Why would anyone waste money on Ziploc bag? I get product packaging all the time that's better for cycling. Pick a plastic bag that's the right size -- just a little wider and cut it off to be a couple of inches longer than what you want to carry. Drop your stuff in, fold over the top, and you've go a sweat proof, water proof carrying case.
And best of all, no annoying, troublesome, slow to open and close zip lock.
Reduce -- reuse -- recycle! It's got cycle in the name, let's do it!

Yes...use and reuse, uh, recycle...all,sizes. I also have a Food Saver that vacuum packs and seals the bag...great for food, requires a knife to get into it if you were to pack any of your bike gear that way. Experience and opinions may vary.

I use one for my phone in rainy weather. The touchscreen works through the bag, so I can fully use the phone without fear of getting it wet.

I carry paper towels, to wipe my glasses with. I also have one for my phone, if need be. I use Zip-Locs, because that's what is available. Bol Rol offers differently colored zippers, but it is hard to find them in the larger sizes.

Is Ziploc the future of road bikes?
Or is it the Silca phone wallet?

A large could fit an I Phone 7.
Or a great deal of chocolate-covered peas. For that extra little kick.

Do you really need genuine Ziploc? I've heard the Chinese knockoffs sold at Dollar Store are just as good. I think they are produced in the same molds.

What colors do they have? I only need small ones so far and I'd like to coordinate with my jersey and/or shoes.

Sometimes that works but sometimes the off-brands don't seal properly. Of course, sometimes the Dollar Store sells name brand products that aren't quite right. We got some Glad wrap and the cutter had been made too child-safe to separate the wrap.

I'll have to check. Certainly the four common ones, though I think I've seen orange as well.

I don't actually own one, but I won't let that keep me from expounding on their shortcomings.

I prefer Zip-Pak® which is superior to ZipLoc®. https://www.zippak.com/about/
I also own stock in the company and the stock does very well.

I've got a Chinese rip-off, Zip-Lock. It's sorta carbon-y.
