Two rules.
Long term storage, let it be fully puffed out.
Short term, stuff the hell out of it.If your away a whole month and not using it at all. I'd just get it out every other night and throw it around to help the down puff up, then pack it away in the morning.
The longer it's compressed up for, the longer it'll take to uncompress fully.It'll be fine.

What are the rules for compressing down jackets?
I have a Trespass Ramirez, and considering its price point I'm afraid to over-pack it. I could easily compress it half the size of the stuff sack, but my instinct says that will also halve the lifespan of the down.
It will be an 'emergency' layer in case I'm wild sleeping in the bivvy + jungle bag, so I don't want it taking up half the kit bag either. Since I'm away for the whole of May, it will remain stored for a fair chunk of time. Any tips?
