Product Information
Full details
The Ortlieb Gravel Pack QL2.2 is designed for cyclists undertaking multiday tours and self-supported races who need to carry extra gear without compromising bike handling. Its key benefit is providing a substantial 29 liters of waterproof storage while maintaining a low center of gravity for off-road agility. A potential caveat is its streamlined design, which means fewer internal organization options. Key features include durable, abrasion-resistant material, fully waterproof construction with a roll closure, and the secure Quick-Lock mounting system.

FAQs
What is the total capacity of the Ortlieb Gravel Pack?
The Ortlieb Gravel Pack QL2.2 offers a combined capacity of 29 liters for the pair of panniers.
Is this bag suitable for commuting?
While durable and waterproof, its design is optimized for touring and bikepacking. For daily commuting, simpler or smaller panniers might be more convenient, but it will certainly keep your items dry.
How do I clean the panniers?
Clean the panniers using a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow them to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Can I use these on a standard rear rack?
The Gravel Pack is designed for lowrider racks. While it might fit on some rear racks depending on their design and your desired weight distribution, it's optimized for front rack use to maintain a low center of gravity.
What makes the QL2.2 system secure?
The Quick-Lock 2.2 system features self-closing hooks that automatically lock onto the rack rail, along with an anti-rattle element to prevent movement and noise during rides over uneven terrain.
Are the bags sold as a pair?
Yes, the Ortlieb Gravel Pack QL2.2 is sold as a duo, meaning you receive two panniers (one for each side).
What material are the bags made from?
The bags are constructed from a lightweight, wear-resistant nylon material that is also highly durable and waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Pannier rattles or moves during ride
Ensure the Quick-Lock hooks are properly adjusted to the rack diameter. Use the provided adapters for a snug fit. Make sure the anti-rattle hook or stabilizing element is engaged correctly.
Water seeping into the pannier
Verify that the roll closure is properly sealed by rolling it down at least 3-4 times before fastening. Check for any damage to the bag's material or seams.
QL2.2 hooks are difficult to attach/detach
Check for debris or obstructions in the hook mechanism. Ensure the correct adapter size is being used for your rack tubes. Lubricate the mechanism sparingly if necessary.
