    hmm maybe

    have a saddle bag but with tools etc in there things dont stay scratch free. Spose I could always get a good case and put it in there, just sometimes they can occasionally get wet inside if the weather is heavy

    I use an Exped dry bag in the smallest size. Good for money, card, phone & keys. Some scratch protection too.

    I use one of the ziplock bags that Zipvit sent some of their free samples out in. It's kept everything dry even in foul weather.

    I use small resealable freezer bags. Can't think of anything better to be honest, it just does the job.

    +1 for resealable freezer bags. Light, dirt cheap, replaceable and watertight. What is not to like?

    They're perfect. When you buy vits etc just choose that bag option rather than the bottle.

    I hadn't thought of that. I've got a big stash of grip seal bags (the ones with a thin plastic strip across the top which you simply press together).

    If anyone wants a few I'll happily post them out for the price of a stamp and envelope. I'll need to check sizes but I think I have 2 or 3 phones sized ones.

    If you don't mind paying a bit I use a sealline bag http://www.racekit.co.uk/product/seal-l ... case-small
    Works well, simple, strong.
