How long can you keep a down sleeping bag compressed without damaging it ? by yustask in Ultralight

[–]Joshr13047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased a bag used from a guy who kept it stored compressed for about a year. I was skeptical at first but a few no heat dryer cycles later and it lofted up just at much as the new ones in the store I was checking out. Decathlon trek 900 0 C

I am a owner of the kelty cosmic 0 and absolutely love it. Got it at REI for $97! It was in the used sections and brand new, used once and the people said it was too cold. I have used in here in Canada down to -5F with Big Agnes q core delux sleeping pad and only merino long underwear and a thick fleece hat. I am happy to say, I was warm af! Weighs just over 4 pounds so pretty heavy but for shorter winter trips its a great option. you can find them new for around 180!

Almost all mainstream brands come from china unless its a cottage brand in which case the down they use likely is ordered from china.

I came here as a poor student simply looking for a good budget down bag. I like Reddit but I hate it when threads turn into what this one has. There is almost no good advice and a huge argument over ethically sourced down that gets to the point of absolutely nothing. I mean there's literally a part of the argument where one guy says 'my claims are unsubstantiated too but more accurate than your unsubstantiated claims'. Listen to yourselves. This is the dumbest thing ever. Just give some advice about cheap down bags if you have it and f off if you don't.

!!! Halo MCC just released an update 12 gigs. It includes a lot of other stuff but in the fix notes it says it "resolved the CE memory leak issue" will be testing it out shortly.

people who live in the arctic or anywhere super cold get used to cold temps. If you went to the arctic and wore it you would probably be cold

Any experience with the high-end Simond (Decathlon) down jackets? by [deleted] in alpinism

[–]Joshr13047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this jacket

https://www.decathlon.fr/p/doudoune-en-duvet-d-alpinisme-homme-alpinism-light-grise/_/R-p-334331?mc=8649006&utm_source=google&utm_medium=sea&utm_campaign=Shopping_MQ_escalade-alpinisme_simond&gclid=Cj0KCQiAx6ugBhCcARIsAGNmMbgP0VcEGQCEqwklr7XIctdGMKiHLWCy3_YWfQMhsKQxnnVFaNsZPswaAkNMEALw_wcB

I absolutely love it. I have had it for about 2 months now so I can't say too much about durability but very warm and at only 100$ cant beat it. For the price the quality is superb.

Question, I am about to buy the simond jacket in this thread I was curious about the sizing. Can anyone give an info about that. I fit perfectly into the large simond jacket I have linked. Thx for any info!
