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.

This is my favorite bag. It should be fine for you unless fully loaded. The bag expands to a pretty large size. So if you don't need to pack it full, should be fine

I just went hiking with it this past weekend. At the end of the hike, I was sweating, and felt a lot of sweat on my back. But its a very comfortable pack. However, it lacks space for TONS of camera gear for long trips. So, be warned that if you want this trip to go cross country, its not going to store much more than a camera and a lens in the padded area. In the main compartment, stuff will move around quite a bit. So, plan carefully.

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!

yes, sure. It's a really amzing confortable bag: light but also able to contain number of stuff (and device also).It has a button to close it, an external pocket with zip. I bought it for me and then other 4 as gifts and they all got exciting comments (and I see people using my gifts!!, this means it met their needs). I really recommend it.

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 use it daily for work and have not had any problems as of yet. The pattern doesn't even have any wear to it...but it would also depending on what your carrying. If its overstuffed with books and notebooks, it might be different. Best of luck :-)

It is pretty light weight. It's designed to be light and packable. I don't think it has the support for something that large. You could squeeze it in, but I think it could get damaged. It's more for a day trip where you might carry a bottle of water, some snacks, and a jacket or sweater.

Small will definitely not work. Go for Large or even X-Large since you have long hair. Trust me, it packs very lightly and in no place at all.

The Fanny Pack is great!!! I Love It!!! I haven't had any problems with the zipper coming open accidentally.

One pocket on the outside, NONE on inside........smell? none so far.......it is darn classy looking, not as large as I anticipated but perfect for 2 to 3 day trips...actually, more of an overnight bag......again, classy looking.......worth buying? I think so but also I own 3 bags, 2 are larger for electric shaver, electric hair shaver, brushes/combs...Steve Sawyer

yes. it's plenty large enough. though your question is open ended. if you had like a family of 5 and everyone had a puffy winter jacket then you may be looking tight. it's larger than it looks. the size you get (S or M or L) also changes how large the pack is, so be aware of that. i have the largest and it's fantastic. best part is, there are lots of compression straps so it never feels TOO big

hell yeah !! This bag is wonderful ... My friend uses this in Mumbai ( India ) !! As long as you keep the zipper closed, you are all set

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.

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

It is a pretty big pack. I usually do not wear anything when out riding, the only reason I got this pack is for patrol duties. I was surprised to see how roomie it is, you can store a lot of stuff in there. Downside is the added weight once it's full (not to mention the bladder is pretty big as well so it will add to that). So if you like riding light I would suggest getting something smaller. If you are looking into a lot of storage then this is a good choice. Considering your petite frame, I wouldn't recommend it (unless the main purpose would be a large haul capacity).
