Gear question: Protecting Zepplin and shock mount while backpacking

["geopaul7" geopaul7]

I have a Sennheiser zeppelin for my stereo MS mic, and a white furry coat (=
whatever it is
called).  Am taking this backpacking, with Sound Devices MP-2 mixer preamp,=
 and other
gear (tipod, cables, recording device).  The shock mount for the mic inside=
 the zeppelin is
somewhat delicate, and could get squashed, or more accurately the plastic c=
ould get
broken (has happened once and has been super glued already).

I would like to construct a case or protective device for the zeppelin unit=
 for the many
miles of hiking in between recording sessions.  Of course I threw away the =
box.

Any ideas or best practices?  What do people do that take this kind of gear=
 on long
backpacks?  Do they not take wind protection? Do they construct cannisters =
or protective
triangles?

Or am I pushing the state of the art?  Perhaps I will just put it in the ba=
ckpack.  Space and
weight are of course limited.

Thanks for any advice.
