Great factory tour. Ortlieb are one of those rare companies who truly understand their customers. I've been using the 'urban' commuter bag for 5 years and can vouch for its waterproofing. They're also good for their 5-year warranty as my first bag developed a split between welds at 4years 10months and after going through the correct process I'm now the proud owner of a new replacement so I can keep on riding to work. 10/10.

I switched to Ortlieb because other known German brand failed on me really bad, opened seams because bad welding, I was in the middle o a long tour in Central America and headed to South America with sewed panniers, no longer waterproof! The warranty team sent me new panniers to Norway when I was in Colombia 😢 You buy something expecting to perform and last not to deal with warranty, because when you’re on the road and moving it’s not easy to deal with this issues, I was expecting to hear something about the no use of PVC for environmental reasons because I heard that that’s one of the reasons why many travelers are having problems with open seams, the alternative products should be as good or better than the used before. I also switched from standard touring panniers to a bickpacking set up, I went on a Ortlieb spree shopping, 15L QR saddle bag, full frame bag, 5.8 fork bags plus, QR Handle bar bag, 15L Handlebar bag with the accessory bag, the Gravel Bikepacking small panniers. I can’t wait to go and test the Ortlieb products, really exited for my next adventure Norway/Finland/Sweden/Norway, too cold now, thank you for the tour and cheers guys!

G'Day Tristan and Belen. You two always produce such high quality videos that are so incredibly informative and relaxing to watch. Unfortunately I lost track of your channel but all's OK now and I've just been enjoying those video's I'd missed. You know if you ever come over Cambodia way please drop me a note cuz your always welcome to stay and do any bike repairs or maintenance I've got a pretty good range of tools and I can show you around.

Great video. I have a question: when will Ortlieb start to make larger panniers for long and mid tail cargo bikes? I know there's a market for them.

From Denmark: Great informative video. I am 79 years old and travel 5 months of the year by bike and Trailer for my gear. I have 8 Ortlieb bags Backloaders-frontloaders-Handlebar bags-one 49 Litres rack bag. All red/black. In 2022 I changed from my 2 Wheeler Koga bike to an ICE Sprint FS Trike + Trailer. It is a pity that Ortlieb does not produce a banana shaped pod (like the ICE one), I could use hanging on each side of the seat. 12,5 litre capacity each would be OK. Is it possible to have such a pod custom made? 🙏🙏🙏

Hi Daniel. I will pay what it cost and you get on top a free one week vacation in my fully equipped apartment in Ebeltoft, Denmark, summer 2023. How about that?
