Reasons to buy

  • Weatherproof and durable while still being lightweight to use.
  • Sleek and clean looking design.
  • Available in 17L or 29L.
  • Quite comfortable to use.

Things to consider

  • There's no external water bottle pocket.
  • The top-loading design means you have to plan how you will pack this bag because getting items that are located at the bottom may be difficult as you have to unload everything to get it.
  • Could use some external pockets.

What reviewers said

  • "I use it for bike commuting. I have only ridden in a light rain once, but everything stayed completely dry. My brother has had one for years and reports great durability and waterproof capability."
  • "The pack is wonderful and super waterproof. I have used it on my Seattle bike commute for years. But more than that, the service department is out of this world! If anything on the pack goes south, they will go the extra mile to make sure they take care of you. I had an older pack that I wanted repaired, I sent it to them and they turned me around so fast it was very surprising. I have never dealt with a company that takes such good care of their customers. An amazing experience!"
  • "This bag rocks. Instantly comfortable, secure, spacious. I have eyed this for a long time and finally pulled the trigger to happy results. It fits everything for my work commute. It's cheaper than panniers and safer too. I am really free to stand up on the pedals and really get some body torque into my ride without the fear that my pannier might slip off the cage."

Ortlieb Velocity review

The bag is extremely comfortable, even when stuffed to the brim with bike kit and spare jumpers. There’s not much technical going on at the rear of the pack – it’s just simple chunks of dense foam placed against the back provide excellent padding, while the gaps between them allowing air to circulate.
Ortlieb Velocity Backpack: Long Term Review

So, this is just my ode to this backpack: it’s not fancy, it doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, but it works like a freaking dream for carting around a lot of $hit while keeping your back and shoulders happy. And in the rain, even your laptop is safe. At this point, I use it probably 5 days each week.

One thing I really love with this bag is it has the adjustable shoulder straps to make it super comfortable or if i want it super tight, I can do that. The waist strap really hugs it to my waist so I don’t feel like the bag is flopping around which good especially on my motorcycle.
