Product details

It offers plenty of space and is equipped with a padded back section, ergonomically shaped shoulder straps and a chest strap. It can also be quickly and easily converted into a pannier for the pannier rack: The shoulder straps can be stowed in a net on the back of the rucksack and secured with a front cover. This is equipped with a compartment with a waterproof zip and can be completely removed for cleaning. Thanks to the tried-and-tested QMR 2.0 system, the 2in1 backpack bike bag can be securely attached to luggage carriers with round tubes between 8 and 16 mm in diameter and quickly detached by pulling the connecting strap between the two hooks. The QMR hooks can be secured with a small lock (e.g. TSA lock, not included). The bag offers extensive storage space with an intelligently designed interior, including a padded laptop compartment for devices up to 13.3 inches, additional compartments for smartphones, pens and more. Depending on the load, the 2in1 backpack bike bag can be compressed laterally in three stages.

Spiegel TestsHybridtaschen im TestReleaseJune 2025

Vaude calls its bags ReCycle, which, according to the manufacturer, are made from polyester yarn obtained from recycled PET bottles. This process is said to conserve resources and is not a disadvantage from my point of view: the material looks high-quality and is waterproof. However, the textured surface is not as easy to clean as smooth surfaces...

Bag made from recycled materials that can be converted quickly and easily thanks to a reversible flap. The carrying comfort on the back is unrivalled and the tool-free attachment to the bike is absolutely solid. The interior is kept rather simple.

  • PositiveThe bag is waterproof and can be converted quickly. There is a good organiser inside.
  • NegativeI find the roll-top fastener takes a bit of getting used to. There is only one pocket on the outside, which is only accessible when using the rucksack.

Ortlieb offers the best overall package of flexibility, comfort and robustness with the Vario. It has everything you need for both purposes. And with the best workmanship. However, I think beautiful is different. An alternative is the differently designed but almost functionally identical Transformer from Vaude...
