The Duffle is rated IP67: dust-tight, and sealed against immersion in a metre of water for half an hour. Drop it off a boat and your clothes stay dry. That is a different category of promise, and it is why this bag turns up as often on rafting trips as in airport queues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes it liveable rather than merely watertight is the opening. A full-length TIZIP drysuit zip runs along the top, so the bag opens flat and you can see everything at once, instead of excavating a roll-top from the neck down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBag, or backpack\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe padded handles detach and become shoulder straps. Carried on the back, the zip sits between you and the bag, which puts the opening somewhere a stranger in a crowd cannot reach. Joined together, the same straps make a single central handle for lifting it into a car boot or an overhead rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to outlast the trip\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is PD620, a PVC-coated polyester Ortlieb has used for decades. The base is PS620C, a reinforced Cordura that takes the abrasion of being dragged across gravel, station floors and boat decks. A wire loop at the zip pull lets you fit a padlock, which is not included but which we sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo zipped interior pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne exterior mesh pocket with zip — outside the sealed volume, not waterproof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo daisy chains along the top for lashing extra gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume marked on the side of the bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe-clean interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWaterproofing, precisely\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIP67 means dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion, up to one metre for thirty minutes. The rating depends entirely on the TIZIP being closed all the way to the end stop — a zip left a centimetre short is simply an open bag. The zip needs its lubricant occasionally; Ortlieb sells the stick and so do we.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume: 40 litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 22 × 53 × 31 cm (H × W × D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 986 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: PD620 PVC-coated polyester, with a PS620C reinforced Cordura base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: full-length waterproof TIZIP zip, with wire loop for a padlock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproofing: IP67, dust-tight and immersion-proof to 1 m for 30 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadded removable shoulder straps, also usable as handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours: black, olive, sunny yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of manufacture: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 5 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it pass as cabin luggage?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 53 × 31 × 22 cm it is within the cabin allowance of many airlines, but not all, and the limits change. Check your carrier before you fly. The 60 and 85 litre versions are hold bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 40 L have the internal compression strap?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Ortlieb fits the internal compression strap to the 60 and 85 litre versions only. If you want to cinch a half-empty bag down, that is a reason to look at the 60 L.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does IP67 actually mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDust-tight, and protected against immersion in one metre of water for thirty minutes. It is a genuinely higher rating than the IP64 on our roll-top bags, which covers splashing only. It is not a rating for prolonged submersion or for diving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the outer pocket waterproof?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The mesh pocket sits outside the sealed volume. Keep documents and electronics in the main compartment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be repaired?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Ortlieb supplies replacement straps, buckles and TIZIP lubricant, and the bag carries a five-year warranty. Our workshop at L'Hirondelle Bike Shop in Meppel handles repairs and can order parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich size should I pick?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e40 L is a week for one person or cabin-sized travel. 60 L suits two people for a weekend or one on a long trip. 85 L is expedition territory. All three exist on wheels as the Duffle RG if you would rather pull than carry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ortlieb","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":51964325593429,"sku":"K1471","price":144.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive","offer_id":51964325626197,"sku":"K1475","price":144.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sunny Yellow","offer_id":51964325658965,"sku":"K1473","price":144.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/9387\/9893\/files\/unnamed_840c7a91-713c-42ad-bf06-27806b9f812a.jpg?v=1789394145","url":"https:\/\/hirondellebikeshop.com\/products\/ortlieb-duffle-40l-waterproof-travel-bag","provider":"Hirondelle Bike Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
