Using your Parsec sleeping bag is easy. Just unroll it at your campsite and you're ready to sleep. Make sure to shake it well before use to fluff up the down and maximize its insulating properties. When it comes to wet conditions, don't worry as the Nikwax Hydrophobic Down will keep you warm and dry. However, try to keep the bag as dry as possible. After your trip, roll up the bag loosely and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it compressed for long periods as this can damage the down. If the bag gets dirty, follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, a gentle machine wash in cold water with a mild detergent is sufficient. Then, tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls to help fluff up the down again.
