The search facility here is so shit i can't find the recent thread, but those saying you shouldn't compress down too much, have you swapped to a top bag, cos sure as hell your 10-15st body weight compresses the bottom of the bag beyond repair?, as surely does sleeeping on top of one on unexpectedly hot nights, no. ?
Same must apply for down jackets and trousers on the elbow, shoulder and hip areas. ?
So down is a waste of time basically as the areas we're most looking to keep warm are those that compress it the most rendering it useless in that area. ?
Or am i missing something. ?
