Product news: Ortlieb: The most important innovations for 2020

June 26, 2019 by the editorial office

Product news: For years, Ortlieb has stood for products that are sustainably manufactured in Germany. The focus is not only on the best workmanship, but all products are also waterproof. Now the bag specialist is expanding its portfolio to include the ever-growing e-mobility and we are even more universal. Design, innovation and integration are always in the foreground.

Ortlieb 2020: E-Glow

Waterproof handlebar bag for e-bikes

E-Glow, the waterproof handlebar bag for e-bikes, is the perfect addition to the E-Mate rear pannier in the same design. Typical of Ortlieb handlebar bags are the large reflector and the magnetic bag lid with a waterproof lid compartment. Mobile phone or GPS stay safe and dry in the seven liter bag, the touchscreen can be operated through the transparent lid compartment, which is inclined towards the driver. The handlebar bag offers additional safety thanks to an integrated, detachable LED strip that increases visibility to the front and to the side, while also illuminating the inside of the bag. Power can be supplied either via the USB output available on most e-bike displays or via a power bank. Of course, the use of the LED light strip conforms to the Road Traffic Act (StVZO).

Waterproof Active Traveling backpack especially for women

The product family is now experiencing a logical expansion with the Atrack ST. The "Short Torso" is specially tailored to the needs of women.

Despite the "only" 25 or 34 liters volume, the Atrack ST offers stepless back length adjustment. Thus, the comfortable seat is easily possible even for travelers with a shorter upper body. In combination with the breathable back support surfaces and the padded hip belt with integrated pockets, the adjustable back length ensures the ideal load distribution of the luggage. The Atrack ST is unique due to the position of the Tizip zipper and the associated opening principle. The inside of the bag can be easily accessed via the wide opening.
