ORTLIEB VARIO LITE Backpack and Pannier

Versatile, practical and compact!
VARIO is not just a name, it is a concept that stands for flexibility. The VARIO LITE backpack pannier from ORTLIEB is also made for everyday mobility. On one side you will find the QUICK-LOCK2.1 hooks, with which you can quickly attach the pannier to the luggage carrier. On the other side are ergonomic shoulder straps and a padded back.

The Vario system: The practical flap can be easily hooked onto the side of the bag and covers one of the two fronts as required – a clever combination of design and practicality!

Your everyday essentials are protected from wind and weather in the waterproof main compartment of the 2-in-1 bag. The backpack bag is compatible with almost all standard luggage racks. If your pannier rack stays have a diameter of more than 16 mm, you can attach the matching QL2.1 hooks to your bag as spare parts (optionally available, see below).

Highlights & Technologies:

QUICK-LOCK2.1:
The bicycle bag mounting system QL2.1 is based on the proven QL2 system, but has been further upgraded to perfectly fit current pannier rack models.
• Comfortable single-handed operation
• The 16 mm Quick-Lock hooks come with reducing sleeves with anti-scratch function in 8, 10 and 12 mm. For a more secure connection, the reducing sleeves of the QL2.1 are fitted into the base hook from the sides
• For optimal stability the upper hook rail comes in a single-piece design, yet it can be adjusted to fit the either side of the rack on Office-Bag and Downtown models
• A special tightening technique allows the use of particularly flat nut washers on the inside. This makes it almost flat and protects the goods being transported
• The lower hook rail consists of a two-component plastic with anti-scratch function. The contact surfaces are soft to reduce rubbing against the rack tube. The lower hook rail is rotatable in 15-degree steps and adjustable in height.
• All hooks may be adjusted without tools and replaced within seconds
• The upper rail is compatible with optional theft protection systems

Note:
The reflective design elements attached as decorative elements do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
