Ortlieb Light-Pack Two — 330 Grams of Pure Freedom

The Ortlieb Light-Pack Two is the lightest backpack in the entire Ortlieb catalogue — and one of the most considered. At just 330 grams with a full 25-litre capacity, it distils the brand's waterproofing heritage into a daypack built for those who move light. Whether clipped to a climbing harness, stowed inside a duffel on the way to a summit or folded into a jacket pocket during a paddling trip, the Light-Pack Two is the pack that disappears until you need it — then holds everything that matters.

Packing down into its own included 20 cm mesh bag, it travels as an effortless companion on any journey where a second bag would otherwise be a burden. Unroll it at the trailhead, clip the chest strap and the hip belt, and it becomes a fully functional waterproof daypack that keeps up with whatever the day demands.

Waterproofing and Construction

Built from PU-coated PS21 nylon with a seamless roll-top closure, the Light-Pack Two achieves an IP64 waterproof rating — completely dustproof and protected against water jets from all directions. The lightweight single-layer fabric keeps weight at an absolute minimum without compromising protection; this is the same fundamental waterproofing technology found across the Ortlieb range, scaled down to its essentials.

Carry System and Organisation

The air-permeable padded shoulder straps are removable for those who want to travel even lighter. The chest strap and hip belt are equally detachable — configure the pack precisely to the needs of the day. An elastic front bungee cord secures a jacket, a helmet or any gear that needs to stay accessible on the outside. Two side pockets accommodate a water bottle, sunglasses or snacks without having to open the main compartment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How small does the Light-Pack Two pack down?

The Light-Pack Two packs into its own included mesh bag measuring approximately 20 cm across — compact enough to fit into a jacket pocket, a duffel or a climbing pack without taking up meaningful space. It is specifically designed as a summit pack, a travel companion or an emergency daypack that you carry just in case.

Is the Light-Pack Two truly waterproof at IP64?

Yes. IP64 means the pack is completely dustproof and protected against water jets from all directions. The PU-coated PS21 nylon and the roll-top closure seal the main compartment entirely. There are no zips on the main compartment — the only openings are the two side pockets and the roll-top entry, which is the waterproof seal.

Can the shoulder straps and hip belt be removed?

Yes — both the shoulder straps and the hip belt are fully removable. This allows the pack to be configured as a minimalist roll-top dry bag when the carrying system is unnecessary, further reducing bulk when packed. The chest strap is also detachable.

What activities is the Light-Pack Two designed for?

Ortlieb positions the Light-Pack Two for paddle sports, mountain summits and any adventure where keeping pack weight minimal is a priority. Its waterproof construction makes it suitable for kayaking, rafting and sea touring as a day bag, as well as for hiking, trail running and travel as a packable backup pack.

Is the Ortlieb Light-Pack Two repairable?

Yes. All Ortlieb products are manufactured in Germany to exacting repairability standards. The welded seams and roll-top closure have no stitched points of failure, and replacement parts are available through Ortlieb or your local dealer. L'Hirondelle Bike Shop in Meppel can advise on repairs and spare part availability.
