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.

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.

You possibly could but the material is pretty tight and it may not fold up as easy with two in each. A few more extra but definitely not in all of the pockets. Hope this helps:-)

This would do fine in a backpack, but you'd probably need to wrap it in something (like a layer of bubblewrap) to ensure that it doesn't break. It's pretty thin!

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

Absolutely yes. Also it depends on how you arrange the panels, but there's room for quite a number of elements. You even get to remove all the panels and use it as a regular backpack.

Can the hat be folded/collapsed, e.g., to pack in a suitcase, without destroying it's shape and appearance?

Yes, you can.. after removing the padding @the bottom. it's a convertable backpack !For more info watchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlwMwD87LLQ

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

You can fold it down but the bottom feet are threaded in. Easy to move around but not something I'd try to collapse down into my backpack.

I might be able to carry one of the type that folds up flat, not a full size non foldable one.

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

Not exactly. There isn't any webbing or snaps on it, but there are some grommets you could conceivably put some paracord through to lash it to your pack.
500459
yes, it lays flat as a square, but you can't fold it in half. Not sure it would fit in a backpack. Might be too wide.

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"

I think it should fit inside a hiking backpack or you could at least affix it to the outside. It does fold up nicely.

Not really. I think you could smash it down to pack it but it's not make to collapsible.
