• Oh and no reason a good down bag shouldnt last for years if not washed often and stored carefully. No guarantee that a 2nd hand bag hasnt been ruined by washing too many times. Avoid washing by using sleeping clothes and airing fully is as important as storing uncompressed somewhere dry.

  • But that's the point. Who knows what some idiot has done before. The poster can afford a new bag, so it seems safer.

    My older bag is beyond best, and i have cared for it. It does not loft like it used to and the temperature rating is not what is was now.

  • Yeah exactly. New bag not much more expensive either.

    My oldest Rab bag is 7 years old so maybe its yet to degrade. I have only washed it once or twice though. One of the few times my congenital anosmia is a benefit!
