I'm currently using 3-lb semi-barrel 31F (0C) goose down bag, and it barely fits into 8"x10" sack. I hang it fully unfolded in a closet at home, - this is what manual recommends, and all other sources recommend the same for down sleeping bags. Pressing it into nalgen bottle will keep it dry, but will shorten its life (or decrease thermal quality), shrinking insulation irreversibly. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
