The Floating Hide Classic is shipped with a bag to carry the Hide in. This is not much bigger than a sports bag. The bag is larger than you need for the Floating Hide itself and leaves room for extra clothing, a pump, and other stuff. If size matters you can use the pump to extract all the air from the hull and you will end up with a very small package that fits in a suitcase or backpack. The complete kit weighs less than 6.5 kg The floating Hide II is even compact and weighs less - just 5.3 packed in a small bagasy to carry and take it with you on the plane. That unique opportunities for your photographic ambitions!
