Ortlieb seat pack medium review. All models are made using a pu coated nylon fabric that is lightweight waterproof pvc free no petroleum used and rather abrasion resistant. So far respect to ortlieb for their seat pack. The viscacha is about 150gms heavier. It s made from pu coated nylon and cordura which makes it effectively waterproof.

I think i ll unlock its full potential in even harder and longer races. Ortlieb seat pack 11l review 102 jpg by jon woodhouse ortlieb does make a higher capacity and 16l version for those that are going further or just pack heavy with a key difference being that it extends a bit further down your seatpost with a second strap. Ortlieb claim a weight of 325gms which is borne out by my kitchen scales 330gms including a bit of dirt from use. Ortlieb s seat pack ticked all these boxes a little bit more.
My bike was too small for the large pack not enough vertical clearance between seat and tire. The ortlieb saddle bag i reviewed is a medium sized saddle bag big enough for multi tool spare tube and emergency layer as well as maybe a few gels or a phone. Ortlieb s seat pack shares the same fully waterproof construction as its handlebar roll a combination of polyurethane ripstop nylon joined with ortlieb s top secret radio frequency welding.

The welded construction means that the ortlieb doesn t have large internal seams which along with the fabrics slick finish helps you cram your gear in a bit easier.
