Best Saddle Bag

VTech

I have a felt bike with a Prologo Zero T2.0 saddle and am looking for a saddle bag to fit to the rear of this saddle.
Ideally as close to a factory fit look as possible whilst being practical, light and looking like it was meant to be there.

Any ideas ?

Lezyne Micro caddies are nice. Don't make the mistake I did and get one (okay two) in white. Black is fine.

Actually, scratch that, you'd hate it. The saddle bag comes with two slots for tyre levers, but AFAIK none other than the Lezyne ones fit - and they're REALLY EXPENSIVE

My advice would be to decide what you want to carry and then find a saddlebag that it will all fit in to. Avoid any with quick realease clips as when you add to your bike collection it becomes a PITA to quickly move the bag between bikes. If you've got a spare bottle cage you could also look into something like this http://www.a1multisport.co.uk/products.aspx?prodid=452 for holding tools and tubes

That looks ok, I have 2 sections on my bike to fit these types of thing which i think I would need a bottle to drink from, a tool kit and a pump.
The bike is an aero type so ideally I would like a bottle to match.

The Lezyene are really nice and the velcro wrap system ensures a stable/secure fit and more importantly does not leave any exposed velcro that can snag your shorts. It also has a separate compartment for your multitool so you do not need to open the main compartment.

The ones with seperate sections are quite big though, no?

I've got a light which fits nicely around my seat post so don't want to loose that

I do like the idea of it in a bottle cage, but can you fit say 2 inner tubes, tyre levers and a multi tool without it busting out or rattle?

This is the one

The separate tool compatment is beneath the main bag (just above the black velcro wrap).

About £20 at LBS's.

What is factory fit look?

Why do you need a saddle bag?

Whats wrong with your jersey pockets?

+1 for Lezyne. Good quality, easy to fit & look ok on bike.

Lezyne micro looks neat but maybe too small to carry much else but minimum essesntials

I personally don't like things in my jersey, not sure about the OP

Just been reading reviews on google on
BBB BTL-18L Tools and Tube Storage Bottle (Large)

It's simple but sounds like you can fit the essentials and some have mentioned being able to fit a mini pump in aswell, which sounds like a good option and tempted by it, as it leaves space on seat post for my lights
