Saddle Bag

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I went out to my shed today and found that for the first time in two and a half years i had a rear puncture.
All my tools and spare tubes are in my small topeak saddle bag. Unfortunately the zipper had rustened and although i sprayed wd40 on it wouldn't budge. In the end i took a stanley knife to it and ripped the bag open.
My question:Are there any saddle bags out there that do not use zips.

I have a large topeak one that uses a roll up and clips.

Try a bottle storage pod instead—no rusting and looks classier than a saddle bag

Carradice. All the old school ones use draw strings - not sure about the more modern style ones.

I have the Ortlieb, but the version that marries up to my Fizik saddles, I have nothing but praise for it.

Until you need to use the bottle holders for bottles of liquid?

I like the idea of the quick clip.
It has to hold two inner tubes,tyre levers and mini pump plus if possible multi tool.

Attach the pump to the frame

My bike -as do most -has 2 bottle holders in which Ican use a 1L bottle -more than enough for me to ride 2hrs to the next cafe stop.

May I suggest for your consideration a Brooks saddle bag? Various types available with no zips.

Also on the bay of E there are various Brooks type leather bags that are cheap as the proverbial chip.
