Biopod DownWool Subzero 175

Washing

• The washing instructions are located in the inner pocket of the sleeping bag.
• The sleeping bag can be hand-washed with a down-specific detergent at a maximum of 30°C/86°F or machine-washed using the wool wash cycle. Please turn it inside out, zip it up, perform an additional rinse cycle, and do not use fabric softener.
• Remove the item from the machine, fluff it up a bit, and run an additional spin cycle at a maximum of 600 revolutions.

Drying

• Dry in a tumble dryer at a maximum of 60°C/140°F, and be sure to add 2-3 tennis balls for better fluffing.
• Please perform multiple drying cycles, and after each cycle, remove the item from the machine, shake or fluff it well, and allow it to cool down in between.
• The dryer should be set on a timed program to ensure thorough drying of the down.
• If a tumble dryer is not available, the sleeping bag can be placed on a laundry rack on sunny days and should be frequently shaken to allow air from above and below to circulate.

How do you know when the drying process is complete?

• If the item still doesn't have its original thickness, you need to repeat the drying cycles until the sleeping bag feels more filled than before.
• Depending on the water resistance of the outer material, the drying process may take varying lengths of time (at least 2 days, depending on the dryer model).
• The down must be completely dry. If the sleeping bag is not properly dried and fluffed, there is a risk of clumping the down feathers. This could irreparably damage the sleeping bag. Damp down may have an odour, but this odour will dissipate when the sleeping bag is fully dry.

Tip

• Down sleeping bags should be periodically dried with tennis balls in the tumble dryer to remove excess moisture.
• Sleeping bags should be stored open and dry in their storage bag. An old pillowcase can also serve as a suitable storage bag.
• When packing in the compression sack, the sleeping bag should be stuffed with the foot end first, not rolled or folded.
• Airing out a sleeping bag is preferable to washing. Hybrid sleeping bags require less frequent washing because wool naturally possesses odour-resistant and dirt-repellent properties. We recommend cleaning small external stains gently (as described above), and heavily soiled or greasy sleeping bags can be washed in a washing machine.
