Using your JR Gear Explorer 100 Sleeping Bag is easy. First, take it out of the compression stuff bag and let it fluff up for a bit. Then, unroll it on your sleeping area. Slip inside and adjust the drawcord on the hood for a snug fit. You can put your pillow in the pillow pocket for extra comfort. When it comes to cleaning, it's best to follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, you can use a mild detergent and wash it on a gentle cycle. After washing, let it dry thoroughly. Avoid storing it compressed for long periods, as this can damage the insulation. Instead, store it in a loose, airy place. Also, make sure it's completely dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew.
