Ortlieb packs in features from across its existing waterproof products including reflective detailing for visibility on late night road connections, shockcord webbing for stashing outerwear easily and aluminium buckles for attaching the Ortlieb Accessory Pack. One feature sadly absent from the handlebar roll which is found on the seat pack is the purge valve, which allows excess air to escape when rolling the bag closed.This simple removable pack pairs with Ortlieb’s Handlebar Pack (above) to make a really versatile handlebar system. It can be used on its own too as a mini 3.5-litre pack, attaching via a pair of velcro straps, and then integrated back with the handlebar pack via sturdy aluminium buckles. The roll top does a great job of keeping water out and is easy to get into, even with cold wet fingers.
