I got a smaller nylon dark cloth from B&H made by Kalt. as I recall it was around $25 US and was about 3 feet square! It blew away in the wind and I now use an double thick black nylon changing bag which is still light weight and folds up nicely.

Try Blackjacket or BTZS.

I can recommend the BTZS too. I have a 5x4 and a 10x8 version, both good to use.

The lightest one you'll likely ever find is the smaller Ebony "cloth". You can fold it up and put it in your pants pocket like a handkerchief.

Cheers, Steve

I use an extra large t-shirt that cost almost nothing and it is very light.

I looked in my closet and found an older black large T-shirt. It has a few buttons part way down the front. Just undo a few buttons to make the neck the right size for the rear of your camera and you're good. Almost free!

Agree! Mine's an XXL (so am I), black, $3 at Wally World. Packs small, works fine. Doesn't want to blow away as easily.

Lightweight, weather-resistant, tough with no lint: there's a type of tyvek truckers use to weatherproof load which is black one side and white on the other. When they're
done with it, it either gets thrown away or recycled. Check with a local lumberyard.
Just a tiny bit of a crinkly sound. Cuts with scissors.
