, while the spacious main compartment is easily accessible via the roll-top closure. A padded laptop compartment provides extra protection for sensitive devices.
Constructed from durable, waterproof Plus material, the Vario Plus is built to withstand the elements. Like all ORTLIEB products, it is PVC-free and proudly made in Germany—an ideal choice for demanding commuters and outdoor adventurers alike.
