Light Back-pack

desmorrow

Want something compact to throw a spare tube, pump and phone in. So smaller and lighter the better. Any suggestions?

This has a 1.5L bladder and it's only £13 from Tesco Direct

Cheers but a bit chunky for me. I'm old school with a drinks cage - I prefer to minimise weight on the back, so literally just the repair essentials to keep me going!

Cycling jersey with pockets.

Or something like this:



That's what I do, along with a bottle, as I'm not keen on backpacks either

I used to use one of those - work well but people used to laugh and call it my knitting basket because of the tools rattling around.

They look like codpieces.

Had one of those wee bags but gets covered in thick mud and eventually the zip died, open up mid ride and lost gear.

cycling jersey I guess in an option but might shoot for that bag.

Bit useless. They don't make mega super monster large.

I often use one but I have a cloth in there that I wrap the tools in, then put an elastic band round the resulting bundle of cloth and this stops the tools rattling. Works OK for me, depends on the size and shape of the bag and the tools you want to carry I guess.

Indeed, but at 43 I no longer care

I was looking at a set of Henry VIII's tournament armour in Royal Armouries museum the other day. Codpiece on that was enormous, could've been used as a weapon itself.
