Cockpit-Pack
Ortlieb Cockpit-Pack Review
Tested and reviewed for bikepacking use
Ortlieb applies their IP64 waterproof standard to this compact cockpit bag. The welded construction means zero leak points, and the roll-closure top seals securely even in a downpour. It mounts to the stem and top tube, keeping it within easy reach for navigation devices and snacks.
Who Is the Ortlieb Cockpit-Pack Best For?
Wet-weather riders who need guaranteed waterproof cockpit storage. If that describes your riding style, the Cockpit-Pack should be at the top of your shortlist. It sits in the Top Tube & Feed Bags category alongside 8other products we've reviewed.
How It Compares
At 80g and $55, the Cockpit-Pack is 35g heavier than the lightest option in this category (the Oveja Negra Chuckbucket Feedbag at 45g). The most budget-friendly option is the Blackburn Outpost Top Tube Bag at $35.
The price-to-weight ratio comes in at $69 per 100g — a premium price point, but you're paying for quality, materials, and design that justify the investment for serious bikepackers.

The Bottom Line
