Troubleshooting

Sleeping bag doesn't seem warm enough.

Zip is catching or difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zip. Use the zip guard and anti-catch piping to prevent snags. Apply a fabric-safe lubricant to the zip if necessary.

Sleeping bag feels damp.

Ensure the sleeping bag is fully dry before packing it away. If the bag has become damp during use, air it out in a well-ventilated area as soon as possible.
