jersey with no rear pockets

[jifdave]

I bought a thermal jersey from sport pursuit, turned up today with no rear pockets, my pockets are normal stuffed full of gels/bars/tubes/coats.....

do any of you ride without rear pockets? where do you keep your stuff?

i could send it back but it fits perfect and im unusually proportioned....

I always have pockets on normal rides. You could stuff everything in an empty bidon, but tbh, I couldn't be bothered with this, hard to access on the fly.

Is it a thermal jersey or a thermal base layer? in which case it's worn underneath a normal jersey (which does have pockets).

Sorry in advance if I'm teaching you to suck eggs

Jersey. As per title and thread.... Lol.

Normally jersey or I'll stuff a couple of gels in my saddle bag. Gonna order one of these though, just to mix it up a bit http://www.wiggle.co.uk/bbb-btl-18l-tools-and-tube-storage-bottle-large/

My commuting jacket doesn't have a rear pocket, it has decent ones on the front but I choose not to use them stick my keys in a small wedge bag and other stuff (pump, spare tube, tyre levers, sadwich box, and occasionally groceries or other stuff) in a small scrunch bag.

Recumbent specific jerseys don't have rear pockets either.

Was it one of the Silvini jerseys? Mine arrived today from Sports Pursuit and as you say, no pockets. Nice garment though, long on the body and sleeves

yeah it was, i'm 6'8 so finding good fitting gear is hard.
just frustrating theres no pockets. i guess i could wear a jersey underneath with pockets...

Or over the top...or get a saddle bag?

 

[jifdave]

i have a saddle bag, thats usually got two tubes, multi tool, co2 pump and recently a waterproof coat.

over the top makes far more sense really....

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Slightly off topic, but when you use a saddle bag, where do you put your rear lights?

 

[jifdave]

either on the back of the bag, some lights fit on the strap across the back, or on my seat post

gave up in the end, i gave it to my brother for his commute.

now i need to find a new jersey before sundays kentish killer

 

[jifdave]

i bought 3 from wiggle, hopefully one will fit and i'll send two back
