I was thinking about getting this jacket and I was looking for a picture on how small it compresses. Anyone have one that they can compress for me and take a picture of it next to a ruler or soda can?
Thanks!

I meant Torrid Jacket.
Unfortunately I can’t help you with a pic (‘cos I don’t have this jacket!) but I’m not sure you want to be compressing it much anyway. Climashield Apex or not, synthetic insulation does not respond well to significant or repeated compression. If pack space is tight and you need to compress to the max then a down jacket will give you better compression and many more years’ service. A frequently and maximally compressed synthetic will be struggling to perform its best after barely a season in my experience. With moderate compression you might get two or three seasons. (Longer obviously if you are only out a handful of nights a year)
