Who makes ultralight, slippery lens pouches for *inside* your bag?

I'd like to find various pouches for my lenses while they are inside my bag so I can grab the top of the pouch to pull out the lens (my bag is narrow and deep). I'm thinking of something super thin and slippery like what ties and scarves are made out of... with a drawstring... what is that, nylon? You know... silky without being silk. This would also help keep the lint from my bag off the lenses...

Who makes these? Do I have to start chugging Crown Royal just to get the bags? :)

if you are looking for just a bag with a drawstring to put them in and not "protection", then check places like REI for stuff sacks. They come in all sizes.

It looks like this might be perfect:

However, finding something even more generic without paying a premium for the name is better still. I'll check these out at my local REI...

Yep, not looking for any padding... room is scarce inside. :)

Socks could work... like nylon dress socks (I have zero currently!) but I was hoping the lens would be easy to get in and out. The pouches I linked to at REI are what I was thinking although I'm going to keep searching for a cheaper alternative.

Sorry, I thought this would be a normal request. I guess most everyone is probably fine with just having their lenses nekkid with padding all around, but like I said earlier, a pouch lets me grab them and pull them out quickly and easily (like a lens with a handle, if you will). It also lets me get a good grip on the lens to remove it from the pouch once it's out of my camera bag. My camera bag is deep and narrow and if I go to quickly pull out a lens, I can see myself flipping it right out onto the ground. ouch!

If your bag really makes it that difficult for you to get at your gear, and you're afraid you won't be able to take it out safely without an extra layer of something to grab hold of (and have to take off and put on every time you get something), dare I suggest that maybe you should look at a different bag instead?

Alas, as you know from stuffing trolls, the perfect bag doesn't exist...
Besides, I like my bag. :p

I've been looking for the same thing as the OP and all I've found is the Giottos.... is there anything cheaper out there without having to make my own? Or, alternately, if anyone has the giottos one, was it worth it? Well made?

I don't want any padding, don't want to give up space. Just want it for a couple of my sigma lenses because that terrible finish scratches every time they rub up against a flash or a lens. This is in a domke bag, so they're just kinda stacked in there sometimes... if they had their own compartments I wouldn't even worry. I'm not worried at all about the lenses getting damaged from moving around a little in the bag, just worried about the finish getting all scratched and flaky like one of my sigmas already is....
