Pack the Scicon race rain bag properly and you’ll even be able to fit your helmet inside!
Look into many of the team cars at the Tour Down Under or Tour de France and one of the first things you’ll see is neatly stacked Scicon bags. Why? Because they help save time, keep kit complete, and offer incredible organisation. Preparation is a critical factor of success – and these bags can greatly reduce or completely eliminate that dreaded ‘faf about’ or ‘can’t find it’ factor.
Made Tough
Not only do the bags greatly assist organisation, they’re also made to last. Constructed of a strong, versatile and easy to keep clean black ripstop material, the bag can be wiped clean and – speaking from experience – looks brand new even after close to a year of regular use.
A high-quality product, the Scicon Race Rain Bag features light yet durable rip-stop canvas and heavy duty zips.
Compact in size and with six clearly marked and tabbed pockets (one at each end, two on top and two underneath), the race rain bag is surprisingly cavernous. Upon first preparing to pack it I was dubious about how much I’d be able to cram inside and did not expect to get the helmet in. Alas … it’s packed, as you’ll see in the checklist below.
From a simple weekend ride, to a trip away, Gran Fondo event such as the Bowral Classic, training, travel or racing – the Scicon Race Rain Bag has quickly become one of my most trusted and relied upon cycling accessories.
A tip after almost a year with the bag – sit down and spend 15 to 20 minutes ensuring everything’s together and neatly packed inside, leave the bag near the door or in the car, and rest assured you’ll have everything ready for your next ride.
