CARING FOR YOUR SLEEPING BAG

• Now you have a quality sleeping bag, you need to care for it properly, to keep it in good condition and get years of use from it.
• Always use a liner. All sleeping bags lose a little bit of their warmth every time they are washed. Using a liner means you will rarely have to wash the sleeping bag, and it will keep it's warmth for many years.
• When you store the bag, it's best to hang the bag un-compressed so it maintains it's loft. If you don't have the space, store you sleeping bag in a large cotton bag, not too compresed, and air it out on a regular basis
