With our new Voler kits this year, I sprung for the Thermal Jacket. This is the same sold by Hammer.
I commute to work, and yesterday it was 35 F at 7 AM, and 61 F at 6 PM. The jacket, with its full coverage of IsoWind, was great in the morning, but too warm in the evening. But, being thermal and all, it is thick, and doesn't readily fit in my back pocket.
I don't know if the solution for this is commonly known, but I've never seen it, so maybe you haven't either. I start by turning the sleeves inside out, and then stuffing the sleeve into itself. I keep stuffing the sleeve until half the jacket is in, as evidenced by getting to the label on the collar. Then, I do the same on the other side...
...until the two pouches meet and articulate in the center.
One pouch goes into the center pocket, the other pouch goes into one of the side pockets. It fits very securely, and doesn't ball up so much that you feel a huge lump.
