Ortlieb GRAVEL-PACK 14.5L QL 2.2 Panniers

Designed for cyclists who venture onto gravel paths, mountain bike trails, or mixed-terrain roads, the Ortlieb Gravel-Pack 14.5L QL 2.2 panniers meet the demands of bikepacking and self-supported touring. Their IP64-certified waterproof roll-top closure and PVC-free, polyurethane-coated ripstop nylon construction make them a reliable choice against water splashes and dust. Unisex in design, they’re ideal for any rider looking for sturdy and versatile pannier storage.

Proven waterproofing for the Ortlieb Gravel-Pack 14.5L QL 2.2 panniers

Protection against the elements here relies on a simple, proven mechanical principle: the flap rolls over itself three to four times to form an airtight seal, achieving IP64 certification—meaning resistance to water splashes from all directions and dust. The PS21R and PS33 ripstop nylon fabric features a polyurethane coating that enhances this waterproofing without using PVC—a material choice that makes the pannier lighter and reduces its environmental impact. With a volume of 14.5 liters per bag and a maximum load capacity of 12.5 kg, the set offers ample storage for multi-day trips.

Quick attachment and broad compatibility with bike racks

The Quick-Lock 2.2 system allows for tool-free attachment and removal in just a few seconds. The hooks are adjustable to fit rack tubes with diameters ranging from 8 to 16 mm, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of gravel bikes, mountain bikes, and fat bikes, as well as front lowrider racks. The system remains backward compatible with the QL2 and QL2.1 generations, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into existing setups. The two-component lower rail, combining rigid and flexible sections, reduces wear on the rack over time.

A symmetrical design built for practicality on the trail

The symmetrical shape of the panniers eliminates any distinction between left and right sides: each pannier can be mounted on either side of the bike, simplifying how you organize your gear. The streamlined design, with no interior pockets or padded shoulder straps, prioritizes lightness and durability. The integrated 3M Scotchlite reflectors improve visibility in low-light conditions—a useful feature for early morning rides or when finishing a stage at dusk. Manufactured in Germany, these panniers weigh 640 g each and measure 37 cm high, 26 cm wide, and 12 cm deep.
