Vaude calls its bags ReCycle, which, according to the manufacturer, are made from polyester yarn obtained from recycled PET bottles. This process is said to conserve resources and is not a disadvantage from my point of view: the material looks high-quality and is waterproof. However, the textured surface is not as easy to clean as smooth surfaces...

Bag made from recycled materials that can be converted quickly and easily thanks to a reversible flap. The carrying comfort on the back is unrivalled and the tool-free attachment to the bike is absolutely solid. The interior is kept rather simple.
- The bag is waterproof and can be converted quickly. There is a good organiser inside.
- I find the roll-top fastener takes a bit of getting used to. There is only one pocket on the outside, which is only accessible when using the rucksack.
Ortlieb offers the best overall package of flexibility, comfort and robustness with the Vario. It has everything you need for both purposes. And with the best workmanship. However, I think beautiful is different. An alternative is the differently designed but almost functionally identical Transformer from Vaude...
