Setup Instructions
Unpacking and Lofting
Remove the sleeping bag from its stuff sack. Lay the sleeping bag flat on a clean, dry surface, such as inside a tent or on a ground tarp. Allow the insulation to loft for a few minutes to regain its full thickness and maximize warmth.
Preparing for Use
Ensure the zipper is fully functional and moves smoothly. If the bag has a Comfort Cuff, position it around your face for added warmth and comfort, especially in cooler temperatures.
Operating Instructions
Entering and Zipping
Unzip the sleeping bag completely. Lie down inside the bag and zip it up to your desired comfort level. The ZipPlow zipper is designed to prevent snagging on the fabric, ensuring a smooth closure.
Temperature Management
For colder conditions, ensure the Thermolock draft tube is properly positioned along the zipper to minimize heat loss. Adjust the zipper opening to regulate internal temperature. In warmer conditions, you can partially or fully unzip the bag for ventilation.
Maintenance
Cleaning
The Coleman Kompact sleeping bag is machine washable. Follow these steps for proper cleaning:
- Use a large-capacity, front-loading washing machine without an agitator.
- Wash with cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
- Do not use bleach.
- Tumble dry on low heat with a few tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the insulation. Ensure the bag is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
Storage
For long-term storage, avoid compressing the sleeping bag tightly, as this can reduce the insulation's loft over time. Store it loosely in a large mesh bag or hang it in a dry, cool place. For transport, use the provided compressible stuff sack.
Troubleshooting
Zipper Snagging
The ZipPlow zipper is designed to reduce snagging. If the zipper snags, gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth while slowly moving the slider. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
Cold Spots
If you experience cold spots, ensure the sleeping bag is fully lofted. Check that the Thermolock draft tube is correctly positioned along the zipper to block cold air. In very cold conditions, consider adding a sleeping bag liner for extra warmth.
Difficulty Rolling/Packing
Utilize the Roll Control design to keep the bag straight while rolling. For the stuff sack, compress the bag gradually, pushing air out as you go. Use the side straps on the stuff sack to cinch it down further for a more compact package.
