In this video, we teach you how to store your sleeping bag long-term! For other videos like this, check out our channel or our sleeping bag care page at http://outdoorvitals.com/care
For starters, never leave your sleeping bag compacted down in the compression bag! All sleeping bags get their warmth from the amount that they loft or fluff up when they are out of their storage bags. By leaving your bag in its compression bag you will ruin the properties it has to fluff or loft up and essentially your bag will no longer be as warm as it is rated for!
So how do you store the sleeping bag? Simple pull it out of your compression bag and store it in a pillowcase, a larger bag, or hang it up in a closet with its hanging hooks.
Make sure to make sure the bag is dried out from moisture and any loose debris is shaken from the bag before storage. For more on this, see our How To Care For And Wash Your Sleeping Bag video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oIYdnaqVY0
