Actually I always liked the look of the BurroPak and wanted one. But
they are very difficult to find. I found something smilar but a little
bigger (but holds more) called the NewtBoot (not the neroprene case but
a nylon one ironically there was two cases with the same name). They
might even be still available from the manufactuer. If you do a search
all the info should come up. If it doesn't I will do some diging in my
archive. A quick search I found these images posted to the list a while
ago. Gives you a indication of what they are.
