Ortlieb Ultimate Plus 5 litre waterproof easy access handlebar bag with touch screen lid for everyday use and bike touring.
Ortlieb says:
The waterproof Ultimate Plus handlebar bag is the perfect place to stow your things while keeping them at the ready whenever you need them. Depending on the model, this durable handlebar bag made of waterproof Cordura fabric has a payload of 5.7 or 8.5 liters, offering you the space you need for items you need to be able to access quickly. The smallest of the Ultimate Six Plus models distinguishes itself in terms of its transparent, user-friendly and rainproof flap compartment with a 21 x 12-cm interior that enables to secure your smartphone, GPS device and roadmap. You can naturally operate your touchscreen device through the transparent cover. The two larger models enable the use of different inserts in case you want to stow any special gear such as your high-performance camera while you’re underway.
What all three models have in common is convenience. You can open the flap with a single hand, thanks to its magnetic closure, and closing it again is virtually automatic. The detachable shoulder strap transforms your handlebar bag into a convenient shoulder bag as soon as you reach your destination.
Our Verdict
Ortlieb Ultimate Plus 5 litre handlebar bag is waterproof and durable. This is the smaller of the 2 Ultimate Six handlebar packs. The hinged lid with 2 magnetic closures makes accessing its contents easy whilst on the move. This smaller pack also benefits from the clear touch screen top panel which is easily accessible by a Velcro flap on the inside of the lid. The internal zipped pocket helps store smaller items safely. This pack attaches to any of the Ortlieb mounting sets and is easily removed. The clip on/clip off shoulder strap transfers the bag into a shoulder bag. The inside of the pack is smooth plastic and loose items can rattle around, by adding a small piece of clothing/fabric helps to remove the chatter!
