I always keep my iPhone in one of my jersey pockets, and find that after long rides it is soaked in sweat and (in the summer months) overheated. I’m wondering if anyone has a recommended solution to this that isn’t too bulky and doesn’t require a saddle bag. I’m not too worried about ease of acces…

I’m fairly happy with this one. A tad bit bulkier than I would prefer but good otherwise. [image] Ride Wallet Our durable ripstop nylon fabric and waterproof zipper keeps your essentials safe from the elements, and is perfect to stash those important items on a ride. Tuck away your ID,…

Thank you to everyone for the responses. I’ve tried ziploc bags in the past with mixed results, but it seems there are a few other options to choose from that fit the need here.

Oh… I tried a case with a stitched in plastic cover (Manhattan Portage) and HATED IT! And it tore a bit.

Rapha essentials cases work great, the waterproof zipper is easy to use to take out phone for photos while riding and has kept my phone dry in torrential downpours. Plus it has a zippered interior pocket for a credit card, cash, house key and spare CR2032 battery

+1 for the Rapha case but get the large. Phone, emergency cash in case of lift, keys and a spare set of contact lenses. Keeps everything dry and I haven’t had any heat issues running it in the Aussie summers

Assuming a normal sized 3-pocket jersey, yes. Some of the smaller 2-pocket women’s jerseys, or small-pocket aero kit, maybe not?

All the newer iPhones are waterproof, but that doesn’t solve your heat problem…

Did you have the large or the regular version of the Rapha bag? If the larger would it fit the larger (Max) iPhone?
