Hi
I need some advice from the more experienced of you. I own a Mountain Equipment Snow line down bag. I bought it nearly 13 years ago and I have never washed it. Its only been used about 10 times in all those years. ( I spent 10 years in the tropics) It has mostly been stored in a large mesh bag in a dry wardrobe in the UK. Its still clean, no odour and looks like new but I do feel thats its not as warm as it used to be and it doesnt loft as well as a new bag.
My question is this, would a professional sleeping bag cleaning service improve the warmth / loft ? It doesn't feel or smell so I'm not sure what cleaning would achieve. Its an expensive bag, in my old age I feel the cold more and I would like to use it next year in the Nordic winter and I'm not sure whether it will be up to it. Any suggestions?
