Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Office-Bag High-Vis be mounted on both sides of the luggage rack?

Yes, with the Quick-Lock system you can generally mount the bag on either side of the luggage rack. On Office-Bags with Quick-Lock2.1, a slight angle provides more leg clearance, which means the bag is optimized for only one side at a time. If you want to switch sides, the upper rail can be reassembled according to the instructions.

Does the Office-Bag High-Vis fit my luggage rack?

ORTLIEB bags with the Quick-Lock mounting system are compatible with almost all luggage racks. The Quick-Lock2.1 and Quick-Lock2.2 systems fit racks with tube diameters from 8 mm to 16 mm. Bags with Quick-Lock3.1 require special attachment points on the luggage rack, which can easily be retrofitted using a mounting kit if necessary.

To the QL3.1 mounting kit

Which mounting system is right for me?

That depends on how you want to use your bag.
All ORTLIEB mounting systems sit securely on the bike and can be operated comfortably with one hand.

The Quick-Lock2 systems are ideal if you frequently attach your bag to different luggage racks. The hooks lock securely onto the rack tube and hold reliably. The Quick-Lock2.2 system also offers higher load capacity and can be flexibly adjusted to different tube diameters.

If you prefer a bag without visible hooks on the back, the Quick-Lock3.1 system is the right choice. The bag clicks into special mounting points on the rack or into a permanently installed bracket and locks securely in place.

You can find more information and an overview of all systems on our Quick-Lock overview page.

What is the difference between the Office-Bag and the Commuter-Bag Urban?

Both bags are waterproof bicycle briefcases for daily commuting but differ in construction and style.
The Office-Bag uses a roll closure and offers a large main compartment with space for two A4 folders as well as an internal divider with additional pockets. The laptop compartment is less padded, but a plastic reinforcement provides stability. Thanks to the roll closure, the bag is waterproof.
The Commuter-Bag Urban, on the other hand, uses a flap closure and combines functionality with a modern, textile look. It features a more heavily padded laptop compartment and is particularly comfortable for everyday use in urban traffic.

What is the difference between the Office-Bag and the Office-Bag High-Vis?

The High Visibility version is made from a fully reflective fabric and ensures maximum visibility in traffic. Construction, features and functionality are identical to the classic Office-Bag.

Where is the Office-Bag High-Vis manufactured?

The Office-Bag High-Vis is manufactured in Heilsbronn, Germany, standing for genuine “Made in Germany” quality. Every production step, from material cutting to final inspection, takes place in our own facilities. Materials are sourced locally, regionally, or internationally according to strict requirements. Our high standards for raw materials extend the product’s lifespan and conserve resources.
