Ortlieb Document Bag

The Ortlieb map bags are simply the best on the market if used correctly. The PU bag itself is extremely durable irrespective of temperature (hot or cold). The PU bag will not crack, tear, puncture or rip if snared on barbed wire etc and the Velcro roll top will resist water penetration. The only drawback is that over long term sunlight exposure, the PU bag will slowly discolour (to a light brown colour) but it will remain transparent. However it will be be in excess of 10 years use before it becomes unusable due to discoloration. Best water proof map or document bags in the market. BUY!

The material might look not so durable but it is. The velcro closure is working fine and no water enters the bag whatsoever, totally recommended. With good care (wash after use) will last for years.

Just what you need for passports and cash when there is a risk of things getting wet or sweaty. I have just bought my second one of these. The first one lasted twelve years and for three of those it was in daily use in South America, Australasia and Central Asia. After all this use it finally failed after over a decade when the velcro tabs became unglued. The waterproofness of the bag was still good.

I have had an A5 document case for a year or so now and use it a 3 or 4 times a week. I use it to hold my smartphone, cards and some cash whenever I go out on my road bike/running. Keeps my phone dry from rain and sweat and also allows me to use the touchscreen for maps on the go. It is a good size to use with cut down paper maps in foul weather and/or when running as it is easier to stow in a pocket than a full-size map case. I have also used it for holding tickets, passports and other boring but important documents. Comes with a silly piece of string. I have recently bought one for my other half as well. Mine is a little yellower than her new one but you wouldn't notice it without a pristine example next to it. Remains totally waterproof and reliable. Great item.

A very handy little bag which I have used to keep my passport and other small documents clean and dry. Two passports and boarding passes fit in without too much trouble, and it's easy to carry on your person thanks to the cord.

I use this bag for my own A4 walking maps and it's perfect - light, flexible and waterproof.

This is excellent for A4 documents in all weathers, sturdy and waterproof. This is my third as I have a bad habit of misplacing them,

Ideal for A4 map printouts and made from the high quality plastic that does not crack when it is really cold. Could do with the lanyard being a bit longer but apart from that it is excellent.

I bought the A5 one for my phone so I can get it in, open in its case. It fits well and I can work the phone through it. Ortlieb say that the camera will work fine through it. It works but the pictures are not clear and look like they are in soft focus. Overall, a good, well-made product.

The A4 size is just what I needed to contain PC printouts of sections of a map. The double-sided case allows the map to be viewed from one side and any printed guidance notes from the other. Velcro closure looks pretty waterproof but I haven't yet had a really rainy day to test it properly. The neck string is adequate though for the price I thought a lanyard with clips could have been provided.
