We Scoured the Internet for Opinions and Found the Top Ten Things You Should Stuff in Your Pelikan SMS Bicycle Seat Bag
There are many, many experts weighing in on just the right items to take with you when your out for a day in the sun. We reviewed articles, blog posts, and videos before reaching an amazing decision. Most of these experts were building the kit based on their unique needs. We wanted to start at the beginning and envision what would make the most sense. Here is what we came up withStart with the best seat bag ever created. Don't take our word for it. Check out the review of the Pelikan SMS Wide Mouth Wedge Bag here. This new concept bag is being referred to as a true breakthrough. Unlike other bags, the Pelikan mounts with silicone straps that will never rip your lycra shorts, stays tight even off road, and is super fast to mount and dismount. The SMS mounting system is gentle on carbon seat posts, too. Seriously, you should go read the review about this bag. It is amazing. You can also buy this bag without this build out on Amazon. We do throw in a pair of tire levers as a bonus. You'll find the bag, by itself, here.
As a tool kit, there is plenty of room for what you need and a place to store money, driver's license, and keys. Two zippers make it easier to open and close.

Here is what we recommend you put in the new Pelikan Seat Bag
Many of the following items are offered in our prepacked bag available at the shop or on Amazon for just $39.95. See details below
1. First aid - It just makes sense. The following items take up next to no room. Three medicated band aids in various sizes. Two or three individual hand wipes. You’ll be so glad you brought these one day.
2. Identification - Some don’t like to carry a wallet. At least bring the ID.
3. Cash - $5 can get you out of almost any jam. Debit card, too? You'll need to supply the cash. Not included with purchase.
4. House key - Easy to forget when you’re traveling light
5. Multi-tool set - Find the right tools for your bike. Even if you can’t fix anything, maybe someone else can help if you have the tools. The multi-tool set that we include has the perfect set of allen wrenches and screw drivers for any needed repair.
6. Cell Phone - Probably no need to remind you to bring this absolute necessity. You may prefer to use a mounting system to attach to your handlebar. But it will fit nicely into most seat bags.
7. Patch Kit and tire changing tool - Don’t bother with the a patch kit if you don’t have the tire tool. West of Kansas, due to tire eating thorns, you will need all the protection possible against flats. In the rest of the world, it is certainly nice to have a way to fix a flat when they occur. For the Western US, be sure to outfit your tires with RhinoDillos tire liners. Then take a patch kit and tire tool for good measure.
9. A spare tube - This will act as stuffing in your seat bag to keep other items from rattling around. It is also great for those times when the patch kit doesn’t work or you go through multiple flats.
10. Sun screen - Did you remember to put
sun screen on when you left the house early in
the day. Nutz! Now you have to hunt down and pay dearly for a large bottle of some brand you don’t even like. Instead, get the individual packets and put two or three in your seat bag. Or buy a small plastic bottle, and pour some of your favorite sun screen into the bottle as back up. You’ll thank me.
Now get all of this at a greatly reduced price. Over $50 worth of products for just $39.95.
The Pelikan bag alone has an MSRP of $27.50. Tubes range from $5 to $8.00. The Mulit-tool is another $8.00. Patch kit and tire tools will add another $7.00 or more. The value is at $50 before you add in the medicated band-aids, antiseptic hand wipes, and emergency sunscreen. This set up does not include a pump.
