USA: "Every once in a while you find a cycling product and you know instantly you must have it. When I saw an ad for JerseyBin Waterproof Cycling Pouches I ordered three pouches immediately, and when they arrived a few days later it took all of 30 seconds to realize they were exactly what I needed...My iPhone is always in a very thin polycarbonate shell. However, the display is not covered so when cycling I always want to carry it in a weatherproof case. I tried the OtterBox Defender Case, but it is a royal pain to get the iPhone into the case and another pain to get it back out. I also tried several other iPhone cases and all of them made my iPhone sag at the bottom of my jersey pocket and none of them were waterproof. JerseyBins solve both problems—the case is waterproof and it’s designed to keep your back pocket from sagging because it spreads out the weight of the iPhone (or any other cell phone) better than any other case I’ve tried...I had only been using a JerseyBin for a few days before I got caught out in a heavy rain and I am happy to report that it worked perfectly..."
USA: "JerseyBin: A Genius of a Little Pouch." They don’t look like much, but appearances can be deceiving. JerseyBin is one of the simplest yet useful products I have found to carry small personal items without fear of losing anything and keeping everything organized while cycling..."
USA: "I have been using my JerseyBin that the owner and founder hooked me up with. I have to say I love it! No more pulling in to Circle K in the middle of nowhere to pay for a drink and Power Bar with soaking wet sweaty money. Plus it keeps my cell phone nice and dry. Last month I was caught in a rain storm and had my phone in my pocket and the rain ruined my phone. The JerseyBin is well worth the money which will save you tons of money in the long run by protecting your cell phone and other items..."
USA: "I am a triathlon coach and tend to live in my workout gear so finding a product like the JerseyBin that keeps my cell phone dry and working at all times is wonderful. I love the fact that it is heavy duty enough to last for a season rather than just a few workouts. I can fit my Blackberry in the large size and all the other stuff I tend to carry in the other. The cue sheet feature is just another added benefit. If I am on the bike my JerseyBin is with me! In fact I believe in this product so much that I am going to give one to everyone I coach!

USA: "I’ve been dealing with a little problem ever since I started road cycling. Chances are, you’ve been dealing with it, too. It was a nuisance, but not annoying enough that I thought too much about it...I’m talking about carrying stuff in your jersey pockets. You can stick your cell phone in there, but then it gets soaked in sweat. Toss some energy bars in, but then your pockets sag down. Put your used gel packets back in, but then you get a sticky residue in the pocket...What do you do? Use the JerseyBin...I like the JerseyBin for my cell phone because it is waterproof. (Really that’s my #1 favorite thing and reason to buy these JerseyBins.)...Sagging jersey pockets are ugly, and they make the ride uncomfortable because it pulls your jersey back. The bin makes the load feel lighter as well, so all in all, it leads to greater comfort...I recommend them to everyone...And if you carry a cell phone while riding, I highly recommend at least getting one JerseyBin to use to carry your phone. It’s well worth the cost for phone protection."
Italy: "Have you ever had problems to protect your phone from rain or dirt during cycling? If the answer is yes, the reason is because you have never used a JerseyBin. This simple accessory is designed specifically for the needs of our cyclists...We had no difficulties, for example, to insert a camera thickness - quite important. Additionally, JerseyBins can be personalized with logos and graphics for groups of cyclists, long distance race ... who will now have a small waterproof pouch as a practical and indispensable travel companion."
USA: "Tested: 338 hrs. (Trim Bin); 53 hrs. (Big Bin)...I used a JerseyBin for much of the 2009 season. It worked exactly as promised, keeping contents safe and dry...Sure, baggies do a similar job, and I used them for years, but a JerseyBin is to a baggie like Superman is to Clark Kent...Bottom Line...It's nice to find a product that's practical, durable, inexpensive and does what it promises. The JerseyBin fills the bill...If you need a secure, waterproof way to carry ID, electronics and small personal items on rides, a JerseyBin beats a baggie bigtime."

"Noob or not, cyclists like their baggies...As handy as baggies are, they’re ridiculously thin. After repeated use, mine features multiple tears that no longer allow it to get the job done...What I’ve really wanted is a heavier duty zip-lock bag little bigger than the contents I wanted to carry in it. That’s when I spotted a tweet from pro rider Ted King featuring that exact thing — a thick, tough, phone-sized, zip-style bag with a Strava logo. Turns out it was a privately labeled “Jersey Bin.”...Like a Ziploc on steroids, the Jersey Bin (www.jerseybin.com) is made from a 10-gauge vinyl that resists the pokes or tears that would bring a standard baggie to its knees...A simple idea? Certainly. But one I’ve been looking for a long time..."
