How do I clean the Vango Ember sleeping bag?

What does '2-season' mean for this sleeping bag?

What is the maximum user height for this sleeping bag?

How does the integrated headrest improve comfort?
The integrated headrest provides an extra layer of padding and insulation around the head and neck area, enhancing comfort and warmth during sleep.
What is the fill type and its benefit?
The fill is made from 30% Single Hole siliconised hollow fibre and 70% polyester. This combination provides durability, warmth, and lightweight comfort while maintaining loft and softness, even in damp conditions thanks to ThermoLock Insulation.
Troubleshooting
Sleeping bag feels cold
Ensure the zip is fully closed and the hood is drawn. Check that the sleeping bag has not become damp, as moisture reduces insulation. Allow the bag to air out and dry completely.
Zipper is difficult to move
Gently work the zipper back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. The woven zip puller is designed for smooth movement; check for obstructions.
Sleeping bag has lost its loft
Air the sleeping bag out in sunlight for a few hours to help the insulation regain its loft. Ensure it is completely dry before use and storage.
Difficulty packing the sleeping bag
Ensure the sleeping bag is completely dry. Start by stuffing the foot end first, then work towards the head. Use the drawcord on the stuffsack to compress it evenly.

- Storage: Store the sleeping bag loosely in its stuffsack or a large breathable bag in a dry environment to preserve the fill's loft and insulating qualities.
