Finding the right backpack is a challenge. It should have plenty of storage space but look as sleek and minimal as possible. It should be comfortable and, of course, match your outfit. On that note, it should complement your outfit, not be an attention-grabbing, bulky accessory. If you don’t want to compromise on comfort or sacrifice style, the OrtliebDaypacks are your solution. The brand has been around since 1982 and is universally loved for its minimalist and functional yet unconventional aesthetic. If you cycle a lot, you’re probably already familiar with Ortlieb. But the range not only includes bike bags and outdoor luggage, but backpacks suitable for everyday use. The Ortlieb Daypacks make perfect (and useful) companions that adapt to your needs, not the other way around. They have plenty of room to pack an outfit for after-work activities between your laptop and lunchbox. Not to mention the eternal search for small items is a thing of the past thanks to the various compartments. Unexpected rain? No problem thanks to the lightweight, durable yet waterproof nylon fabric. In addition to waterproofness, the focus is sustainable production. Ortlieb products are durable and also repairable in the rare instance something does break — product repairability has always been part of the Ortlieb DNA. Even after years of intensive use, the team can almost always make their bags functional again. So, whether you’re cycling across Berlin, going on a spontaneous hike, or simply running your daily errands, the Daypacks fit everything you need so that you’ll be perfectly equipped for the day’s challenges — whatever the weather. All that’s missing now is your next inner-city adventure.
