Lightweight focusing cloth for Chamonix 45

You can easily wrap your camera in the eTone cloth, too. I also own the larger L version for 8x10, and can recommend it - the same fabric and style as the M size, only larger, and a good fit for my Chamonix Alpinist.

That's the one I'll probably get for my 8X10. The velcro is simple and easy to use and I might just try to modify my Calumet cloth with some velcro to help keep it in place when it's breezy.
 
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the Zone VI and Calumet dark cloths for their quality and durability. If I were a young person, hiking and camping all over creation with a large format camera, it would be the obvious choice despite the weight.

However, my "few steps from the car" style of old-man shooting does not require that level of sophistication.

That beggars a question: can you wash one of these heavy dark cloths, or dry clean them?

Agreed.
