Ortlieb Back Roller with Zip Pocket

Since 1987, the classic ORTLIEB Back-Roller has proven that legendary design only needs refinement, not reinvention. The Back-Roller 20L Zip Pocket represents the next evolution of this iconic pannier, setting a new benchmark for everyday durability and wet-weather performance. Featuring an IP64-rated main compartment and an accessible IP64 front zip pocket, it protects your essentials from heavy rain, wind, and dust while keeping frequently used gear within reach without opening the main roll-top closure.

Built with Tidura Fabric

What sets this Back Roller Pannier version apart from the standard Classic or Plus Back-Rollers is ORTLIEB’s proprietary TIDURA® strong fabric. Unlike traditional off-the-shelf textiles, TIDURA® is an in-house material system engineered, woven, coated, and welded directly by ORTLIEB in Germany. By fusing the textile base, TPU coating, and seamless welding technology into one unified structure, TIDURA® strong delivers superior performance compared to previous fabric options. It boasts an incredible tensile strength of up to 2,400 Newtons and withstands over 100,000 abrasion cycles under rigorous testing, offering far greater tear resistance, ruggedness, and longevity for demanding conditions.

Equipped with the tool-free QL2.2 mounting system, the bag attaches flexibly and securely to almost any standard bike rack in seconds. Off the bike, the removable padded shoulder strap allows for comfortable carrying, securing the roll closure or stowing neatly in the front pocket when not needed. Made in Heilsbronn, Germany, and backed by a five-year warranty, fully replaceable components, and factory repair support, this TIDURA®-equipped Back-Roller is built to endure a lifetime of intensive riding.
