3. Setup and Unpacking
- Remove from Stuff Sack: Unpack the sleeping bag from its compression stuff sack. The stuff sack is designed to minimize packed volume for transport.
- Allow to Loft: Once removed, gently shake and fluff the sleeping bag to allow the Coletherm Micro insulation to expand and regain its loft. This process maximizes its insulating properties.
- Lay Flat: Lay the sleeping bag flat in your tent or desired sleeping area.
4. Operating and Usage
- Entering the Sleeping Bag: Unzip the sleeping bag fully. Carefully slide into the bag, ensuring your feet are comfortably positioned in the 3D foot area.
- Zipping Up: Pull the zipper up slowly, ensuring the Thermolock baffle is positioned correctly to prevent cold spots. The auto-lock feature will help keep the zipper in place.
- Inner Pocket: Use the internal pocket to store small items like a phone, wallet, or headlamp, keeping them secure and easily accessible.
- Temperature Management: For warmer conditions, you can partially unzip the bag for ventilation. In colder conditions, ensure the bag is fully zipped and the hood (if applicable) is cinched for maximum warmth.
5. Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Spot clean small stains with mild soap and water. For a full wash, follow these steps: Hand wash in a large tub with cold water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Do not wring.
- Drying: Air dry completely by laying flat or hanging in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat. Ensure the insulation is fully dry before storage to prevent mildew.
- Do Not Dry Clean: Dry cleaning chemicals can damage the insulation and fabric.
- Avoid Bleach and Ironing: Do not use bleach or iron the sleeping bag.
6. Storage and Portability
Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the loft and insulating properties of your sleeping bag over time.
- Long-Term Storage: For extended periods, store the sleeping bag uncompressed in a large, breathable storage sack (not the compression stuff sack) in a cool, dry place. Hanging it or laying it flat is ideal.
- Packing for Travel: For transport, use the provided compression stuff sack. Start by stuffing the sleeping bag feet-first into the sack, rather than rolling it. This helps distribute the fill more evenly and makes packing easier. Cinch the straps on the stuff sack to compress the bag to its minimum size.
