Touring - Maybe someone here can help me find this product. Waterproof tube for drink powders?

I remember someone here posting a link to a site that sold these and maybe super powerful flashlights. Just a small plexi tube I believe with a sealed screw on top with a ring for a lanyard. Any help is appreciated.

I just get trial shampoo bottles and clean them out. ~$1 each.

I can't help with that. I will say that we found the gatorade single size packets nice when we could find them. I will also say that when there were three of us the big tubs of gatorade were a convenient size. No big deal to stop and measure a scoop into a bottle.

Well I'm not a tourer myself just a long haul roadie so I want something to go in a jersey pocket. Just thought this forum would be a better place to ask.

Try looking here http://www.bepreparedtosurvive.com/Misc.Conatiners.htm scroll down towards the bottom of the page and you will find some vials / containers that may fit your needs.

M&M mini's containers.

In that case... Have you tried the little packets? Just enough for a bottle and easy to carry in a jersey pocket. It costs a little more that way but not that bad. Otherwise there are lots of little vials in the camping section at REI if you have one near you.

Ziplock bag.

Look into NUUN

Aren't the tubes that cigars come in watertight?

If you have a good sized REI nearby, you might check them out (or buy online). They carry a very nice selection of various sized bottles.

Something like this (http://www.rei.com/product/402026/flat-oval-bottle-4-fl-oz), or there similar 8oz size. Nice shape for a jersey pocket, and soft plastic.

Hammer Gel has a nice sized flask (http://www.hammernutrition.com/products/hammer-flask.hf.html?navcat=accessories&subnavcat=bottles), and holsters for them.

Those NUUN tabs seem really good, are the tubes comfy in a jersey? Or do you just carry a couple tabs in a ziplock?

I carry the NUUN in the tube in my bag bag so they dont get smashed.. 1/2 tab makes 8 ounces

I just put the powder in a smaller size water bottles with a pull up spout and throw it in the third bottle cage or in one of the bags. Dump into water bottles as needed.

Not suggesting you buy a case of these (http://tinyurl.com/qvgvha) but you can usually find singles at local supplement stores--I know that Vitamin Shoppes carry them. They are REALLY heavy plastic and quite waterproof. I think they hold about 3 or 4 ounces IIRC.

If you go to a camping store,you can get these:http://www.worldfms.com/images/camping/478am.jpg (javascript:;)

zzOtherlandzz ..... Wonders where the drug dealers get the little zip lock bags.... LOL Actually I have seen the little zip lock (not the brand ziplock) bags at the flea market before. They came in like a little bundle of 50 of them. The guy had a few different sizes.

Wouldn't happen to be these guys?

I measure a bottles worth into a snack size ziplock. Make 3 or 4 depending on ride length, and then put them all inside a regular size sandwich ziplock (had a single back come open on a sweaty ride... not pretty). Takes up little room, hard to break, fairly easy to pour or rip a corner off.
