Ortlieb Commuter-Daypack Urban 21L city backpack

Ortlieb Commuter-Daypack Urban 21L: the city backpack for individualists

Neither a conventional backpack nor a typical office bag — the Commuter-Daypack Urban occupies a space all of its own. Its PU-laminated Cordura blend has the soft, textured hand of a woven fabric while remaining fully waterproof to IP64: dust-tight and protected against splashing water from all directions. It handles the commute without looking like it does.

Engineered for the daily ride

A roll closure with integrated hook gives fast, single-hand access to the main compartment and doubles as the secure seal that keeps rain out. The removable padded organiser holds a laptop or tablet up to 39 × 27 × 2.5 cm, keeping your devices separated from keys and cables. The front zip pocket adds quick-access storage, though it is not waterproof by design — a deliberate choice that keeps the profile slim.

Comfort from saddle to desk

A ventilated TPU back pad sits softly against the spine and channels airflow to prevent overheating on longer rides. Removable chest and waist straps stabilise the load at speed. A loop on the shoulder strap accepts a rear light or U-lock without clutter, and reflective yarn woven into the shoulder straps improves visibility after dark. The reinforced base protects the bag on rough surfaces.
