Go the distance in any weather. The Ortlieb Back-Roller 20L Pair is the gold standard for global bicycle touring, hardcore daily commuting, and urban grocery runs. Offering a combined 40 litres of 100% dustproof and waterproof storage, these legendary rear rack panniers are built to survive the harshest conditions on Earth. Engineered with Ortlieb's tool-free mounting system and backed by a 5-year warranty, they keep your clothes, electronics, and gear bone-dry whether you're crossing the Andes or riding through a winter storm.
Core Benefits & Product Description
When it comes to keeping your gear dry, accept no substitutes. The Ortlieb Back-Roller pair features the brand's iconic hermetic roll-top closure system paired with specialized high-frequency welded seams. This creates an impermeable barrier rated to IP64 standards, meaning the bag is completely dust-tight and immune to heavy splashing water from any direction. Rain, mud, snow, and road spray simply slide right off.
Mounting the bags takes less than two seconds. Utilising the highly adjustable Quick-Lock2.1 (QL2.1) mounting system, the panniers automatically lock onto your rear rack the moment you release the top handle. Pulling up on the handle releases the hooks instantly, letting you grab the bags and go. The lower elliptical anchor hook keeps the bags perfectly flush against your bike frame, completely eliminating swaying, rattling, or heel‑strike when descending at high speeds.
Off the bike, the included detachable shoulder straps turn your rugged bike luggage into comfortable, easy-to-carry bags for wandering through the supermarket, walking into the office, or checking into a campsite.
