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.

Yes, easily. I've done it. This backpack is smaller than the maximum size allowed. You won't have a problem

I tried to fold it along the original lines smoothing the material, and then turned the pocket inside out over the folded backpack material....still a little lumpy but very packable, which is what I wanted.

Yes. The big front section zips and folds down, and there is a mesh panel behind that that zips in half to access the main compartment.The "top" and "front" access points do not connect like in a travel pack.FWIW, I only use the top opening and have never used this front access part

It folds like an accordian. I use it as back support for my ultralight pack.

The dimensions were accurate. Measure in your car to see if it fits. Since it is an innerspring, you will not be able to fold it. I haven't carried it anywhere, but it is nicer than being on that hard bottom of the pack and play.

It does not fold completely flat. Would probably take up more room in your backpack than you would want.

You should be able to pack it inside a backpack. It's 21" long and 4" in diameter. It is rigid because of the poles so it wouldn't be very comfortable in a frameless pack. It would be better to lash it on the outside of you backpack.

I have never tried to do this, but if you folded it lengthwise, you probably could. It would be tricky to do though and you would probably need help to compress and role at the same time.

Hi there!Sure. You can. I even tried once to use it this way. Unfortunately I didn't like it. Mostly because the bag kept falling to the lowest point, just under my right arm. Which was quite annoying, because it kept hindering the swing of my arm. Maybe I should had fastened the belt a more. Regardless of that, that bag is really discrete and slim. Unless you run with a really tight shirt, you can place the bag under it, and no one will know you are using this pack. It really is that small. I usually use it this way, under my t-shirt.

yes there is a cheap crappy metal frame inside the pack it can be removed to make the bag more flexible and a little lighter.

well, it is a blanket, the edges do not xip together - so i suppose you vould pull it into the bag sith you bt i do not know how you would get it to stay where you want. as far as indulation it would work fine

Not really. There are a couple of zippered pockets, but it would not fit easily and would make it fold up very bulky.

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.

Yes. as the straps are pretty long and not super sturdy. You might do better to have the pack infront so you can manage the weight if something goes wrong wit hthe straps.

The only way you could do this, is if you fold them in half. The pockets are the size of CD/DVDs.

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