    Not really backpacking gear but might be support equipment?  Wife and I are always throwing our muddy hiking poles into hatch of my car.  I have been putting old socks over the tips.  Had lots of scraps of some heavy (gasp) vinyl coated nylon from making kayak covers.  Sewed up some sleeves with a funnel top to slide poles into.  Added some velcro tabs to keep from sliding off and a loop to grab onto.  Real handy.  Real simple.  Way better than the socks.  Might make some extras and give as gifts to hiking friends.  Needs about 13″ x 16″ of fabric.  Good use for fabric scraps.
