How do i fold hood so it does not hang down in back? Also no directions for folding into itself for packing. Need directions.

As for the hood. There is Velcro at the base of the neck that opens a flap, all you do is roll up the hood and tuck it under, it kind of makes it look like a padded neck. I've never really folded it into itself because it so thin I just fold it normally. Hope that helps!

Honestly, I never gave it a thought. When not in use , I hang it on a hanger with my other coats. When I wear it, the hood does hang on the back. I brought it along on a cruise and I folded it like I would a long sleeve shirt, hood on the middle , sleeves across. It does not crease so I never considered it a problem. There is a velcro strip on the hood , you can roll it and tuck it in as well.

You fold it into the collar. In fact you can roll the entire jacket into the collar for packing although I haven't been able to make it as small as it was originally.

You roll the hood into the collar and fasten it with the Velcro. I just fold it and it fits in a small space for me. The material is so thin. I recently took mine to Hawaii and wore it almost every day. It is rain resistant but not rain repellant.

Roll the hood into itself and velcro it together in 3 plces. I did not think the jacket itself rolled up for packing. I love this jacket. Have had it for several years.

Honestly (and I apologize, I know this isn't going to be much help...) it's usually an experiment to figure it out. We lay it on its side (one door and about four panels touching the ground) and collapse the sides until we find one that naturally collapses. From there, it's kind of like folding a map--we'll fold a side in, and if it doesn't feel like it's collapsing naturally, we'll unfold and try another side. I know this sounds tedious, and I think it took us about 5 - 10 minutes the first time, but after you get it once or twice it just gets easier to fold. We can usually get it into the bag in about a minute. Good Luck---Happy Holidays!

Hello MLN,I prefer not to fold it and cover my back leather seats with it. But, I have folded it before. I grab the shade by the sides just above the darker material and criss cross it. One hand goes in my direction and the other hand away from my body. Hope this helps.

you can sort of see the fold lines when it is laying flat. You should leave the door open so extra air can escape and then make sure at the end you fold in the top piece and poles. I am not 100% certain, but I seem to recall you start off folding the tent in 1/2 and then 1/3rds....Good luck!!

Just pull it open - it clicks into place. When you are done, just fold it back up. You might have to push a little extra the first time, but it will be fine after that.

Unclip the two clips that secure carrier in folded position. Unzip the top flap.Reach inside the carrier on the long sides you will find metal poles that come from top corners. There is a plastic sheath on one pole from each side. Retract it and then put the metal parts of the poles end to end and let the plastic sheath spring back into place to hold poles together to form top sides of roof frame. Repeat on the other side. The first time you do it you may have to muscle it a bit but then it is not as hard because the fabric accomidates better.

I grab both ends and twist in opposite directions. That way when it folds together it doesn't unfold or bulk up because it is fighting against its self try to rotate in opposite directions. Either way grabbing and twisting the wire in the middle should work for you.

I didn't have any trouble folding it back up... bring both sides into the middle till they meet. Stomp out all excess air... then fold again continuing to push out all the air. Roll from short front end to back continuing to push out excess air. This should now fit back into the bag... add poles.

I normally fold it to fit along the back of my pack so that it is about 10x14 inches and pretty flat, however the smallest I can fold it in on itself is about 7.5x6.25x2.5 inches. You could probably try rolling it up as well, however be careful because if you pack it in on itself over tightly the grommets will actually dig into the fabric and can cause it to thin out in those spots and possibly leak. Hope this helps! Also just tried rolling it up and got it to roll up to snugly into the orange thermo-lite bivvy bag sack.

The sides have flapped velcro, so it sticks out of the fabric. The sides velcro wraps around the metal bars at the top of the corners. I fold up the canopy top to make room to attach the sides. I then attach the sides wrapping the velcro straps around the metal on the frame, get that all situated, then fold the canopy top back down over the sides. It looks nice and clean.

The instructions aren't very clear on this but you have to take the storage pouch on the back of the cover and flip it inside out. You should see a blue strap that's meant to be the strap for the tote ( it's underneath a little flap so you may not see it at first). You can then roll up the the cover from the bottom and stuff it inside the storage pouch, but I prefer to take a little more time to fold it because it makes it look like the picture. Here's how I do it: Step 1: I do the inside-out thing with the pouch then lay the cover flat and turn it so the back is facing me. The two wings on the side should already be folded in. Step 2: I fold both sides toward the middle over the wings so the two sides are touching but not overlapping (this will later make a rectangle as opposed to a square, which I find to be more bulky). Step 3: I fold it up in thirds from the bottom so that I'm left with a rectangle with both of the leg holes facing up. Step 4: I push the rectangle into the pouch (note that the front of the cover rolls in on itself to form the front of the tote), making sure that it's as flat as possible and all four corners are pushed completely out. This whole process takes me around a minute when I really try to get it perfect but, like I said, it works just as well if you spend ten seconds just rolling the whole thing into the storage pouch :-)

I just start from the back and folding forward. This way when recovering, just drop on front of car and run it to the back. It is a bit heavy to me a small woman, but works well keeping vehicle dry. Hope this helps. Good luck

Ok...since the solar cover is a perfect circle this is how we fold it.1. Place flat and fold in half to form a semi-circle.2. Fold semi-circle to form a quarter circle, now it looks like a slice of pizza.3. Fold again as before to form a 1/8th circle4. Now...go to the where the center of the circle was and begin to roll up towards the outer perimeter of the circle.This will evacuate any air that is trapped.Note: Do not be too aggressive or you will pop some of the bubbles.For long term storage cable time joined together will suffice. The cover survived the winter this years in a shed in NYC. Ok...since the solar cover is a perfect circle this is how we fold it.1. Place flat and fold in half to form a semi-circle.2.

The hood comes inside out, so flip it the other way.. it doesnt fit overly snug, but it will close all of the gaps...

I lay it on it's side then push in every other edge of the octagon. By edge i mean the futhermost points sticking out and not the sides. After you have done three ibelieve, then u fold in half. As you fold keep the bottom folding also and not hanging out. This should all then slide into the zippered bag. I hope this has helped.

Just rotate it out. You install the adapt ring first. then the hood. You can keep the ring that and left the hood out.

So it kinda collapses on itself. Once it's flat, twist opposite corners and it should fold up into itself. Hope that makes sense.
