Use & Care Instructions

1. Packing & Compression: Place the sleeping bag inside the compression sack, gradually pushing it in from the bottom upwards. Tighten the straps to minimise its packed volume.
2. Washing: Machine wash at a low temperature (up to 30°C) on a delicate cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
3. Storage: Store the sleeping bag in a dry, shaded place. To preserve the loft of the filling, avoid leaving it compressed for extended periods during the off-season.
