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.

Our mounting systems in comparison

The QL mounting systems on ORTLIEB panniers allow fast and secure mounting on racks. They are referred to as self-locking fixing systems, for the panniers provided with this system can be mounted to the racks in an easy and safe manner. In case of damage all components can be replaced easily.

Quick-Lock2.2

Making good things even better – that was the goal in developing the Quick-Lock system, proven millions of times over. The result is Quick-Lock2.2, even easier to handle, more comfortable, and more robust.

Quick-Lock3.1

The QL3.1 system is especially developed for office and city bags an its secret lies in the fact that the main mounting components stay on the rack. This results in a smooth rear side of the bag that is free of protruding hooks, and significantly improves the bag’s carrying comfort when off the bike.

Quick-Lock2.1

This mounting system for bike panniers is the further development of ORTLIEB’s milestone setting QL1 system. All hooks are adjustable to the rack without requiring any tools. Therefore, the panniers can be easily switched from one bike to another.
