Scicon Race Rain Bag: The Ultimate Way To Organise Your Cycling Kit?

By 19 June 2018Uncategorised

For as long as I can remember the clothes draw at home (not to mention back of my car) have shared at least one common denominator … they’re both constantly full of assorted cycling kit.

Jerseys, glove(s), random singular socks and warmers were hiding everywhere. An intended quick spin on the bike was often met with frustration and comments such as “Where’s my darn left glove?”.

Upon receiving a new Scicon race rain bag that all changed. Realising it was high time to get organised,  and what better reason than use the bike bag the pros use, it was time to start packing smart.

Practical (and a little bit Pro)

Each week’s go-to cycling kit would be neatly stored and ready for use. In the 11 months since then I’ve found the bag to be the handiest, most orderly, sensible and stress-free way to assemble and organise cycling kit – it’s been great!

Take one look at Scicon’s purpose-designed race rain bag and there’s a fair chance two words will spring to mind … practical and pro. The practicality is obvious, what we also have here is a seriously cool and totally professional product.

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, they keep kit complete, and they 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 To Last

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.

Smart, Simple & Versatile

The Scicon race rain bag would have to be one of the smartest, simplest and most versatile ways to keep your precious cycling kit & accesories together. Don’t let the rain reference put you off. ‘Rain’ is simply referring to the ventilated mesh closure on the left side that allows you to store wet or damp items after a ride.

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 Noosa 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.
