Ortlieb card sleeve (rock solid)<\/h2>\n

An Ortlieb<\/a> card sleeve is always one thing: rock solid.
\nMoreover, if you choose Ortlieb, it is always very flexible.
\nThat has everything to do with the composition of the versatile card case, a card case that you can easily take with you on any expedition.
\nSo ideal for a winter trip to Sweden<\/a> or a winter trip to Norway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The flexibility of the card case is widely praised<\/h2>\n

The flexibility of an Ortlieb card sleeve is due to the many plasticizers and silicones incorporated into the Ortlieb card sleeve material.
\nThese raw materials ensure that the card cover does not freeze, even just at temperatures of minus 20 or minus 30 degrees Celsius.
\nGranted, there are cheaper card covers than Ortlieb’s available.
\nMore than enough even.
\nHowever, these card sleeves have much less plasticizers and silicone, and this can result in the sleeve becoming severely damaged and even breaking at very low temperatures.
\nAnd that is obviously not the intention during a winter trip.<\/p>\n

Extending the string of the Ortlieb protective cover<\/h2>\n

If you are well prepared, you have extended the string around the neck of the Ortlieb card case itself.
\nYou can use an extended rope to put the card cover around the neck and put the arm through it.
\nThis makes it easier to grab the map and look at it and read the necessary information about the trip to the Northern Lights or your husky trek.<\/p>\n

Ortlieb is not just for expeditions<\/h2>\n

It is also a household name in the cycling world.
\nThe map sleeve from Ortlieb, incidentally also a specialist within map sleeves for bikes, comes in A4 size, which is a perfect size to work with.
\nOrtlieb make sure you always arrive at your destination without detours.
\nThe card covers are translucent and wrinkle-free.
\nOften Ortlieb’s covers have a clip attachment.
\nThe card sleeve is highly foldable and rotatable, and Ortlieb’s sleeve weighs only 84 grams.<\/p>\n

One can hardly think of a better protective cover than Ortlieb’s card sleeve<\/h2>\n

Ortlieb’s card sleeve is special.
\nThus, it has film with a UV resistant polyurethane layer.
\nWith Ortlieb’s card case, you simply have everything you need on the go as well.
\nThe material is very flexible and the cover is highly load-bearing.
\nThe cover simply provides the best possible protection from all possible outside influences.
\nAnd because those outside influences can be quite severe, there is hardly a better protective cover imaginable than Ortlieb’s version.<\/p>\n

A map cover is also essential on an Arctic trek or winter expedition<\/h2>\n

When you go on a South Pole expedition or North Pole expedition, you think about having the right expedition bag and the right tent.
\nTo a good compass.
\nAnd to a multitool<\/a> and a repair kit<\/a> and certainly to protective clothing<\/a>.
\nAlso, be sure not to forget the Ortlieb map cover.
\nBecause a good and flexible card case is also simply indispensable to any expedition.
\nYou would prefer a cover that can withstand a beating.
\nJust then, you’ve come to the right place with Ortlieb.<\/p>\n
