Does this jacket pack well? Going to LA soon, and I want something I can carry in my purse and pull out when necessary.

Yes it's very lightweight so you can fold to make it fit nicely in a purse, bit a big purse though.

Very light, could pack in a "travel-purse" friendly roll without any issues..

The Columbia Women's Splash a Little Jacket is thin, comfortable, and stylish. However, you will need a medium size purse (not very small) to fully accommodate it. Living in Houston, TX, wear this jacket almost constantly. If you decide to buy it, you should be happy.

Jacket packs very well; non-wrinkle, not heavy, great hood. a bit bulky for a purse, unless you have a big satchel and will roll the jacket.

Thanks! Trying to consolidate what I carry. That would be no good if I lost it altogether so a pouch would be best. Thanks for your answer!

Most definitely. I don't like to take a big bag with me when I go out. I just slip in some cash, credit card DL and off I go. Wish I had seen it sooner. Hope this helps.

I think this bag would be big enough. It is on the bigger side. I am an over-packer and this bag worked just fine for me :) Lots of pockets too!

I travel and have no problem with it. It is small enough to slide in the side of your purse/bag. The ones that roll up (soft silicone), I found do not work as well when you use them.

yes! for sure, I used it last month when I traveled to hold my jacket, water bottle, papers, wallet, snacks, etc..

I would have to say it depends on if you plan on carrying it around from place to place where you would need more protection or not. I have the software cover to protect it from dust and scratches while using it. I don't carry it around a lot like maybe in a book bag or a tote bag etc. ... hope this helps

As far as carrying your gear and packing out game you will be fine the only issue is if there is rain the pack will probably leak around the zippers so pack things you want to stay dry in ziplock bags. Good hunting.

It's not designed to pack into one of its own pockets. I've never tried to cram it into another jacket pocket but I bet it wouldn't work very well because it does take up a lot of space in my pack.

I live in Portland, Oregon, which is famous for it's rain. I think it's fantastic because it's pretty water resistant... until you pull out the rain cover which is stored underneath the bag, and slip it over the bag. This effectively envelops the bag in a rain jacket. Fantastic! It's also a very good looking and comfortable bag. One of my best buys ever!

Yes, it is. It is about the size of a small beach tote. To give you an idea, I carry two 32 oz bottles of water, lunch, cosmetic bag, two fold-up grocery bag, and snacks and I still have room. I sewed a pocket on one side to carry my file folders, phone charger, pens, & sunglasses. I love this bag. So, it is big enough to take to the grocery store for dinner. I only use it on my shoulder when it is raining so my contents stay dry. Oh yea! It is made of a tough canvas! This won't tear easily.

Though it does not zip, I have not had an issue with it falling out. I also carry it in my tote and it's always intact when I take it out. Hope this helps.

I carry a 3x5 phone in the back pocket, and a 5x7 tablet in the large pouch. I have yet to use all the pockets, LOL, and keep coming up with creative uses for the bag, and look forward to an all-in-one for travel. I plan to buy another color, too.

I carried it up a steep hill when we used it and it was light enough to carry in the bag it came in that way. Not sure how well it'd be in a backpack but you could probably do it though it might be awkward. I was surprised at how roomy it was with 2 people yet packed down rather small. It has several internal pockets inside too which was really nice since we camped out in the pouring rain and I was worried about things getting wet. With that said, we were very dry during the night :)

It's not too bad. I used this bag for my trip to Japan. The first few days it's Great. I think it's just the matter of how much weight you put on your shoulder each day. After about 3-4 days. I pretty much gave up on bringing it. Keep in mind though that me and my friends are walking around Japan from 10 AM to almost 10-11 PM at night with that bag on as we take pictures most of the time. I still use it for Traveling. it fits under the airplane seats pretty well. I pretty much have my camera and lots of personal items. the extra two slots for lenses i just use it for chargers and such since i have only one lense. I hope that helps.^^ It's not too bad.
