But it is worthwhile. The best of the bags in my opinion are those by Long Haul Products, which is an off shoot of the Klepper Repair Service. The bags are intended for use as cockpit bags inside Kleppers and other foldables. There are grommets in each corner as well as webbing straps in the top two corners with snap buckles. It is made of heavy duty hypalon, arguably the strongest of materials better than anything nylon that is coated. It holds an amazing amount. I use mine mainly in my K-light and Nautiraid single between my legs as I do not like having anything beyond pump and paddlefloat on deck. But I do move it to the deck if loaded with camping gear and things in the cockpit. Costs around $85. There are now two different sizes.
