Handy water bottle for tools
I was a bit done with that dangling saddlebag. This boidon is a really nice alternative, looks a lot sleeker on the road bike and is easy to use. To get all my tools and an inner tube in it does take a bit of cramming, unlike a saddlebag this water bottle doesn't give. But in the end I get everything I want to take with me in it. Do pay attention to the screw cap: close it carefully to get it really tight. That is sometimes a bit of a struggle.

A water bottle for your emergency kit
Instead of a bag under the saddle that catches everything and gets drenched, I take a waterproof canister with me in winter. 0.5L capacity and you can fit quite a lot in there: tyre sealers, inner tube, multi-tool, co2 cartridge incl trivio valve adapter, sticker and quick link. I did leave the inner cap out, quicklink goes in loose and gives you just a bit more space for a tube with a long valve.

Exactly what I was looking for
Was looking for a replacement for my saddle tool bag. Product satisfies and can hold quite a lot. Of course you have to sacrifice the bottle holder for it so make sure you have a second one or a water backpack

Handy alternative to saddlebag
Alternative to my saddlebag - bike looks a bit tighter this way, and my multitool doesn't rust. Large version holds 2x 16g CO2 cartridge + pump; 28-40mm inner tube; 2 tyre levers; 16-in-1 multitool; quick links; roll of insulating tape (you never know...); some plasters and painkillers; and my house key. Is well full and so doesn't rattle. Hasn't fallen out of the bottle cage yet (even over gravel and cobblestones), but it does tend w1t to creep up (of course, that could also be down to my bottle cage). The plastic did get scratched from the first use by my (alu) bottle cage....
