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

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.

Oh yes, and on top of that you'll also be able to fit a little more. The things I've been able to pack in are both my gloves, heavy jacket, a book, ownersmanual/title, allen wrench set, extra straps, phone, kickstand slide plate, maps and water bottle. It is really sturdy and a good product you just have to play around with the straps.

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 would think so. I was able to fold my jacket in it with ease. I had my phone and small camera in the outer pockets along with a small wallet. I didn't have to use the strap either it stayed on with just the magnets even at 70mph when I was on the interstate for a short period. So far I'm very pleased with it. I did cut some of the material from the inside of my small pocket where my zipper was snagging you just have to be careful to not cut into the piping and stitching.

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

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.

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

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 don't pack it. It has a loop with a snap on it on the top, I connect it to my purse or carry-on. That way I don't have to dig through stuff to get to it.

I carry it in my front pocket with the strap dangling out. This works particularly well with slippery backpacking clothes, but also with khakis. Tight jeans not advised, although it slides into the back pocket of those pretty well.

I've taken it on an airplane many times as a personal item. No questions asked. Just don't take a purse. Put the purse IN the backpack. In other words, you can have a carry on AND this backpack, no problems :-)

Hey,...well,..I can tell you this,..it's a decent size, it's a normal back pack, not like the camera bag I use to have. I can carry everything in it, which is my full size camera, 3 lenses, all my filters, charging gear and my smaller camera that would normally go in my pocket and that's just the main area, there are tons of pockets and zipper areas for more things, even a full size compartment for a computer/tablet to slide in (and a raincoat on the bottom zipped up). The only problem I had was one of the zipper pulls came off right away, but that's an easy fix. :-)

Oh yeah. This coat folds/wads up pretty tightly. I'm sure you could fit it in a Jersey back pocket. For reference, I can fit mine into a regular Ziplock sandwich bag, to give you an idea. It's very packable.

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

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.
