Troubleshooting

Sleeping bag doesn't seem warm enough.

Ensure you are using a sleeping pad for ground insulation and layering with appropriate clothing. Check the temperature rating against the current conditions.

Down is clumping or has lost its loft.

Gently massage the clumps to redistribute the down. Ensure the bag is properly stored in a non-compressed state.

Zipper is snagging.

Use gentle movements to unzip the bag. The Gemini zip baffle should prevent this, but check for any fabric caught in the zipper.
