Ortlieb says
Planning a weekend trip, an active vacation or an overseas journey? Looking for a maximally durable and waterproof travel bag that offers additional comfort? If yes, you should definitely consider the ORTLIEB Duffle RG. In contrast to the Duffle RS, which was conceived for expedition-level use, the Duffle RG is outfitted with an aluminum wheel frame that makes it especially easy to tow. Indeed, the bag’s large wheels, telescope aluminum handle and impactproof underside give it excellent off-road handling.
Free standing when full or empty, the ORTLIEB Duffle RG can be moved in three different ways. It can be wheeled using the telescope handle, carried with one hand or worn as a backpack. The waterproof polyester fabric and the 10-mm waterproof TIZIP Masterseal zipper ensure that the bag’s contents remain optimally protected in all conditions.
