Yeah G got me to look at Ortlieb singing their praises and I got a 110L dry duffel that is simply incredible. The robustness of the tarpaulin and seam sealing, excellent ergonomics, functionality, and the wheels just glide. It’s incredible. I’m nowhere near needing service on it but good to know it’s there if I ever need it.

I'm pretty sure they come with a lifetime guarantee. I bust the zip on one of mine, and the UK distributor swapped it for a new one with out any questions, despite me having bought it in Germany....

[Tago Mago]

@Giles that's German customer service and friendliness for you. We are world-beaters in that category

[Giles]

On a reverse scale, I would agree.....

[Giles]

And the follow up follow up:

No worries at all!

We’ve missed the postman today, but should be going out to you tomorrow.

Kind regards,

Jess

@Giles I thought that was one of the things Ze German were famous for, along with our sense of humour

[seawolf]

@Tago-Mago You're actually funny though. Must be from the British side of your family?

[Giles]

Infamous.....

[Tago Mago]

@seawolf highly likely

[seawolf]

@Tago-Mago I grew up watching the likes of Monty Python and Flying Circus, and it genuinely shaped my sense of humor. I love British humo(u)r.

[Tago Mago]

to be fair, Germans can be funny as well, it just doesn't translate and will never resonate beyond the German-speaking countries due to the language barrier

[Tago Mago]

enough off-topic. I bought a North Face duffel, mainly because I prefer the U-opening to the straight opening of the Ortliebs

Got the 110 l duffel myself, but then realized that it is so long that I had to drop it in oversized luggage twice already....

not true, but you'll never know since you cannot understand Loriot e.g.

I ordered the Peak Design Travel Duffel 35l as well. Chose it for the 4 outer pockets, the multiple carrying options and got it with two packing cubes (small & medium) which will fit exactly on the bottom of the duffel. Think it will nicely pair with the DSPTCH Utility Tote, and either together, or just one of them can work as carry on luggage.

[Giles]

My plan is that I used my Ortlieb carry-on with the DSPTCH utility tote....

I did mean to add, with the exception of all my hilarious German speaking friends, customers and forum members.....
