Troubleshooting

Sleeping bag feels colder than expected.

Ensure you are using a sleeping pad for insulation from the ground. Check that the hood and baffles are properly sealed to prevent heat loss. Make sure you are wearing appropriate base layers.

Zip is catching or snagging.

Carefully inspect the zip and remove any obstructions. Ensure the fabric isn't caught in the zip. Use the zip guard with anti-catch piping correctly.

Sleeping bag is not lofting properly.

Allow the bag to air out and decompress after storage. Fluff the insulation by hand to restore loft.
