This label is from my Eureka Casper sleeping bag. Notice their suggestion to:
- For Long Term Storage, Hang Bag By Loops At Foot
- Do Not Leave Bag In The Compression Stuff Sack For Long Periods Of Time
And, I like to add:
- Ensure That Your Sleeping Bag Is Completely Dry
Don’t feel bad if you didn’t know what those loops are. I didn’t know what those loops were for the first many times I went on climbing trips. I had to ask, “Hey, what are these things?”
Here’s a quick 1 minute video showing how easy it is to store your expensive sleeping bag. I store my sleeping bags on a hanger because I use a Portable Closet to store all of my tents, sleeping bags, and off-season clothing. This is what works for me. You may find something else that works for you. If you have a different system, share in the comments.
Well, one thing is for certain — you must maintain your sleeping gear as you would any other gear. It is important.
It doesn’t matter if you spent a hair under $100.00 for a Coleman bag or if you splurged on a Western Mountaineering Down sleeping bag and spent over $1000.00. You must maintain your gear.
So spend the time and learn how to store your expensive sleeping bag.
In case you lost or cannot read the label on your sleeping bag
Notice on the Coleman label, at the bottom, that it states, “Bag must be thoroughly dry before being rolled and stored.”
Coleman is WRONG here. Storing your sleeping bag rolled and compressed shortens the life of the insulating materials, decreases its performance, and encourages it to smell like poorly stored camping gear.
Your gear should smell like fresh snow or a strong breeze; not like foul shoes.
Skip Coleman’s recommendation here.
