Adam,
The fluorescent tube guards you can buy at the hardware store are 2.5 inches inside diameter, and the white PVC caps fit perfect. You may be able to find a rubber cap that fits well too.
For the past few years I've been carrying my little 5-piece pack rod in a telescopic black plastic poster tube (branded MHWay) which I picked up in an art supply shop in central London.
It's 2.5" in diameter, very lightweight, complete with shoulder straps on each end... and now as far as I can tell out of production... which is a shame since I shortened it slightly to suit the 5-piece pack rod, and would love another one or two for other rods which are slightly longer. Fatter tubes around 3.25" are now available, but the slimline strikes me as better: you might want to keep an eye out for something similar?

Theo, I am all set with the transparent tubes JB linked me to.
I have seen the tube you are describing at a art supply store here. Can't remember the name but same configuration. They are also used for blueprints...
Thanks for your suggestion.
Dig your web sites by the way.
Thanks Adam... they keep me amused anyway ;)Originally Posted by adam

Dunno if you have found your solution yet, but what about thin-walled Carbon tubes??? For caps you can have a very light wood pop-in cap turned, or the plastic pop-in caps.
