ORTLIEB
Based in Heilsbron, Germany, the people behind Ortlieb have been making backpacks for almost 40 years.
The first ORTLIEB bike panniers were created in pure personal need for waterproof equipment – it wasn’t widely available at the time! The first products were hand-made on the founder’s mother’s sewing machine: dry bags and bicycle panniers made of truck tarps. What started very simple has soon developed into a story of success.
