About the original
The ORTLIEB Duffle is a waterproof travel bag made in Germany from PVC-coated nylon with high-frequency-welded seams and an IP67-rated waterproof zipper, carried as a backpack via stowable shoulder straps or by padded grab handles. ORTLIEB was founded in 1982 by Hartmut Ortlieb in Nuremberg after a rain-soaked bike tour through England. The company has built waterproof panniers, dry bags, and expedition carry for cyclists, paddlers, and travelers for over four decades. The Duffle comes in 40, 60, 85, and 110-liter sizes with compression straps and internal mesh pockets. The SS24 Supreme version adds co-branded Supreme and ORTLIEB graphics to the standard German-made construction in red, black, and yellow.
About ORTLIEB
Ortlieb Sportartikel is a German waterproof bag manufacturer founded on April 1, 1982, by Hartmut Ortlieb in Nuremberg, and headquartered in Heilsbronn since 1997. The founder, a cyclist frustrated by wet gear on tour, produced the first panniers by hand from truck tarpaulin. In 1984 Ortlieb introduced high-frequency seam welding, which fuses PVC-coated fabric into a waterproof bond without stitching, and the technique remains the company's signature construction. The line covers bicycle panniers, handlebar bags, dry bags, backpacks, and travel luggage, all manufactured in Germany. Supreme's collaboration with Ortlieb applies the box logo to its welded panniers and dry bags.
