The most efficient way to roll up a jacket for packing involves folding the sides inward, then rolling tightly from the bottom up toward the hood (if present).
Here's a breakdown of the steps based on the reference video information:
-
Lay the Jacket Flat: Place the jacket on a clean, flat surface, like a table or the floor.
-
Fold One Sleeve In: Take the left arm and fold it towards the center of the jacket.
-
Fold the Other Side Over: Bring the left side of the jacket (now containing the folded sleeve) over to the right. Use the hood as a reference point if the jacket has one.
-
Roll Tightly: Starting from the bottom of the jacket, begin rolling it upwards towards the hood. Try to keep the roll as tight as possible to minimize its final size.
-
Secure (Optional): Some jackets have built-in straps or you can use a rubber band or small tie to secure the rolled jacket.
This method helps to compress the jacket, saving space in your luggage or backpack.
