Troubleshooting

Sleeping bag feels cold despite the temperature rating.

Ensure you are using a sleeping mat to insulate from the ground. Check that the hood and shoulder baffle are properly adjusted to prevent drafts. Wear appropriate sleepwear to retain body heat.

Zipper snags or sticks.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. If necessary, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Sleeping bag seems compressed and not as warm.

Ensure the sleeping bag has been allowed to fully loft after unpacking. If it has been stored compressed for a long time, allow it several hours to regain its loft.
