ORTLIEB Manufacturer's Warranty for End Customers – 5 Years

This voluntary manufacturer's warranty ("Warranty") grants additional rights and does not affect the statutory warranty rights against the seller. The exercise of statutory rights is free of charge and independent of this Warranty.

Warrantor is ORTLIEB Sportartikel GmbH, Rainstraße 6, 91560 Heilsbronn, Germany ("ORTLIEB"), email: customerservice@ortlieb.de.

1. Subject matter and scope of the Warranty

ORTLIEB warrants that the product is free from material and workmanship defects under normal use. The Warranty applies worldwide to ORTLIEB products purchased from authorized retailers or online dealers or directly from the ORTLIEB web shop. It is limited to the first purchaser and is not transferable.

2. Warranty period

The warranty period is 5 years from the date of first purchase from a retailer or online dealer or directly from ORTLIEB by the end customer. The end customer is the customer who first purchased the ORTLIEB product for their own use — not for resale — from a retailer or online dealer or directly from the ORTLIEB web shop. The invoice or delivery date of the first purchase is decisive. Proof is provided exclusively by the purchase receipt or invoice. A repair or replacement does not extend or renew the warranty period; the date of the first delivery remains decisive.

3. Scope of warranty performance

In the event of a warranty claim, ORTLIEB will, free of charge:

repair the product itself; or
replace the product with an equivalent product if repair is impossible or uneconomical.

No further claims arise from this Warranty. Statutory claims remain unaffected.

4. Exclusions

The Warranty does not cover in particular:

normal wear and age-related changes (e.g., wear of surfaces, zippers, buckles),
damage resulting from improper use, overloading, or failure to observe assembly/care instructions,
damage due to third-party interventions, modifications, or the use of non-approved spare parts/accessories,
damage due to improper transport, storage, cleaning, or care,
chafing marks, holes, and tears caused by the user's own fault.

These exclusions apply exclusively to this Warranty. Statutory rights for defects remain unaffected.

5. Making a warranty claim

The first point of contact in warranty cases is generally the retailer or online dealer with whom the purchase contract was concluded. A direct claim to ORTLIEB is possible at any time and is not dependent on prior involvement of the dealer. To make a claim, please provide:

a brief description of the defect and, if possible, meaningful photos,
the product designation (and any identification/serial information),
a copy of the proof of purchase (invoice/delivery note showing the date of first delivery),
your sender/contact details for queries and return shipment.

ORTLIEB will confirm receipt and inform you about the further process. Processing will take place within a reasonable period after receipt of the complete documents. Contact for warranty processing: customerservice@ortlieb.de

6. Transport and shipping costs

Within the European Union, ORTLIEB bears the reasonable outbound and return shipping costs of the warranty processing. Outside the EU, ORTLIEB will assume the costs upon prior written approval. Please contact us before dispatch and await the return instructions. Unapproved chargeable express or special services will not be reimbursed.

7. Applicable law

This Warranty is governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence remain unaffected.

Care and usage instructions

After use, completely empty the bag, leave it open, and allow it to dry thoroughly. If necessary, clean it with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap. Mechanical or chemical cleaning is not required.
Do not use solvents or aggressive cleaning agents
Wipe clean with a damp cloth or clean with warm water and a mild soap solution. Remove heavier soiling carefully using a soft brush and gall soap.
Allow the bag to dry completely before storage.
To achieve protection class IP64 (6 = dust-tight, 4 = protected against water splashes from all directions), the closure must be rolled down 3–4 times and secured downward.
Keep free of coarse dirt.
Not suitable for storing or transporting food or drinking water.
Do not store the bag rolled up or folded, as this may cause the coating to crack.
Store protected from UV radiation to prevent the material from fading.
Reproofing is not necessary. The fabrics have a waterproof coating and therefore do not require any additional chemical treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Dry-Bags be used for bikepacking?

ORTLIEB Dry-Bags are an ideal addition to existing bikepacking setups. They help organize your gear inside the bags and keep equipment reliably dry. However, if you want to replace complete bags, the ORTLIEB Dry-Pack is the better choice. It features daisy chains and can be mounted directly to the bike.

To the Dry-Pack

How do the different Dry-Bag models differ?

All ORTLIEB Dry-Bags are waterproof, robust, and equipped with the proven roll closure, but they differ in material thickness, weight, and features.
Dry-Bag: The versatile all-rounder for camping, boating, or everyday outdoor use. It offers a balanced ratio between stability and weight.
Dry-Bag Light: Made from particularly lightweight material, ideal for tours where every gram counts—such as trekking, bikepacking, or as an inner bag in a backpack.
Dry-Bag Light with valve: Equipped with an additional compression valve that allows excess air to be easily released—ideal for storing clothing or sleeping bags.
Dry-Bag Heavy Duty: Designed for maximum durability. The abrasion-resistant material and reinforced base make it the ideal companion for expeditions, watersports, and all demanding conditions.

Which Dry-Bag is best for extreme conditions?

For intensive use, such as expeditions, white-water paddling or rough terrain, the ORTLIEB Dry-Bag Heavy Duty is the best choice. It is made of particularly robust, abrasion-resistant material and features a reinforced base. This allows it to withstand even the toughest conditions.

Which ORTLIEB Dry-Bag size is best suited for which purpose?

1 to 7 liters: Ideal for small gear such as phone, wallet, first-aid kit, or spare clothing. Perfect for day trips, kayaking, or as an additional inner bag in a backpack.
7 to 12 liters: Offers enough space for a full set of clothing or light gear. Well suited for short hikes, bike tours, or as a dry bag in a boat.
12 to 22 liters: The all-round size, with space for clothing, a sleeping bag, or food. Ideal for multi-day tours with a tent or for bikepacking.
35 to 60 liters: Large enough for full camping or outdoor equipment including tent and sleeping bag. Optimal for longer tours or as the main pack bag.
80 to 110 liters: For expeditions, white-water trips, or extensive gear transport. Plenty of room for everything you need on big adventures.

Where is the Dry-Bag Heavy Duty manufactured?

The Dry-Bag Heavy Duty is manufactured in Heilsbronn, Germany, standing for genuine “Made in Germany” quality. Every production step, from material cutting to final inspection, takes place in our own facilities. Materials are sourced locally, regionally, or internationally according to strict requirements.

How robust is the Dry-Bag Heavy Duty?

ORTLIEB products are extremely robust because we use high-quality materials and permanently weld all seams. This eliminates the need for stitching or bonding, and all connections are at least as strong as the material itself. If something does get damaged, holes can be safely rewelded by us or by our authorized service partners.
