    IX products

    Hi Mac,

    I was reading about your IX top/under quilt products and I've got a quick question. Could these be kept compressed/stored in a pack for extended periods of time without loss of function?

    I know that you should keep down sleeping bags loose and lofted to retain maximum warmth when out in the field, but are these able to be kept stored until a time when they are needed to be used?

    The reason I'm asking this is, sometimes throughout the year I'll be asked to go on camping trips out of the blue, and it's a real pain to stuff and pack my down bags (JRB quilts, which are awesome btw) right before a last minute trip. I want to be able to grab my pack and go without any time wasted.

    Thanks

    I don't know for certain. It should be just fine, mainly because you cannot compress it much at all. It's difficult to damage polyethylene by squeezing it!
