• Upon receiving your new down product, give it a good 5-minute shake and run it through the dryer with no heat, as it may have been compressed during transit. This will help restore its shape.
• Wear clean clothes when using your down products.
• Use a sleeping bag liner to protect your Wearable Sleeping Bag Coat – Anywear from dirt and create a barrier between your body and the bag's interior. A good liner also provides added insulation and warmth to your bag.
• Air your down products after use to prevent the growth of mould within the insulation fill.

A good airing will allow that moisture to evaporate.
