Because you can always make good things better, the existing products of the bikepacking line have been completely revised and the experience Ortlieb has gained over the recent years has been incorporated. Because of this upgrade epiphany, ORTLIEB's Saddle-Bag now has twice the features of the original bag.
This lightweight bike saddle bag is constructed from polyurethane-coated, durable nylon fabric. Since the material could actually stand up to a good ride, ORTLIEB knew it couldn't go to waste. Since every bike is different and unique, the Saddle-Bag comes in two different sizes. The 1.6 liter is perfect for those last-minute essentials like an extra snack or rain jacket to keep you comfortable on your latest adventure. The 4.1 liter is ready for the more pre-planned packing, like a tool kit plus a sleeping pad when spending the night under the stars.
No need to wait for the perfect weather conditions, both sizes of ORTLIEB's Saddle-Bag Two have a waterproofness rating of IP64. This means the bag can withstand water spray from any direction as well as protection from dust. That means your essentials won't be ruined after a long ride, no matter how extreme the trail.

I have both the 4.1L and the 1.6L sizes. There isn't much point to the 1.6L since the 4.1L can fold down to almost the same size.
The 4.1L can hold all the tubes and layers for a multi-day ride/brevet.
The sturdy seat rail clamp stops any swaying of the bag.
The clamp doesn't work well with some seats/seat-rails, especially if the seat is pushed all the way forward on the seatpost. It works fine on my Pro Stealth seat.
Ortlieb knows how to make bags. This is roomy. I'm only using half the space. In summer I can add a light rain/wind jacket. I have a small coffee shop lock , pump, multi tool. Sealant and tubeless tools. Room for a couple of bars and gel's. It fits behind my legs when I ride for very little drag. All straps and buckles work perfectly. It's waterproof. It looks good.
This bag was bought to replace a frame bag.
The bag is easy to install.
Right now it holds two tubes, a mini morph pump and some other tools. It still has adequate space to hold a great deal more for a day trip.
My Lezyne light clips on to the back and is highly visible.
The bag is waterproof, made extremely well and acts as a half fender for the rain.
It is a purchase you will not regret.
I store a spare inner tube and tire changing equipment including a compact pump in the bag and I could fit more stuff in there if needed. My only gripe is the means of attaching a rear blinking light. It's a little tricky but I made it work.
Better than all the rest, regardless of price but cheaper too! This is a review of the largest version which is slightly over 4L. Very light, easily to load, watertight. Most critically, it is very adjustable to the load, always positioning the light mount perpendicular. I mount my radar unit there, and it secure and easy to position. This thing is great for carrying extra clothing in winter.
Very happy with the quality of the seat bag. I purchased the 4.1L bag which is large enough to carry a pump, tube, repair kit, water bottle, and additional snacks. Would be nice to have a pressure release valve but I have been able to vent the air manually with no issues.
Seat bag attaches securely to the rails on your seat. Best to remove seat and post from frame for easiest attachment. Bag is the right size for carrying emergency tools, spare tube, possibly a thin jacket. I attached a Lezyne Alert Drive light to the rear of the bag for best visibility.
I've purchased several of these seat bags. They tuck under the seat. They adjust for the distance between the seat post and the attachment point. They are well designed, lightweight and waterproof. Reasonably priced.
