Ortlieb Seat-Pack QR 13L

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Ortlieb’s Seat Pack QR is a waterproof 13 Litre rear pack that clips to the rails of the saddle and straps around the seat post.

Ortlieb says: 

Thanks to the unique Seat-Lock attachment system, the Seat-Pack QR is quickly and securely mounted and just as speedily removed, completely residue-free. An adapter even enables the use of a dropper post, making the innovative Seat-Pack QR suitable for a variety of bikes.

Our Verdict

Ortlieb’s Seat Pack QR is a waterproof 13 Litre rear pack.  Adjustable clips secure the pack to the rails of the saddle and a broad rubber/velcro strap wraps around the seat post, both of which make the pack solid for going over rough ground. The base of the pack has a sturdy baseplate that protects the base of the pack from dirt and abrasion and add rigidity to the pack. The wide opening makes the pack easy to fill and the roll-down closure clips to itself. Side tensioners and a long orange rear strap hold the pack tight for efficient use.
