Ortlieb Messenger Bag

— Show original

I needed a sturdy backpack so that I could walk briskly to the grocery store a couple of kilometers away, hands-free and regardless of the weather. This messenger backpack was the perfect solution! The Ortlieb backpack can hold a couple of regular plastic bags of food. It can handle even slightly heavier items - as long as the backpack carrier is strong enough. The contents stay dry even in heavy rain. The shoulder straps are reasonably comfortable, although the size is a bit taller than me (160 cm) and I would probably like additional straps around the waist. The simple and sturdy structure is an advantage, there are no extra pockets etc. in the way of packing. The support panel on the back allows you to carry papers or other items that need to stay relatively straight if necessary. I would of course recommend a folder for additional protection for loose sheets of paper. The backpack is rather large, but not so gigantic that you wouldn't dare to carry it around the village. It is suitable for transporting a wide variety of goods and hobby equipment effortlessly, especially in situations where a car may not be available.

Plenty of space, feels comfortable on the back and keeps things dry. Velcro closure is good and at least it still stays on well. Good backpack, used every day.

Simple and spacious backpack. Bought for commuting. Feels really comfortable on the back. The bag doesn't have any kind of organization, so you have to take care of it yourself with packing bags etc.

Big-ass bag. Feels comfortable on back. Can recommend.

This is a giant backpack, so there's plenty of room! The only minus is that, for example, the keys do not have their own compartment. Well, I'll buy it afterwards. Ortlieb is guaranteed quality and these last, I have sworn by these for a long time.

Does exactly what it promises. Stays on the back, keeps the hair dry and is simple and durable.

A great backpack, for those who need more space. The only minus is that in the 2024 model, the buttons for the accessories pocket have been removed from the inside of the backpack and replaced with a sticker. I haven't found a similar inner pocket for the new attachment, as in the old Velocity.

If necessary, the backpack can also fit a laptop bag with a change of clothes. However, I haven't been able to test it in real rain yet. Successful acquisition.

A waterproof backpack that is comfortable to carry and very roomy! This can fit the signed person's belongings for the day (training gear + work machine). Works in the capital region's wet weather.

After the praises of the crank monkey, I bought it and like the crank monkey, I use this nowadays almost every time I need a backpack. Mysteriously good fit
