Mountain Ops Tac Pac replacement?

[Chris Kantarjiev K6DBG]

I've been moving my K2 around a bunch over the past few months, and find myself
wishing that I had a decent fitted bag for it (I end up wrapping it in bubble
wrap). I've heard about the TacPac, I know that they're no longer made (despite
assurances that the company was being sold to someone who would carry on).

Do you have a favorite bag for carrying your K2 and a few accessories (like a
set of Palm Mini paddles and some cable, maybe a small PS)? I need something
that will protect it in the car, not from airline luggage gorillas.

The Western Pack case shown at
http://westerncasecompany.com/html/camerabags.html - the small "Weekender" -
seems about the right size, but perhaps somewhat too big.

A food box and lid, ie very large sandwich box.  Adds hardly any weight but
protects very well inside a shoulder bag.

I use the Bail Out Bag 5 from http://countycomm.com/BAILOUTBAGGEN5.htm

It is $40 and comes in black (which I have) and green (which they don't
have).

The side pocket holds a soft plastic soap dish into which I can fit a
Palm Paddle.  The lower horizontal zippered pocket is good for DC
cables.  The front pockets are good for mics.  The fat side pocket holds
logbooks and pens and would probably also fit a Gamma HPS1a power
supply.   It also has pockets good for 9V batteries, flashlights,
headphones, etc.

The K2 and a folding solar panel fits inside.  A hard cover for the
front of the K2 would be a nice option, just as it would be for the
other Elecraft rigs.

The K3 does not fit.
