The Ortlieb Duffle RG 85 is a waterproof travel bag designed to carry up to 85 litres of gear on outdoor trips or longer journeys. It combines the straightforward packing ease of a duffle with the waterproof reliability you need when camping, hiking or moving between transport hubs.
Thanks to its 85-litre capacity and rectangular shape (82 x 29.5 x 40 cm), this duffle holds bulky items like sleeping bags, boots or extra layers without awkward folding. At 3.45 kg, it balances sturdiness with manageable weight, so you can lift it onto roof racks or stow it under seats without sacrificing durability. The fully waterproof build keeps your kit dry in rain or splashes, and the robust exterior stands up to rough handling on trail or tarmac.
Ortlieb’s PD620 and PS620C fabrics are high-density polyesters woven with 620-denier yarns and coated to block water. “Denier” refers to the thickness of individual fibers—higher numbers mean tougher threads—so 620 denier yields strong, abrasion-resistant material. The coating adds a waterproof barrier without making the bag overly stiff or heavy.
