Do they exist ?

For the first time this year I decided to take the road bike out and it was a nice change from the MTB and Hybrid but I was paranoid about losing my phone and keys so if there are any jerseys out there with rear zips I would be grateful for any links etc

Thanks

It surprises me so many don’t come with zips tbh.

You’ve got your Moutain Bike head on. Roads are flat and dull and not bouncy therefore stuff doesn’t fall out.

Yes, I own one, have had it ages so no linky.

I wouldn’t be so worried though – I always carry my phone and keys in unzipped pockets and haven’t ever lost one (and I’ve spent thousands of hours on road bikes).

Yeah you are right I’m used to bouncing about on the MTB and stuff will go missing doing that.

I wish more had a zipped front pocket.

I always MTB in a roadie top if not wearing a pack so I can use the pockets for phone, keys, wallet, food, etc. Not lost anything yet! The pockets tend to be pretty deep and tight (fnaaar) so I can’t really imagine anything just bouncing out.

Decent tops hold kit in place anyway, I’ve never lost anything on road or mtb from jersey pockets. I used to feel like I had to have a zip now I’m not so bothered.

I’ve got a couple from lusso with zip pockets on the right rear but keys only not really big enough for a phone. Have 2 with zip pockets that are quite big from decathlon but they are centre pockets and I never put anything hard in the spine pocket, not going to go well if you land on it.

Not cheap but Ground Effects stuff tends to last a lot longer than most other tops I have had. Plus zips 🙂

I have an Endura one with at least one zippered pocket on the rear. Cant remember the model though.

I got some cheap Funkier ones from Halfords that have two open and one zipped pocket on the back.

I have a Howies Slipstream with a zipped pocket, gives a little extra confidence but to be honest I’ve never lost anything anyway.

The only times I’ve come close are when fishing around for something and inadvertently pulled something else out with it.

Planet X have a few as do Decathlon

I like my smartphone and credit card to be zipped in all the time

I was going to type exactly that. Cheap too.

I use a waterproof pouch…phone, cafe money & debit card all together.

The whole thing is pretty snug in my middle pocket, works really well.

Rapha have a zipped pocket on the Core and the Classic jersey. Maybe the others too. THANK-YOU-2017 will get you 25% off until the 30th

Torm have a couple of zipped pockets + the 3 usual open ones.

Some of Rapha’s range have zipped pockets, notably the Brevet range.

I’m the same, I hate having valuables / keys unzipped in pockets. I lost a phone once years ago while in an aero tuck descending a hill – felt it slide up the back of the pocket then it fell out onto the road and shattered.
On non-zipped jerseys I try and wedge the lot into the middle pocket inside a waterproof pouch.

Alé jerseys have a zipped pocket, as do most Rapha jerseys.

Torm sport two zipped pockets in addition to three big one.

You’ve got your Moutain Bike head on. Roads are flat and dull and not bouncy therefore stuff doesn’t fall out.

I’ve had stuff fall out whilst tucked in for descending.

Definitely Rapha ones do. But I rarely use them, stuff doesn’t tend to fall out unless I crash or overstuff pockets and fish around for food or my phone or something whilst riding.

Alpkit Rhythm (and Alpine) jerseys do…
