A compactly foldable storage pouch includes a pair of resilient wire loops, a front fabric panel disposed over and covering the interior portion of the first wire loop, a rear fabric panel disposed over and covering the interior portion of the second wire loop, at least one sidewall fabric panel joining the wire loops, the side fabric panel circumscribing at least a portion of the periphery of the wire loops and defining an opening between the front and rear fabric panels and the opposing lateral ends of the sidewall fabric panel and a plurality of removeable lateral cross-members are positionable between the pair of wire loops to maintain the foldable pouch in an expanded configuration. Upon removal of the cross-members, adjacent wire loops can be twisted into a figure-8 configuration and folded over on itself to assume a compact, generally circular flat configuration for packaging, shipment and eventual storage by the user.

1. A foldable collapsible storage pouch comprising: a pair of flexible loops;each flexible loop having a web of fabric of predetermined shape secured about its periphery to the loop to define, respectively, front and rear panels;a sidewall formed of a web of fabric having opposing longitudinal edges
1. A foldable collapsible storage pouch comprising: a pair of flexible loops;each flexible loop having a web of fabric of predetermined shape secured about its periphery to the loop to define, respectively, front and rear panels;a sidewall formed of a web of fabric having opposing longitudinal edges and opposing transverse ends, each of the longitudinal edges being secured to and circumscribing a corresponding portion of the periphery of the front and rear panels, the opposing transverse ends of the fabric sidewall positioned to define an opening for accessing an interior space between the front and rear panels and the sidewall;a plurality of spaced-apart transverse tubular channels joined to a surface of the sidewall and extending between the front and rear panels;a plurality of rigid cross-members, each cross-member configured and dimensioned to be inserted and contained in one of the plurality of transverse channels to maintain the foldable pouch in an expanded configuration; andwherein the flexible loops are aligned with each other when the plurality of cross-members are removed from the transverse channels and foldable pouch is in a collapsed configuration. 2. The foldable pouch of claim 1, wherein the front and rear panels are formed from a water-permeable mesh fabric. 3. The foldable pouch of claim 1, wherein the sidewall is a water-resistant fabric. 4. The foldable pouch of claim 1, wherein the transverse channels are configured to maintain the removable cross-member in the channel. 5. The foldable pouch of claim 1, wherein the flexible loops are fabricated from stainless steel. 6. The foldable pouch of claim 1, wherein the flexible loops are generally rectangular in shape. 7. The foldable pouch of claim 6, wherein opposing end portions of the pair of flexible loops between top and bottom portions are curvilinear. 8. The foldable pouch of claim 1, wherein the sidewall comprises a pair of opposing sidewall portions, each of the pair of sidewall portions having an upper end defining one side of the opening. 9. The foldable pouch of claim 8, wherein the sidewall further comprises an intermediate bottom portion having opposing lateral ends extending between the front and rear panels, each lateral end of the bottom portion being joined to an adjacent lateral lower end of one of the opposing sidewall portions. 10. The foldable pouch of claim 8, wherein the opening is defined between opposing top portions of the pair of flexible loops and the upper ends of the pair of opposing sidewall portions. 11. The foldable pouch of claim 9, wherein the front and rear fabric panels and the bottom portion are fabricated from a water-permeable mesh material, and the pair of sidewall portions are fabricated from a water-impermeable material. 12. The foldable pouch of claim 9, wherein a first pair of spaced-apart transverse tubular channels are formed in the bottom portion and a second pair of spaced-apart transverse tubular channels are formed laterally along the upper ends of the opposing sidewall portions, the first and second pair of spaced-apart transverse tubular channels being configured to removably receive the cross-members. 13. The foldable pouch of claim 12, wherein one end of the first and second pair of spaced-apart transverse tubular channels is closed and the opposing end of the first and second pair of spaced-apart transverse tubular channels includes a first channel fastener for selectively opening and closing the channels to permit insertion and removal of the cross-members. 14. The foldable pouch of claim 13, wherein the first channel fastener is a hook-and-loop fastener. 15. The foldable pouch of claim 1, wherein the cross-members are fabricated from a water-resistant material. 16. The foldable pouch of claim 1, further comprising one or more closures for closing the opening. 17. The foldable pouch of claim 16, wherein the one or more closures comprise at least one of a strap and a flap cover. 18. The foldable pouch of claim 1, further comprising one or more supports for attaching the foldable pouch to a supporting structure. 19. The foldable pouch of claim 18, wherein the one or more supports comprises at least one hook coupled to one of the flexible loops. 20. The foldable pouch of claim 19, wherein the at least one hook is coupled to the flexible loop by an intermediate flexible strap. 21. The foldable pouch of claim 1, which in the collapsed configuration with the cross-members removed from between the pair of flexible loops, the aligned pair of flexible loops are twistable to a figure-eight configuration and foldable over each other to assume a compact generally circular flat configuration.
