'Compact' Jumper Cables for C4?

I'm like to carry jumpers in most of my cars along w/ a few minimal tools. I can't find any jumper cables packaged small enough to fit in the small area provided on a late C4 - the small compartment behind the passenger seat for example...

Anybody know of any options for compactly stored jumpers?

thanks!

If I felt I had to carry a set I'd try bagging them as small as possible and dropping them in front of the right front wheel by the overflow tank.

I believe there might be enough room there on the 91+ body style.

I bag mine small and store behind the driver's seat. I use wire twisties to keep them in a small loop. Works great.

I'm short so I never have the seat all the way to the back.

I have a small briefcase-sized bag that has all sorts of roadside emergency stuff in it, and it fits perfectly behind the driver's seat, so doesn't take up any room at all.
