In keeping with its commitment to innovation, ORTLIEB has just introduced another PVC-free line of products made of a polyurethane-coated polyester fabric.
The base fabric of the products in the Free Line is coated with polyurethane in a manner that ensures lasting waterproof qualities. The result is a waterproof and durable canvas material that is as outstanding as the conventional ORTLIEB canvas material when it comes to durability and service life. The products in the Free Line are available in classic black and two other appealing colors.
The PVC-free version of the proven ORTLIEB Back-Roller was developed for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts who would like to avoid PVC entirely. This rear pannier bag with a roll closure offers ultimate practicality for all of your bike tours and weekly grocery-shopping ventures, especially on account of its generous payload. Thanks to its waterproof exterior, easy-to-clean interior and shoulder-bag function, the Back-Roller Free is ideal for all who would like to use their bikes despite having things to carry. With the Quick-Lock2.1 system, the bags attach to any bike rack with a tube diameter of up to 16 mm. Larger hooks (e.g. for e-bikes) are available separately.

Good price, known Ortlieb quality. Had exactly the same set for the front (sport-roller), so ordered this color for the back.

Otherwise good and waterproof, but the lock fittings / spacers were impossible to install. They just didn't fit in. As a result, the bag was pretty loosely attached and rested over the rotvalla as it went into the middle of the guardrail with its shopping, grabbing with it a fender twist and breaking the plastic reinforcement at the bottom corner of the bag. Those plastic reinforcements were also quite hefty and made thinner just at the bend. Now it sneezes and scratches clothes while carrying the bag. The bag is suitable for carrying light items such as clothes, but I would not dare to put anything else heavier there.
