Winshell jacket storage on ride?
Where do you store your windshell jacket while on a ride if you only have wedge saddle bag that is already filled with necessities? This is on a traditional road bike.
My necessities I keep in the saddle bag are this: supplies to change a flat, cell phone, house key, asthma inhailer. The bag is full then.
I don't like a lot of stuff in my jersey pockets. Food supplies usually go in there. Stuffed too full, and the feel/weight just annoys me. I worry about losing the inhailer or phone out of the pockets, that's why I zip them in the saddle bag securely.
I really wanted the Gore Xeon jacket that's featured here on TE to work for me, because is comes with a zip baggie the jacket fits nicely in, but two size tries, it's just not working. My hope was to stuff the jacket bag in between the bike seat/saddle bag for storage.
I don't own another wind jacket. The more multipurpose rain jacket I have now is bulkier, and just trying to stuff it under the seat didn't work so well. Thus shopping for new.
Any thoughts appreciated. Thx! :)
Just a resolve follow up...
