I thought I suggested a dry vinyl bag, but mesh bag or net will work as
well.  I've read about using a net instead of bungy cords on hardshell
kayaks, and the owner told it was very secure, he never lost anything.  He
threaded cords along all 4 sides of the net, so as to make net sides always
pressed against the deck. It may not work that well on a folding kayak. Here
is a vinyl deck bag that I was talking about:

mesh pocket in front, otherwise it's all-vinyl).  Weighs more than a pound.
