Frequently Asked Questions

How do the different Commuter Daypack models differ?

All ORTLIEB daypacks share the same functional and waterproof interior layout but differ in material, volume, and back system.
The Commuter Daypack and the Urban variant are available in 21 and 27 liters. They feature a ventilated foam-padded back system that ensures stability and everyday carrying comfort. The other models use a TPU back pad with ventilation channels. This rests especially softly against the back and provides additional comfort, particularly on longer routes.
The outer material also varies: The Urban material has a textured, textile look and feel, while the High-Vis version is made of reflective fabric for maximum visibility in road traffic.
The Daypack Metrosphere is designed as an elegant business version. Its smooth, premium material and the additional external address compartment make it an ideal companion for travel or office use.

What size should my backpack be?

If you’re unsure, choose the 27-liter backpack. The extra storage space is barely noticeable while riding and offers more flexibility, especially during the cooler season when you carry additional clothing or groceries.
If you need less storage and prefer a slim, compact backpack, the 21-liter version is the better choice for you.

Is the Commuter-Daypack Urban waterproof?

The Commuter-Daypack Urban is waterproof according to protection class IP64. This rating indicates:

The product is dust-tight and protected against splashing water from all directions. Even in very heavy rain and splashing water, the contents stay perfectly dry. The Commuter-Daypack Urban is therefore ideal for longer outdoor adventures in stormy conditions.

How robust is the Commuter-Daypack Urban?

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.
