5-Year Warranty

ORTLIEB-Warranty

The ORTLIEB warranty, limited to five years, is a voluntary warranty provided by the manufacturer. It grants additional rights independent of the rights granted by consumer protection laws. Should a product be replaced within the warranty period, the date of first delivery continues to apply to the five-year warranty period.

This worldwide, free of charge warranty of five years from delivery refers to material defects and processing errors. Scuff marks, holes and cracks caused by the customer's own fault are not covered by the warranty. Claims for defects due to normal wear and tear, improper use, non-observance of the assembly instructions, third-party intervention as well as due to improper storage are excluded. No warranty is given for damage due to improper care and improper use. As a rule, however, such damage can be repaired at cost price.

Consumer Protection Law

Important: The provisions of the ORTLIEB warranty, which is limited to five years, do not apply to claims arising from statutory consumer protection rights. These statutory rights are not limited by the warranty. Thus, the benefits under the five-year limited ORTLIEB warranty are intended to supplement and not replace the rights granted by consumer protection laws.

If a product is defective, consumers may in particular claim the rights under §§ 434 et seq., §§ 474 et seq. of the German BGB (German Civil Code). Consumers can choose whether to claim performance under the ORTLIEB warranty, which is limited to five years, or under their statutory consumer protection rights.

The first point of contact for warranty claims is always the specialist or online dealer with whom the purchase contract for the product was concluded. This warranty is subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Elegant and minimal design combined with the DNA of outdoor equipment makes the Metrosphere Line your robust companion when traveling for business and leisure alike. The Metrosphere duffle is made of textured nylon fabric that not only stands out because of its looks, it is also completely waterproof and dustproof. On the go, the bag can be carried duffle- or backpack-style thanks to various carrying straps and ergonomic shoulder straps. There’s also a designated pocket for a personalized address card, should you ever be separated from your bag. In addition, the TIZIP zipper can be secured with two practical magnets and locked with a TSA lock (not included). Whether you’re headed out to fashion week, your next business pitch or a trip to the mountains, the Duffle Metrosphere is ready to accompany you on any adventure. The entire Metrosphere Line is, of course, sustainably manufactured in Germany.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Rack-Pack and the Duffle?

The Rack-Pack is a versatile all-purpose bag with up to 31 liters of volume and, like the Duffle RC, features a roll closure. It gets its name from the ability to combine it directly on the luggage rack with ORTLIEB Back-Rollers or Sport-Rollers. Duffles, on the other hand, are larger travel bags with padded shoulder straps that can also be comfortably worn as a backpack.

Where is the Duffle Metrosphere manufactured?

The Duffle Metrosphere 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. Our high standards for raw materials extend the product’s lifespan and conserve resources.

More on durability and repair.

How robust is the Duffle Metrosphere?

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.

How do I pack my travel bag as efficiently as possible?

Pack heavy items at the bottom and lighter ones on top. To avoid wrinkles in your clothes, you can simply roll them to save space or use small organizers like Packing Cubes. These help you structure the large main compartment even better and compress folded clothing.

How much volume should my travel bag have?

That depends on how long you are traveling and how much you want to take with you. Here is a quick orientation:

30 L: Ideal for weekend trips or short business travel. Typical carry-on size for flights.
40 L: Suitable for 3-4 day trips. Fits roughly as much as a full laundry basket.
60 L: Perfect for one-week trips or sports gear. Comparable in space to a standard moving box.
80 L: Holds about the same as two full laundry baskets. Suitable for one to two weeks of travel or trips with varying climates.
110 L: Designed for multi-week trips, expeditions, or extensive outdoor equipment. Offers space for tent, sleeping bag, and clothing.
