Cycling Weekly Verdict

A cheaper option than the standard RidePac, the RidePac Lite still provides the same capacity and features, but with a ripstop nylon finish. It’s a really good way to carry your cycling essentials around with you, without reverting to a saddle pack.

The VeloPac RidePac range has gradually increased over the last few years, with new designs of the standard model, softer fabrics and different size options. The RidePac Lite actually weighs 6g more than the original RidePac. But it does cost £12 less, so it’s light on your wallet rather than your rear pocket. It’s also made in the Far East rather than, as with the original, in the UK.

The RidePac Lite comes in black, blue, teal or mocha ripstop, waterproof nylon. Like the original RidePac there’s a waterproof zip, so your kit won’t get wet even if you’re riding damp roads and have it stashed in your middle pocket. So it’s a safe way to carry your phone, as well as your other bits and bobs, on your rides.
