Can I fold it or wrap around the inside of the pack to act as it's internal structure of my backpack?

It's a soft pad, not really designed to provide structural support. You could put it inside your pack, but if you pack your backpack like I do, you're liable to damage it trying to get it in with all your other gear.

You might be able to do that if your backpack is large enough to fit it in. It might take up more room than you think. It will roll up to about 8 inches or so and you could fasten it to the top of your backpack with some string, small bunji cords or leather shoe laces etc. that way you will have room at the bottom of your backpack for the sleeping bag. It is fairly light and won't interfere with the stuff inside your bp.

Hi, it is pretty bulky and I don't think you can. You may damage it... You can roll it and hang it outside the pack !One of my friends has a super nice one very flexible it is more like "memory foam" type. But I have no clue of the brand.. sorry.Good luck and have fun on your trip.

its pretty sturdy, but the mat quite wide. You would have to have a tall duffle (1 compartment) style backpack to accomodate it.

Yes, you could do that but it will take up a LOT of space. If you have a large pack and a short pad it may work somewhat but you will have to repack every time you use it. I tries it with my long pad and it took up too much space.

I usually hike with mine strapped to the outside of the pack. But when I fly with my gear, I loosely roll this pad, put it in my backpack, and pack my things in the middle of the roll. My pack has an internal frame, so I'm not doing this for structure, just to keep things compact in the airplane. But it is fairly rigid when it is rolled. I think it could work as structure if you had a light pack. It wouldn't be particularly well fitted to the curve of your back, but maybe you don't care about that if your pack is light enough. It does take up a lot of space when it's rolled. Rolling it loosely and packing things inside it gives you a little more useful space, as well as providing better structure.

You could fold it. I think it would be better to roll it. Might leave a permanent crease if you fold it. It does not come with a zipper pack. It is nice, but I don't believe it is quite 2"

Yes, if that's how you want to pack it. Or fold, roll and pack in an backpack/stuff sack. I am very happy with this jacket and Marmot makes good stuff. You may want to consider the Marmot Aegis as well. Enjoy!

Yes you can, it makes it a little longer folded up, but is still very compact.

Yep you can fold it; tried it just now. The adapters do stick out a little, but they don't interfere with the fold at all.

Not unless you can fold it in half ;-)The inside demensions are more like a moderate sized lunch box and good for carying lots of little thing but poor for caring anything bigish. Even something like a hard back library book is beyond its capacity w/o really bulging the sides and risking the zippers. There are other bags better for a laptop.

I don't carry it around because of its awkward shape. Its so light you certainly could, but awkward when I typically have my laptop, a gym bag, and a book bag. If your backpack is not stuffed you could probably do it!The back piece easily cones off which would make it less bulky for transport.

No - as mentioned the build quality is really poor. If you try and stuff this backpack, it will tear.

I think I was able to by folding it inside out. I have since moved onto a different case since I did not like the fact that I couldn't take the phone out of the case easily when I needed to. Also ghe thin strap broke.

This is easier to do than to describe how to do it. Basically you fold it in half around itself. You end up with two hoops that will fit into the bag.

There is a folded lip at the front to catch the lock. The folder will fit inside without being bent. However, because of the folded lip you have to initially bend the folder to put it in.

I was able to do that with mine..it was a little tricky but I found an area on my pack and play where I could attach it.

Tip... just stuff the tent and fly right into your backpack. There is no need to try and fold it up and fit it back into the nylon bag they give you. It will fit just about anywhere this way. Slip the poles in your pack or attach to the outside. This saves lots of time when packing camp.

Yes, you could make it to fold, like say, packing it in a suitcase. You probably could roll it, too, to compact it.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. The Osprey has an airscape design for the back which gives the pack a kinda seemeless fit with the spine, bending, or folding it might damage it.

Nope, unless you can rig it some way. It has some loops and stuff. Other wise a good pack.

Yes. With a little wiggle room so if you wanted to wrap a small pack towel or something with it you could.
