Repacking - Grab a handful of the sleeping bag at the bottom (foot) of the sleeping bag and start randomly "stuffing" into

the compression bag. Make sure the first few handfuls are all the way to the bottom of the stuff sack - any dead space at

the bottom of the stuff sack will mean spill over at the top and the sleeping bag may not fit. You can always upgrade to a

larger compression stuff sack if you need to - discuss with your local outdoor retailer.

Zippers - Take care when using the zippers; DO NOT FORCE them to move. There may be some dirt or other reason they

are not sliding. Dirt or sand can be removed with a small brush. If fabric gets caught in the zipper, stop immediately,

gently reverse the zipper slider, and start over.

UV Ultraviolet light - Prolonged exposure ultraviolet light from the sun will cause damage to the sleeping bag fabrics,

both colour fading and strength. Avoid leaving your sleeping bag out in direct sunlight as much as possible.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Always store dry - Absolutely make sure your sleeping bag is COMPLETELY DRY before storing it between adventures.

Any moisture will cause water and mildew damage to the fabrics. This is not covered under any warranty.

Storage - Synthetic sleeping bag insulation has a “memory”, and long-term storage in a compressed state will degrade the

lofting capability of the insulation, and from that the sleeping bag will not be as warm. The less loft, the less warm air the

insulation can hold between its fibres.

It is recommended you store your sleeping bag loosely in a large breathable bag, in a cool and dry environment. The idea

is to have the insulation completely lofted during storage. Every month or so give the sleeping bag a repack to allow air to

circulate to different parts of the sleeping bag. DO NOT store the sleeping bag in its carry bag.

Cleaning the sleeping bag and zippers - Follow the instructions on the sleeping bag. Wash only when necessary as

repeated washing will cause wear and tear on the delicate microfiber insulation, and over time, lessen its effectiveness.

This is true of all insulations. DO NOT DRY CLEAN.

Allow the sleeping bag to COMPLETELY DRY before storage.

If your sleeping bag is likely to need frequent washing, consider using a liner which can be machine washed on its own.

*To restore some of the loft lost over time you can tumble dry for a few minutes using a large heavy duty dryer on low or

no heat and delicate cycle. Make sure to check the sleeping bag many times to reposition - this will ensure to avoid hot

areas that can damage the fabrics and insulation.

Zippers should be cleared of dust and dirt using a small brush. This is a great way to extend the life of your zippers.

Reproof fabrics - It is possible to extend the life of your sleeping bag with some great products from Nikwax, ReviveX®,

and McNett®. The have great cleaning and repair products for your sleeping bag, as well as DWR reproofing products like

Nikwax TX Direct Spray-On and ReviveX Instant Waterproofing Spray. Make sure to read the packaging on any product

and make sure it is ok for your gear. Follow the instructions.

TIPS FOR A WARM NIGHT’S SLEEP

 Unstuff your sleeping bag early so it can regain loft.

 Use a proper sleeping pad and tent/ shelter for the season and conditions.

 For the best thermal efficiency, choose a sleeping bag that fits your body shape and metabolism.

 Wear suitable clothing to bed, even a toque. No cotton underwear in cool temperatures.

 Eat some food before retiring to stoke your internal engine. Avoid alcohol and empty your bladder.

 Consider light exercise to create body heat before going to sleep.

 Use the hood when available. If no hood we encourage the wearing of a fleece or wool toque.

 Bring warmth into the sleeping bag with you - fill up your Nalgene-type bottle with hot water and place inside

your sleeping bag and your insulation will trap this extra heat.

 If you are normally cold in the early morning, keep a silver "emergency" space blanket nearby for a quick warm

up. An inexpensive solution to this common problem.
