Using your Big Agnes Torchlight sleeping bag is easy. First, unzip the bag and spread it out on your sleeping area. Adjust the expandable panels according to your comfort. You can zip them open for more space or keep them closed for a snug fit. To use the hood, adjust the cordlock to fit your head and keep drafts out. Store your small items like your phone in the internal mesh stash pocket. When it's time to pack up, stuff the bag into the stuff sack. For long - term storage, use the storage sack. As for maintenance, spot - clean the bag when it gets dirty. Avoid machine - washing unless necessary. If you do machine - wash, use a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Always dry the bag thoroughly in a well - ventilated area or in a dryer on a low - heat setting. Keep the bag away from sharp objects to prevent tears.
