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.

Yes, it packs into the pocket. It even has a soft side to use as a mini pillow. Awesome jacket!

You have more than enough room in large pack. I don't havea smaller oneto compare it to. So if your going to carry a lot of stuff id say large is way to go.

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.

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 think the 10L is fine assuming your not packing winter gear like a bulky sweater, and even then it would hold all of your gear. I was able to put in two larger beach towels, shirt, shorts and a little pouch with phone, sunscreen, walket.

I carry a light weight rain/wind jacket. I roll it up then weave it into the criss-crossed straps vertically on one side. I have at times rolled a sweatshirt up also and weaved it into the other side. They both stay put through several hours of hiking.

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

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 tend to carry it that way (in left front pocket of jeans/pants) and no problem at all noticed yet. It certainly slips in and out easily without catching or dragging on anything. How that helps you.

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 am not a woman, however, the nice thing about this pack is that you are able to adjust the location of the chest straps thanks to their nifty clip system. I didn't have a chance to see this bag in person, but I did a lot of research and watching a video review helped influence my decision. Here's a really solid review that might be useful. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yX_Fj1agAGM Hope this helps!

I have had my tote since last October and although I don't haul mine around every day, I don't believe you would pack yours as heavy as I usually have mine and I have had no problem with mine at all. It seems to be made very well and if I decide to purchase another one, I will definitely go with another one of these! Plus, go to the company's website and look for information on their return/replace policies - I'd be willing to bet that they have everything covered as all of the crafting items that we cart around with us are quite heavy! I even stack other binders on top of this one and put the straps over the handle so I don't have to carry those either! I don't think you would be disappointed!!

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.

Itll depend on how you pack for those three days. if youre a light packer 3days of clothes would be just fine. Had a cold dayhike where we eventually stashed 2 sweaters,2 rain jackets, a 3L camelback, rope, water bottle, granola, cliff bars and bear spray. We still had room for more and it was comfortable to carry

Definitely. My wife has been using this for 3 months and carries it in her purse. No issues with that.

Yes. I wore this in New Orleans and had room for my .38, wallet, lipstick, cell phone and camera. Loved it.
