Hope someone can help. I'm looking for a soft stuff bag for a camera with a zoom lens. Like any other stuff bag, but with a fleece or padded lining, preferably waterproof.  
I want to be able to stuff my DSLR with 400mm lens into the bag, and then I can stick that in my climbing/trekking rucksack.

Google ain't helping me, maybe because I don't know what to search for.

Ta.

Could you get one of those little “trekking” microfibre towels, wrap the camera in that and chuck it in a thin “dry bag”? Or even cut a sleeve off a cheap/old fleece and use that as your packaging?

There are some fleece pouches but not sure they are up to much. If you search for drawstring camera bag/pouch will find some.

All the ones I know of are inflexible outers. f I wanted this sort of bag I would take Blue Stragglers approach and get a dry bag and then make an inner lining out of a fleece/towel.

Could even fix the towel (or whatever cutoff fleece; maybe even a double folded cutoff from a thin fleece blanket) properly as a liner for the dry bag, by gluing or (compromising waterproofness unless you then apply seam sealant but this puts us into the realm of faff) sewing

I notice that the classic 'Camera Care Systems' cases now seem to be available again. Maybe one of those would help? See http://www.ccscentre.co.uk/

CCS cases were excellent - one protected a hefty SLR when it went for a tumble down the scree slopes in a thunderstorm at Wintour's Leap. 

"Where's my camera gone?"

"Oh, is that what it was. It's somewhere at the bottom of the scree slope...."

PS. Are you sure they're resurrected? - I think that's still the old website and long dead.

The next best thing might be Crumpler

Yes. I had similar experiences with mine.

No, I'm not. I just went for a web search and found that site, but I think you're right.

There are plenty of of CCS bags on Ebay. I don't know if they are genuine ones but they look OK.  Worth having a look at with a bit of caveat emptor, perhaps.

I have used an Exped Crush drybag for about 10 years, could fit a small-ish DSLR easily if you can find the right size. Normal Exped drybag, but with a dense 4mm foam inner layer with a velcro closure on it. Maybe not as padded as a CCS bag but it's more waterproof/dustproof.
