Crampon storage

What's the best pocket for storing my Grivel g20 crampons. I wish they came with a case like Petzl. Currently they threaten to puncture my innocent gear stores. Also, I want something I would use in a pack.. So lightweight/durable/ease of use is important. That said, low cost would be nice. Homemade ideas? -Thanks

This is pretty much exactly what you desire for $20. Sold out on BD’s website, but available from other retailers 

cheaper and better option. been storing my crampons in one of these sacks for years:

I kept the boxes they came in for at-home storage. For the ones bought used, I used some random cardboard boxes. 

When packed I keep them on the outside of my pack. They can't puncture anything or get my stuff wet. And no wasted weight for an extra sack. 

I just hang the sharp stuff on the wall.  When not on the wall, they are strapped on back or in the crampon pocket on my ice climbing pack, or on my feet.  

This is what I needed. Thanks everyone

I’ve also heard of people using a 2 liter soda bottle with the top cut off. I haven’t tried this, but it sounds cheap. 

Tyvek postage envelope. They are free at the PO and pretty puncture resistant. Eventually it’ll wear out but I’ve got a season of light-moderate use out of mine.

What is Tyvek? And damn, y’all are lucky to have free envelopes at the post office! For those g20s, which don’t collapse as nicely as other pons, I put them inside the pack, wrapped/sandwiched around a spare set of gloves and picked carefully so as not to be jangling around. 

I just put some of those crampon protectors on them and then put them in whatever pocket I have that fits them. My main ones are currently in an old Petzl harness bag, my backup/borrowers are in a Grivel crampon case without the protectors on them. Works fine for home storage. When I'm out in the mountains I either put them on the outside of the pack with the protectors on them, or inside in the lightweight bag if that fits. Depends on the pack really. 

If you insist on taking some kind of pouch/bag I would go for this https://www.petzl.com/INT/en/Sport/Crampons/ULTRALIGHT-pouch

IMHO the best option (easy access + lighter + save space inside the pack + nothing wet inside) is to strap it outside your backpack

I had them hanging in a gear "shrine" within my house. Now it's van time, so they live in my bench seat storage, crammed between gore-tex, boots, ect. I like the postage pouch idea for storing the crampons inside the van as well as close to my torso inside a pack the day or two approach to a climb. (Keep the heavy things tight to the body) Switching to outside of pack, no cover, for day/s they are to be used. Details... but I'm from MN, so not much firsthand mountaineering/alpine/expedition experience.

We have free envelopes, you have free health care and university.  I'd say that's about equal!
(Tyvek is a material used mostly as a moisture barrier in home building. it's waterproof and fairly tear/puncture resistant.  It's what the flexible FedEx envelopes are made from. Ultralight backpackers use it for ground cloths and even tarps/shelters.)

I am not sure how long your crampons are, but I have a few of these zippered pouches:

The Ultra 200 is bomber. The outside is 100% woven Dyneema. Very light, waterproof  and cheap (except for Tyvek).

I really like these. altogear.com/collections/fr…
