A good night camping sleep starts with choosing the right camping gear especially your sleeping bag. Your role however does not end with purchasing a quality sleeping bag. For years of satisfying camping adventures, you must keep your sleeping bag in good condition through proper care and maintenance.
In order for you to have the ultimate insulation capacity in your sleeping bag, it is proper for you to let it expand an hour before you go to sleep. Your sleeping bag surely has moisture and unwanted smell stored on it during the camping trip. It is but proper for you to let it dry under the sun and help your bag smells fresh again.
It is recommended that you choose a sleeping bag with excellent zipper system, an important feature present in Marmot Helium 15 Sleeping bags. Sleeping bag with two zippers meeting at the middle has more chances of getting stuck so make sure you balance their workload. Use each zipper equally. You may use duct tape to seal broken zipper or patch a tear in your sleeping bag. To avoid these problems, choose a sleeping bag with anti-zipper snagging feature. Always check for actual customer reviews for these important features.
Unless you went out for a month-long camping, it is not necessary for your sleeping bag to be washed after they were used. Nonetheless, you still have to make sure that you follow strictly the directions for washing. Make sure to use only mild soap in to wash sleeping bags made from down materials. Use only lukewarm water and as much as possible use bathtub or something that you can completely submerge the sleeping bag in water. Rinse thoroughly until all water and soap are completely removed. Let the sleeping bag dry in the sun. Make sure you shake it occasionally to help remove water faster.
Maintain your sleeping bag’s loft by storing it properly. Never roll up your wet sleeping bag in a stuff sack. Use only breathable and large stuff sack for your sleeping bag. Avoid compressing it as this will lose its loft easily. It is best to store your sleeping bags loosely on a shelf or just hang it by the loops at the foot like your clothes in a closet.
