Backpack or pannier? With the versatile and innovative Vario, you no longer have to ask yourself this question. Featuring our Quick-Lock attachment systems on one side and a padded carrying system with chest strap and ergonomic shoulder straps on the other, The Vario transforms from backpack to pannier faster than ever before. A so-called Flap with an integrated pocket covers the side that is not in use. And for any items that you need quick access to, there is a zippered outer pocket. Everything else can be accessed via the practical and proven roll closure, including your laptop for which a padded compartment is provided. This waterproof hybrid bag is PVC-free and sustainably manufactured in Germany.
Bags with the Quick-Lock3.1 mounting system include a mounting set that allows you to use the bag on standard luggage racks without the integrated QL3.1 mounting elements. The mounting set weighs only 140 g and attaches securely to the rack. If your luggage rack already has an integrated QL3.1 mount, such as our Quick-Rack, you do not need the mounting set.

Contents: Waterproof backpack-pannier hybrid with QL3.1 mounting

Attention: Maximum load per pannier is 9kg / 20 lbs. We recommend weighing each loaded pannier to confirm that the maximum allowance of the pannier fixation is not exceeded. This practice is advised for both rear and front panniers. CAUTION: The maximum weight capacity of every carrier model is different. Please observe the maximum weight allowance of the carrier fitted to your bicycle. Note: Sometimes the maximum capacity of the panniers fixing system can exceed the maximum capacity of the carrier. DO NOT exceed the maximum capacity of the carrier! Note, that the use of panniers will significantly influence the handling properties of your bicycle.
Attention: As abrasion cannot be ruled out, we recommend that all points where the mounting system contacts the bicycle rack or frame be protected by scratch protection film.
Note: In order to meet standard IP64 (6=dustproof, 4=protected against splash water coming from all directions) the roll closure must be rolled at least 3-4 times.
