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.

It fit in my large purse that I took on a plane with me. It should fit in a backpack. I didn't receive a carrying bag.

Sorry. Pushed send too soon. If you freeze the bag ahead then pack it as you head to he airport, you should be fine. Carey it onboard. In 5-6 hours it should remain cool.

Yes it does. It's pretty big and the inner side of the pocket is mesh. I like to store my sleeves in it if I'm insure of what the weather is going to do. The zipper is a little tight so it definitely takes two hands to open and close (one to hold the jacket the other for zipping). Hope that helps!

I find it to be plenty warm enough on it's own for work days (in the car before it warms up, walking to and from the car, etc). For outdoor activities I like to layer with a sweatshirt, fleece or sweater for added warm. The slim profile of the jacket vs the huge puffy down made my decision for me. I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of warmth for the reduced bulk.

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.

Don't pack it into it's own pocket. That's stupid. Just get a compression sack and put multiple things on it if you're looking to save space

I routinely carry three ring binders to work and home when I bike commute and they don't fit in the pack. I use a separate backpack on the days I know I'll be taking work home. A small binder will fit in the extended side pocket but the top will stick out and it definitely won't zip closed.

Yes. Its a day pack and can easily handle a jacket, snacks and other items for a full day of activity. Very comfortable and well made pack.

It is packable. It fits perfectly into the middle back pocket of a jersey, I carry with it every time there is chance of rain.

I think the bag is big enough and you can reach everything much faster because the zipper goes all the way down. I can fit everything I need in there and use it as my purse to because I don´t want to always carry to bags.

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.

Hey ggkitty, do you mind telling me how this bag worked out for you? I also want it to carry around my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2012 edition. It will also have the official case but shouldn't be much bigger. Does your tablet fit with maybe some room to spare? Thank you!

It's pretty small, good for a day pack. You'd be pushing it to pack enough in it for an overnight trip.

The pocket is pretty dang big, I image you could easily get any multi-tool, including the New Wave in there. There will probably room for a fire steel as well; Has a very secure Velcro strap that will keep it in there with no worries. Cheers!

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.

Yes, I pack a camera case that holds a full frame camera and a couple of lenses and still have room for light coat, rain coat, and snacks. These are compressible small coats but the compartments are versatile enough to handle what you are talking about. It has been more than enough for day hikes.
