Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the ORTLIEB Rack-Pack. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

5 reasons to buy

A tester says the Rack-Pack is in great shape after 1,800 miles, and an owner praises the durability after “years of hard use”.
This bag is waterproof.
The Rack-Pack comes in five colors. An owner and tester appreciate the “attention-grabbing” yellow bag.
The Rack-Pack Free is coated in polyurethane instead of PVC, which is more wear-resistant, more flexible, and less toxic than the latter.
A shoulder strap and built-in external handles make it easy to transport the bag when not in use.

4 reasons not to buy

One tester finds the bag swings in transit and recommends securing it with additional straps. Another deems it unsuitable for carrying fragile cargo.
The Rack-Pack cannot be used as a standalone bag on a pannier rack; it must be connected to other ORTLIEB bags.
This bag attaches on top of pannier bags, making it more time-consuming to access their contents, according to a reviewer.
Two testers find mounting the Rack-Pack unintuitive.

Bottom line

The ORTLIEB Rack-Pack is a waterproof roll-top bag available in two sizes: 24L or 31L. The larger version is also available with a polyurethane coating (PVC-free) for enhanced flexibility and wear resistance. This bag only mounts to compatible ORTELIB pannier bags, not directly to pannier racks. Testers and owners praise the construction quality, spacious design, and versatile carrying straps. However, the mounting location complicates pannier access. Two testers suggest using additional straps to prevent the bag from shaking, but others find it stable. Overall, experts deem the spacious ORTLIEB Rack-Pack a quality bag.
