Troubleshooting
Sleeping bag feels cold
Ensure the hood and shoulder baffle are cinched tightly to prevent heat loss. Check if the bag is fully lofted. Consider using a sleeping bag liner for additional warmth.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. A light application of wax or silicone lubricant on the zipper teeth can help.
Bag seems damp or clammy
This can occur with significant temperature changes. Open the zipper slightly for ventilation. Ensure the bag is completely dry before storing.
Bag won't compress small
Ensure all air is expelled from the bag before rolling or stuffing into the sack. Make sure the insulation is fully dry and has lofted properly; it may take time to regain full compressibility.
