Today was the final straw: yet another zip-top baggie on the table after my husband returned from a long ride on his bike. A cell phone, ID and cash is essential when either of us go for a ride, but whereas I can shove all that in my cavernous underseat bag (along with spare tube and wrench), my husband likes his phone in his jersey pocket and thus needs something moderately water-resistant (hence, the baggie). It doesn't rain much here in Northern California, but early mornings can be darn foggy, and well, sweat is an issue. After buying some of this incredible bicycle print PUL for swimsuit wetbags, I couldn't put it off any more. My husband (and I!) need zipper pouches for cycling. Here's how to make your own water-resistant phone pouch, with lapped zipper, using your phone's own dimensions.
