packability
How well folds
Packability is how well something fits into luggage or storage—how easily it folds, compresses, or stows away.
Travel gear often advertises packability as a selling point: The jacket's packability makes it ideal for carry-on travel.
A down sleeping bag rates high in packability; a bulky winter coat does not.
