How hard is it to fold back up to its compact form when you're done with it?

Not hard at all. Pouch is connected on the inside of the pack at the top. It becomes a inside compartment that can hold smaller things. When ready to store it , just reverse the small pouch and proceed to stuff backpack in it. Then zip it closed. It weighs practilly nothing. Made of a tough but light fabric.

It is quite easy and I have done it for both packing and storage. It just folds into itself and zips back into the pouch which is an inside pocket when the pack is in its expanded form.

It wasn't hard at all. There was a picture on Amazon that showed the 6 steps to follow. The daypack is not bulky at all, so it does fold back up quite compactly.

I just fold it back unless I'm using it to stand up... it's worked out very well for me. Glad I bought this one.

I just fold it back .There is enough material to keep from overworking the hinge.(no hinge just a piece of material with plenty of give)

I leave mine assembled, haven't tried to fold it up, but I think you only would have to remove one pin to fold it back to its original position.

I just fold it back the hinge doesn't seem to be weakened at all by this. I haven't talked with the cover closed yet so I don't know how hard that would be . My opinion is that it's well made

I haven't moved it around folded up, but based on the directions I don't think it will be the easiest.

I have not tried to do that, although the instructions said it should be fairly "easy" to fold it up. Not convinced it's all that easy. Sorry I can't be of more help. Don't the instructions give any info?

I am just a consumer, and have not tried this, but I would guess that it would fold ok (it's pretty soft); although, I don't know how keeping it stored that way for extended period of time would would impact the quality. I guess you could do a good shake-out when you pull it back out. good idea though!

Use your strength and just do it... I though I would break mine trying too hard to unfold it, but no. It will get easier to fold/unfold over time.

no,if you want to disassemble it , it will come apart.it's not a folding situation.

It takes more like 30 seconds to 1 minute. You should practice folding it at home. I have no issue. Just watch the youtube video if you problems.

It is stiff, but not hard. So you can't fold it but it is quite bendable and will bounce back to original shape. I can't think of analogy that properly describes it. I have a much smaller one, but have been very happy with it.

I have never tried to do this, but if you folded it lengthwise, you probably could. It would be tricky to do though and you would probably need help to compress and role at the same time.

Try using WD40 and it should make it easier to un fold, its hard because of the shipping and if its cold its harder as well.

I have not tried to fold it back up. It now sits in my living room all the time since my bunny plays in it everyday. Jesse actually lays in it and goes to sleep!!

it comes in a box folded up when you open it, it will expand to size. and yes, after it expands to full size you can roll it back up but it will not be easy. you will need help 2 people

I'm sorry, I've never attempted to fold mine up as I use it almost daily. I have it in a corner area as far against the wall as table tilt will allow, so I don't think it takes up that much space, but I believe others in the answer portion have said it folds quite easily.
