Troubleshooting
Sleeping bag feels cold.
Ensure the bag is fully lofted before use. Check that the hood and collar are properly adjusted to minimize heat loss. Consider wearing extra layers of clothing.
Zippers are snagging.
Use slow and steady movements when zipping and unzipping. Avoid forcing the zipper. Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth.
Down is clumping.
Tumble dry the sleeping bag on low heat with dryer balls to redistribute the down and restore loft. Ensure the bag is completely dry.
