I notice I can't find a bare essential lens pouch.
Well here today I'll show you how to make your own and even a brainstorm to create a new side business of DIY kits....... here we go
( I'm happy just having my own )
The most important item is a new wet suit material with a added twist... having fuzzy sided Velcro on one side and normal neoprene on the other !
I got the 4 m
Second most important item is 1 1/2" hook sided Velcro tape
Third is a exacto knife, scissors and measuring tools
Forth a wiliness to DIY
The formula for pi is radius squared times by 3.14159 for how much material you'll need to wrap the hood or lens and add just a touch more
I tested it with up to 15 lbs and it still held for the lens pouch!

Nice DIY. Where did you find the neoprene with hook loop backing?
With most wet suits you can't walk within 5 feet of a piece of Velcro without it sticking to you.
Any good closed cell neoprene will work, the heavier the better.. do a Google search.

Now that it's wrapped, what do you do with it? Can it hang off of a belt, or do you stick it into another bag? If you stick it into another bag, won't the included slip case do?
You can easily hang another piece of Velcro tape to make a belt loop
I made mine for light tranport because there's no one doing this and not at my lost cost.
I just made a similar project, then I made a search over google and found this
Anyhow I would like to share my own neoprene project made out of cheep discount market wetsuit with you so here it is. DIY Lens pouch Lens Coat style lens

Since you have ready made tubes (Arms and legs) it will be a quick and easy project.
