I'm looking for a stuff sack approximately 23" long and 4" diameter. Does anyone know of something close to this size? Or a custom order place?

It's for my Klymit pad, which is 23" wide. I have a Thermarest stuff sack, but it's a bit short at 20".

could look here: https://www.campmor.com/c/thermarest-un ... stuff-sack The 11.5L would be the closest. The other option is to talk to local Seamstress shops in your area about making a custom one for you. I know that Markskor does that with his local seamstress in Mammoth.

Guessing your pad didn't come with one for some reason??

It did, but it's too small for what I need. I want to roll the pad and lash my flyrod in it's sock to it. Been using my old Thermarest sack, but just wanted something that fit a bit better. The Thermarest sack is just a bit short.

I'm missing some aspect of this. If the new pad came with a stuff sack that fits, why are you using the old Thermarest sack, If you only want to lash something to the outside? Mini-bungees are perfect for that.

Here's a few links you might check.

Thanks Dave, I emailed heliumhiking about a quote. The stuff sack that came with my Klymit pad is designed for the pad to be folded into a small package. I like to roll it up, strap it vertically outside the pack, and tie my rod-socked flyrod against it. That way I don't need a rod tube and the rod is fairly well protected. The Thermarest sack is just a little short for my 23" pad when rolled. I hope that explains the issue.

Thank you,

John

Well, it looks like Helium Hiking is no longer in business. I tried a phone number I found and it was disconnected. Sent a couple emails, so we'll see. Too bad, it looks like they could make me what I wanted.

Ordered the 23" x 5" pole sack from Simply Light. I assume the open circumference is 10" which makes it about 3.25" diameter, which should fit my inflatable pad quite snugly I hope. Thanks for the information. On my way to being a happy camper.

Just wanted to give a big thanks to Dave Ayers, and of course, Simply Light Designs. I decided to order a 6" x 30" sack with a couple attachment loops sewn to the sack. Total cost was $12 delivered, what a deal. Here's a photo of my setup, ready to attach to my pack. Keep the flyrod nice and safe too. The original sack is shown, not as functional for my needs as my new sack IMO.

There's also enough room to slip the rod inside the sack too, although what I have has always worked (although I don't carry it upside down like that as a rule ).

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

I had Simply Light make a stuff-sack for me once too. They did a good job, no complaints.
