Vario PS 20L Pannier

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I used to carry a separate pack for commuting after rides, but the Vario changed that. The backpack-to-pannier conversion is smooth, and it feels comfortable both on the bike and on my back. The QL2.1 mounting system holds tight on my rack, even on bumpy roads. It's rare to find something this versatile and actually waterproof."

We're not ones to choose between the trail and the town—and with the ORTLIEB Vario PS 20L Pannier, we don’t have to. This hybrid bag moves seamlessly from our daily commute to post-ride errands, transforming from a pannier to a backpack in seconds. One side mounts securely to our rack with the QL2.1 system, while the other features padded ergonomic shoulder straps for easy carry.

Crafted in Germany with ORTLIEB's legendary waterproof construction, the Vario PS keeps our gear dry when the skies open up. The roll-top main compartment protects our essentials while a padded sleeve cushions our laptop. An integrated flap hides the side we're not using and adds a zipped pocket for easy-access items. PVC-free and built to last, this bag's about making the most of every ride—wherever we’re headed next.
