Compact and fits well in the jersey pocket. I always have my small items with me in the Rapha waterproof pouch. I admit it, I like to forget things. Preferably my key! As a result, my loved ones always ask me several times before I leave the flat whether I have my keys with me. This applies to any everyday situation, but also when I set off on a bike ride.
But I have a helper who, so far at least, has prevented me from returning from a ride and realising that I was out and about without my house keys due to my poor memory. A waterproof pouch that was originally intended as a smartphone case has accompanied me on every road bike ride for years.
Small items that would otherwise have to be stowed wildly in the jersey pocket can be stored here. From the aforementioned keys to glasses cleaning cloth, mini tool, tyre levers and emergency gummy bears - nothing gets lost and is quickly to hand. The case also has two small side compartments on the inside, one of which has a zip. A dream for anyone who likes to keep things tidy. Always! Despite intensive use, the chic outer cover still looks like it did on the first day. The colours vary every season, with dark blue and black currently on offer. If you need a little more space, the Rainproof Essentials Case is also available in a larger version with 2 cm more height - surcharge only 1 euro!
