Light/compact pouch or EVA case for Tubolito?

I just picked up a couple Tubolitos so I'm not carrying full weight 29er tubes all the time. They seem to need about 10cm x 7cm x ~2cm space the way that they're folded. Currently I'm packing them in triple ziploc bags for protection but it would be nice to maybe have something a little more durable without adding much weight or bulk.

Any ideas on what would work? I spent a lot of time last night trying to figure this out and didn't find anything particularly compelling.

I have this mounted on my Spur with a Tubolight and a bunch of other stuff too:

B-RAD TekLite Roll-Top Bag 0.6L – Wolf Tooth Components

Wolf Tooth makes some incredibly cool products.

That is very cool.

That said, mea culpa, I should have been clearer that I'm looking for something as minimal as possible to fit inside a hip pack or the bottom of a hydration pack. Something like a really tiny packing cube.

I figure there must be some folks who hit on something that nails a good balance of tiny size, very light weight, and a little bit of protection from abrasion and cuts that could happen in a pack.

Tube Tarp or maybe Tulbag could be an option?

The irony that you need a thin protective bag for a tube that is supposed to take the beating of being inside a mountain bike tire is not lost on me...

Used coffee bean bags are cheap (included with your coffee beans

), compact, waterproof, and very durable. It'll protect your tube until you need it, whether on your frame or in your pack.

Cut and tape a little custom pouch or wrap from tyvek (you can get it from certain usps envelopes), that stuff is really tough for its weight.

This was made just for you: biketubebrand.com/accessories/tubesock

Or cutting a corner out of a Tyvek mailing envelope might be lighter, and durable though a little less protective.

I just keep it in the little plastic zip loc bag it comes in and throw it in my pocket.

Some very promising recommendations thanks

For now, going to experiment with Tubesocks, an XS Eagle Creek Pack-It bag, and will keep an eye open for a Tyvek mailer.
