                              an open peripheral frame member formed of rigid rod portions;                        
                              hinge means secured to the planar surface and enclosing one                          
                said portion of the frame member such that said frame member pivots about                          
                the hinge means from an open position to a closed position, engaged with                           
                the planar surface;                                                                                
                              securing means to mate with a portion of the frame member so                         
                as to releasably secure the frame member against the planar surface when                           
                engaged therewith; and                                                                             
                              a breathable flexible cover member secured to the open frame                         
                member so as to form an enclosing volume between the cover member and                              
                the planar surface, wherein                                                                        
                              said generally planar surface is oriented such that the rack                         
                system extends and depends from said generally planar surface, and                                 
                              said breathable flexible cover abuts against and supports said                       
                bulky items to retain said bulky items within said enclosing volume when in                        
                said closed position.                                                                              
                12. A breathable storage rack, comprising:                                                         
                              a frame member pivotally secured to a side of a generally                            
                vertical surface or the underside of a generally horizontal surface to pivot                       
                from an open position to a closed position;                                                        
                              a breathable cover attached to said frame member to form, with                       
                said frame member and said surface, an enclosed space within which an                              
                object may be stored when said frame member is in the closed position, said                        
                object being cradled in and supported by said breathable cover; and                                
                              releasable catch means for securing said frame member in the                         
                       closed position.
