I have yet to find much that would be appropriate for a small vessel like a kayak. It has to be two parts unless you want the bright white light shining in your eyes. One of the great things about kayaking at night is getting light adapted and seeing things under starlight. Here is something interesting for enclosing the battery. https://www.ebay.com/itm/112506110668 It is way larger than what I need, but can be folded over I think. Folding it twice it is small enough. They don't say what it is made of. One way to find out. Thanks for discussing this. I don't think I would have found this bag if I weren't talking to you. The bag will be much better than the other two approaches I found. But then there is the question of how good the bag will be. It's cheap enough I might just do the test you suggested. -- Rick C Viewed the eclipse at Wintercrest Farms, on the centerline of totality since 1998
