More on durability and repair.

How robust is the Big-Zip?

ORTLIEB products are extremely robust because we use high-quality materials and permanently weld all seams. This eliminates the need for stitching or bonding, and all connections are at least as strong as the material itself. If something does get damaged, holes can be safely rewelded by us or by our authorized service partners.

How do I pack my travel bag as efficiently as possible?

Pack heavy items at the bottom and lighter ones on top. To avoid wrinkles in your clothes, you can simply roll them to save space or use small organizers like Packing Cubes. These help you structure the large main compartment even better and compress folded clothing.

How much volume should my travel bag have?

That depends on how long you are traveling and how much you want to take with you. Here is a quick orientation:

30 L: Ideal for weekend trips or short business travel. Typical carry-on size for flights.
40 L: Suitable for 3-4 day trips. Fits roughly as much as a full laundry basket.
60 L: Perfect for one-week trips or sports gear. Comparable in space to a standard moving box.
80 L: Holds about the same as two full laundry baskets. Suitable for one to two weeks of travel or trips with varying climates.
110 L: Designed for multi-week trips, expeditions, or extensive outdoor equipment. Offers space for tent, sleeping bag, and clothing.
