...anyone know if there's any truth to the rumor that they will be coming out with Di2 Ziploc bags next year ? If so, I'm gonna wait to replace mine.

I just bought a 50-bag lot of 6mil 4" wide x 6" long bags which are a better shape for my phone. Just peel the bag down a bit and I can use my camera, without getting my grubby fingers all over the phone. 6mil is too thick though, shoulda gone for 4 mil. Work well though!
Not Ziploc brand tho...

I prefer the Ziploc® quart freezer bags. The pink and blue color scheme is definitely faster than the older yellow and blue.
It's important to check before each ride for possible irregularities in the plastic. I once had a bag asplode while riding.

My Ziploc® is an old model with just the pressure sealed zip and color change. Would I appreciate upgrading to the Slideloc style?

In all seriousness, I have had Ziplocs fail. So, I carry my stuff in a small dry bag.

Ziplock is a pedestrian bag at best made for light consumer use. Like I mentioned before, go Zip-Pak or you take your chances with a run-of-the-mill POS bag.

Casually Deliberate
FWIW a friend did this- not for biking purposes though- and lost nearly 2 pounds. But how does one regulate the timing of the event? If it occurs too early before the ride commences, it might as well not have happened.
