Steps to Rolling a Puff Jacket
Here is a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to efficiently roll a puff jacket, using information from the YouTube video referenced.
-
Lay Flat: Start by laying your puff jacket flat on a clean, even surface, such as a table or floor. Make sure it's zipped up.
-
Fold One Side: Take the left arm of your jacket. Fold the entire left side of the jacket, over to the right, towards the middle of the jacket. Use the hood as a reference point. This ensures both sides of the jacket are folded inward evenly.
-
Repeat on the Other Side: Repeat step 2 on the right side of the jacket. This ensures both sides of the jacket are folded inward evenly.
-
Start Rolling: Now start rolling the jacket from the bottom, and keep rolling it towards the top of the jacket. The tight and compact you roll the jacket, the smaller and more compressed it gets.
-
Secure Once you have reached the top of the jacket, and it's a tight roll. You can use bands if you want, or keep the jacket rolled in the tight and compact position.
Why Rolling Works:
- Space Saving: Rolling compresses the air trapped within the jacket, making it take up less space in your luggage or storage.
- Organization: Rolled jackets are easier to stack and organize, especially when traveling.
- Protection: A tightly rolled jacket is less likely to get snagged or damaged compared to a loosely folded one.
