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.

I just went hiking with it this past weekend. At the end of the hike, I was sweating, and felt a lot of sweat on my back. But its a very comfortable pack. However, it lacks space for TONS of camera gear for long trips. So, be warned that if you want this trip to go cross country, its not going to store much more than a camera and a lens in the padded area. In the main compartment, stuff will move around quite a bit. So, plan carefully.

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

I think the 10L is fine assuming your not packing winter gear like a bulky sweater, and even then it would hold all of your gear. I was able to put in two larger beach towels, shirt, shorts and a little pouch with phone, sunscreen, walket.

I was able to fit it in a jacket pocket but this jacket had a deep pocket and it bulged outta my jacket so no it doesnt really fit in a pocket sorry man..

I routinely carry three ring binders to work and home when I bike commute and they don't fit in the pack. I use a separate backpack on the days I know I'll be taking work home. A small binder will fit in the extended side pocket but the top will stick out and it definitely won't zip closed.

I have carried it in a purse and a soft back pack and had no problems with it opening. The cover fits snuggly.

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 ggkitty, do you mind telling me how this bag worked out for you? I also want it to carry around my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2012 edition. It will also have the official case but shouldn't be much bigger. Does your tablet fit with maybe some room to spare? Thank you!

I use a small over the shoulder carrying case that is made for CD players, it was one my daughter used in high school about12 years ago, I think any small over the shoulder bag would do for hands free walking, oh when it's cool and I wear a jacket, I put it in the pocket.

As far as carrying your gear and packing out game you will be fine the only issue is if there is rain the pack will probably leak around the zippers so pack things you want to stay dry in ziplock bags. Good hunting.

Thanks! Trying to consolidate what I carry. That would be no good if I lost it altogether so a pouch would be best. Thanks for your answer!

Yes. I have a tube, co2 cartridge, two tire tools, a very compact multi-tool, and a garage door opener. It's pretty packed. My Galaxy S4 won't fit, so I keep that in my shirt pocket. I like the flip top. I previously used a larger Profile Design bag but the zipper froze up after less than a year of use. Don't have to worry about that with this bag, but it's probably not as secure contents might go flying in a wreck, but that would be the least of my problems if that happened!

I use it daily for work and have not had any problems as of yet. The pattern doesn't even have any wear to it...but it would also depending on what your carrying. If its overstuffed with books and notebooks, it might be different. Best of luck :-)

It's not too bad. I have a big purse, and it fits in there. I like it because of its different compartments. Nothing gets soggy anymore. And the entire stays cool without refrigeration. If you have a car to and from work, I would definitely get one. One would also fit in a back pack. Hope this helps.

I would have to say it depends on if you plan on carrying it around from place to place where you would need more protection or not. I have the software cover to protect it from dust and scratches while using it. I don't carry it around a lot like maybe in a book bag or a tote bag etc. ... hope this helps
