Alternative to the Rapha 'Essentials' toolbag ?

I've been riding with a small plastic pouch with my tools and cash in the back pocket for about a decade now. The zips gone and the pouch has holes and tears in it - so its probably time to splash out on a new one.
Without forking out £40 for the Rapha version - does anyone know of a cheaper alternative ?

lezyne do a couple. Not as nice looking as the rapha one but the caddy sack is big enough to fit a tube, levers, co2 etc and still small enough to go in a back pocket.0

+1 for Lezyne Caddy sack - does the job great. Although the essentials case is lush.http://www.georgesfoundation.org

I treated myself to an upgrade from a freezer bag to the essentials at Christmas time, very nice looking. Not lined with waterproof layer so on a long sweaty ride you might find a bit of moisture on phone or cash but nothing major.0

I've got the Lezyne caddy sack. I also use the Pro Bike Kit storage bottle. With the two there's more than enough storage.

Pro Bike Kit were giving away points to anyone signing up to their website. There are enough points to get one of these storage bottles for free. The delivery for it is free too....

Ziplok freezer bag - sorted.
If you NEED more style you WILL pay for it
None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0 -

Cheap as chips. Can even get a mini pump in 'em. Fit's in pocket or a saddle pouch (but not the very small ones).I may be a minority of one but that doesn't prevent me from being right.

Aah thanks. I've gone for the Caddy Sack. I have the Ikea freezer bag - double sealed dont you know for my phone - but that gets a pocket all to itself.

i don't get it. why would anyone need a bag they then have to store someone on themselves while riding?"Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0

I bet it's more waterproof as well as lighter than the Raphadaviesee wrote:Ziplok freezer bag - sorted.
