Ortlieb Velocity Design waterproof city backpack

Ortlieb Velocity Design: the courier backpack as a canvas

The Velocity Design series takes one of Ortlieb’s most capable city backpacks and gives it a new face each season. Six distinct collaborations and original artworks — each applied to the same PU-coated nylon body, the same roll closure with quick-access flap, and the same proven urban carrying system — with no compromise to the functional specification beneath the surface.

Six designs, one platform

Forest 23L (Petrol) brings a layered botanical composition in deep teal. Line Art, Morning Routine, Peeling Paint and Portland Heights are graphic interpretations of city life, movement and texture in White/Black. Rider Resilience 23L celebrates the endurance mindset with an illustrated White/Black composition drawn from the cycling world.

Built for the daily ride

Every Velocity Design shares the full specification of the standard Velocity: IP64 waterproofing, padded laptop/tablet compartment, internal organiser with multiple pockets, ventilated foam back panel with ergonomic shoulder straps, detachable chest strap, U-lock holder and rear light loop. A carrying handle and reflective yarn complete the commuter package.
