FAQs
What is the temperature rating of the Kelty Galactic 30?
It is rated for comfort at 30°F / -1.0°C.
Can I zip two of these bags together?
Yes, the Galactic 30 is designed to be compatible with other bags that allow for integration into a double-wide configuration.
Is the down ethically sourced?
Kelty uses high-quality duck down, and the exterior materials are made with PFC-free treatments to minimize environmental impact.
How much does the sleeping bag weigh?
The total weight is 2.9 lbs.
How long is this sleeping bag?
The sleeping bag is 76 inches in length.
How should I store the bag when not in use?
Always store it hanging or in a large, breathable mesh bag to prevent the down from permanently losing its loft.
Troubleshooting
The zipper is getting caught in the fabric.
The bag features an anti-snag draft tube; move slowly and ensure the draft tube fabric is pulled away from the zipper teeth while closing.
The sleeping bag feels thin or flat.
Give the bag a vigorous shake and let it sit for a few minutes. Down needs time to expand (loft) after being compressed in a stuff sack.
The bag is losing water repellency.
The DWR finish can wear off over time. Wash the bag with a technical wash and reapply a DWR spray treatment to restore water resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Galactic 30 is straightforward. After removing the bag from its stuff sack, give it a few shakes to allow the down to loft up fully. For compatibility, ensure you are pairing it with another compatible Kelty sleeping bag if you intend to zip them together.
To clean, use a gentle down-specific detergent and a front-loading washing machine on a delicate cycle. Always tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down clumps. Avoid long-term storage in the stuff sack; keep the bag in a loose, breathable cotton or mesh storage bag at home to maintain the loft and longevity of the insulation.
