ISO/WTB/WTT/Looking for recommendations for: largish cycling repair kit bag or sack to carry inside saddlebag.

[Patrick Moore]

I'm looking for a well made zippered or velcro'd pouch about 7/8" X 4" X 2/3" -- see photos -- to replace the suitably-sized but very cheap vinyl pouch that came, IIRC, with some Amazon purchase. 

Woven nylon, leather, cotton canvas, even sturdier vinyl all acceptable.

Can anyone recommend a make/model and source?

Does anyone have something like this to sell, trade, give to charity?

Thanks.

I use the wonderful Ruthworks Large saddle wedges that are just big enough for my bulky on-bike repair/convenience kits (4 oz bottles of OS + 2 tubes + large old bandana as wipe-up rag + tightly folded musette + the usual tools) but I've taken to keeping the formerly winter-weather-only Riv Saddlesack Medium on the gofast year 'round as its much more convenient than the musette for extempore purchases -- carried home today 2 q ATF+4 and 3.75 fl oz Good formerly known as Shoe Goo fro O'Reilly's.

There was recent discussion of Alchemy Goods as a place to recycle old inner tubes. Why not have a look at the upcycled results?

I have their Ballard belt, two different sizes of Dopp kits, and an assortment of zippered pouches. The aesthetic works for me, and it’s all proven to be very durable.

Thanks, Jay. The 2 travel kits (we used to call the toilet kits) would work fine, but $35 and $40 for a utility pouch that will be hidden in a saddlebag and carry grubby tools is rather high.

After reading this, I realized I had the ideal pouch already, a zippered Jansport nylon canvas pouch that I've owned for probably 30 years; it's currently holding my miscellaneous lighting kit: battery headlights and tail lights, reflective gear, chargers. So I went to Jansport and sure enough, the have the zippered "Perfect Pouch, 9" X 4" X 3" for $15, so that I ordered 2 of them with tax and $5 (!!) shipping for $38. If they're as well made as the old one they're more than good enough.
