Saddle bag

I'm looking to buy a small-medium sized saddle bag. I only really need it to carry a spare tube, levers, multitool, phone and keys. I want something that doesn't look too big, silly etc. Can anyone suggest something that fits the bill?

Does anyone use the extra large one at all?
For sportives, I was thinking I'd really need more than one tube and two CO2 cartridges. Like maybe three tubes, 4 or 5 cartridges and a pump... plus my multitool and a chain tool plus magic link (which I don't have yet).... plus maybe some extra flapjack... plus... ??
So the little Topeak pack I use at the moment isn't really big enough.Is the gorilla tired yet?0 -
For sportives - Topeak Small Wedge and tri-bag on front.
Wedge carries - 2 tubes, 2 CO2 cartridges, lezyne inflator, levers, multi-tool, contact lenses, cable lock, patches, gloves.
Tribag- wallet, keys and phone, flapjacks and gels.
Mini-pump on frame.
Banana, waterproof etc in jersey pockets0 -

For me the tri-bag is a better idea than a really big bag out back
Specialized mini-pump under the front bottle cage, its only 175cm long so not too unsightly.0 -

All that could fit in a cut up water bottle and your back pockets.0 -

Designed for tubs but makes a lovely slim bag - won't rub your shorts/tights - and holds loads.0 -

Yup, I use this combo and works well. I prefer the topeak as the ones I use are quick release things.0 -
I quite like this one -

Fits multi-tool, tube, CO2 and levers. You just need to remember to duct tape over the hole at the mounting mechanism (so it doesn't fill with water dripping off your saddle) and bin the levers that come with it.
The big advantage for me is that it's a saddle bag that doesn't have a velcro strap around the seatpost.
Re - 'All that can go in your pockets'. Yes it could but I have my phone, cleat covers, mini pump, arm warmers and energy bars in my pockets (and occasionally a gilet or waterproof).0 -
Another +1 for Lezyne, just got a S-Caddy. I carry same as you but phone goes in my jersey/jacket pocket.0

+1 Lezyne Micro Caddy, it's a great bag, stretchy so you can cram a lot in there, it even looks good.
The poster who says cut up a water bottle obviously doesn't need to mount two bottles.Ridley Orion0 -
Thanks for all the input guys, I very much appreciate your advice! I have ordered a medium sized Lezyne Micro Caddy from CRC0

Just got the Lezyne. Fits 2 tubes and a couple of Allen keys with tyre levers underneath.
Annoying thing is that the strap could do with being a bit longer.0 -
