Water bottle parts carrier?

I've seen a water bottle that is made for carrying small parts. I would
rather use that for a tube, irons and a patch kit instead of a bag under the
saddle. I think it had a large opening, as opposed to standard water
bottle, so it could hold larger things.

I can't seem to locate it now and thought maybe someone could enlighten me.
A source, online or otherwise, would be good or just a name to goggle with
would be appreciated. Thanks,

John

Personally I've used a standard water bottle before. All the items you
mention fitted.

Here are several choices, but it looks like they only wholesale. Maybe
send them an e-mail if you're interested.

I gave up and use an under-the-saddle bag by Cannondale that's long and about
the same diameter as a water bottle. Fits in the water bottle carrier nicely,
has a couple of velcro tabs at the bottom. I use an old leather toe clip strap
to secure it up around the middle.

IMHO it works better than a wide-mouth bottle would because it has a couple of
zipper pouches on the outside for commonly-accessed items, like a 5 mm allen key
- yet has enough volume inside for a tube or two, a pump, and patching kit.

How about a plastic peanut butter jar? Looks about the right
diameter for the bottle holder, and a good price to boot.
Mmmm. Food....

Dear John,

Around the middle of this page is
something like what you're after:

It's a zipper-top bag shaped like a water bottle.
