Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Microlite 500 sleeping bag is ready to use straight out of its stuff sack. Unroll it fully and allow it to loft for a few minutes before use to maximize its insulating properties.
Compatibility:
- This sleeping bag is designed for solo use. It can be zipped together with another Microlite 500 bag of the opposite zip-hand (one right, one left) to create a double sleeping bag.
- The regular length is suitable for users up to 180cm (5'9"), while the long length accommodates users up to 195cm (6'4").
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a mild detergent. Do not bleach or tumble dry.
- Drying: Air dry the sleeping bag completely. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Ensure it is thoroughly dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Store the sleeping bag loosely in its original stuff sack or a large breathable bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid long-term compression storage, which can degrade the insulation.
