Since I head for my weekly jaunt to Bristol tonight, and since the
weather is decidedly pleasant, I tried to pack my jacket instead of
wearing it. Leaving it behind entirely is not an option because that
will make it rain tomorrow.

Can I figure out how to condense it into its integral rear pocket? Can I
b*ll*cks! It was an advertised feature, so I know it is possible.

I've tried repeatedly folding the jacket inwards in all directions,
turning it inside out, turning the pocket inside out, turning both
inside out, sneaking up on it from behind.

Am I being thick, or is there a bunch of people at Gore Bikewear having
a laugh?

The Gore, I know not. Both my Endura and my Campagnolo ones pack easily
into their built in pouches - in the Endura case it is indeed the back
pocket. However, only the Campag one packs small enough that one would
willingly carry it in a back pocket when packed.