Australia: "Top Gear Reviews: Hey, now these are great... The smallest is big enough for an i-phone, key, money and cash card. I tested them out in heavy rain and found their zip lock kept my phone perfectly dry. Many people use zip lock sandwich bags, but how many of us re-use them? Not many I’ll bet. The Jersey Bins will last for ages, being made from a heavy duty plastic..." Click here for article:
Top Gear Review Give it some time to upload!
USA: "I spend a LOT of time on my bikes…in the rain and in the damp heat of SW Florida. Most times during the summer, I travel with a frozen waterbottle in the center-rear pocket of my jersey…extra hydration and a simple core-cooling technique (a frozen block of water next to the spine works pretty well). As I heat up and as that bottle’s contents melt, condensation and sweat soak my jersey. I used to use plastic sandwich bags, and those just don’t last more than a couple of trips before they’ve got holes in them. Not good. With the Trim Bin, though, I can safely carry my “dumbphone”, a pair of spare AA batteries, ID card/debit card and a few dollars, and everything stays nice and dry...the Jersey Bin works and they are relatively inexpensive..."
United Kingdom: "...Whichever electronic device or paper money you decide to entrust, it will remain operable and/or dry no matter the ferocity of the elements buffeting your onward motion. My continued use of the trimbin can be taken as my vote of confidence in its efficacy. The great joy of this simplicity is that purchasing really is a no-brainer; there is no need whatsoever to cogitate, because the prices are undeniably favourable...)
USA: "The folks from JerseyBin (www.jerseybin.com) contacted us and asked if they could send some samples of their waterproof pouches for cyclists to review. We said sure. Then not being riders, we wondered if there really was something important and useful here. So we sent an email to a friend who is an avid cyclist...He said, “Funny you ask because today I was on a ride and it started dumping rain and I was freaking out that I was ruining my new ‘Droid phone.” He is now the proud owner of several JerseyBin pouches and he loves them..."
Australia: "If like me you have been using zip lock sandwich bags to carry your phone, keys, money et cetera when out riding then I have a simple product for you...In both wet and humid conditions the Jersey Bin have prevented my phone from being damaged. They are also handy for storing those sticky gel packets...The small size can comfortably contain a typical mobile phone with larger smart phones such as the Apple iPhone just fitting in. The larger size can easily contain other products such as a digital camera."
Australia: "I’ve seen cyclists go to get out their mobile phone only to find it sweaty. Others use a zip lock bag which are water proof, though after short while becomes sweaty and disgusting, you have to throw them out after each ride. More durable and compact is the Jersey Bin...The Jersey Bin holds a lot more than you would expect, tightly closed it will easily hold your Iphone or Blackberry (or any other popular phone), notes and coins, multitool, business cards, credit cards or small digital camera..."
USA: JerseyBins made it on Pez Holiday Wish list #2!
USA: 4.5 Chainrings out of 5. So what does Bicycle.net think of the Jersey Bin?
(Review by: Albert S.) “...I used the JerseyBins for well over 100 hours while riding in both warm and cold conditions. I used one to hold both my Blackberry, and ID. I used another to hold my gel packets, and a 3rd to store the used gel packets so I could keep my pockets clean. They performed just as the company described, and they fit my jersey pockets (with many different jerseys, by different manufactures) perfect...They are such a simple idea that works picture perfect. Nice Job JerseyBin.”
United Kingdom: "...I went about putting my precious iPhone and debit card into the JerseyBin in preparation for a ride. For a smart phone, I opted for the Big Bin, which had ample room for my belongings...Plastic bags are cheap, but when you’re protecting expensive items, I’d always choose the JerseyBin for peace of mind...a small price to pay for security and waterproofing."
USA: "...The Jersey Waterproof Pouch Bins are designed to protect your gadgets in wet conditions by its waterproof and sealable qualities...Gadgets like cellular phones, iPods, MP3s, GPS and the likes are very well accommodated in these waterproof pouches...The Jersey Waterproof Pouch Bins make checking missed calls on your touch screen phone hassle-free because touch sensors remain responsive through the vinyl. Aside from the Jersey Bin logo that comes with the pouches, you can also make use of the personalized labeling that is available if you want to add your own personal touch to it."
United Kingdom: "A bin that goes in your jersey, eh? Well, kind of. The Jersey Bin is a clear plastic sealable envelope designed to protect valuables that comes in two sizes, BigBin and TrimBin, both dimensioned to fit inside the average road cycling jersey pocket...The seal is waterproof and easy to both open and close while the material - 8-gauge vinyl - is durable and recyclable. Mobile phone touch screens work through the vinyl, which is decorated with the Jersey Bin logo although custom-printed personalised labelling is available."
SAFETY: For your personal safety: Always bring bicycle to a full stop before using your JerseyBin!
