Top Tips

• When joining the inner bag to the outer, start matching the Velcro at the head end, next to the zips, as this will make a neater job and avoid any bunching and will produce a more uniform join
• When rolling your bag, firstly, fold the top of the head flush, leaving no pile from the inner bags exposed, then roll from the bottom towards the head and secure with the strap. This will give the maximum protection, in-case someone in their foulies makes themselves comfortable on your bunk, or opens an overhead hatch!
• Always fully dry your Ocean Sleepwear® bag before storing away for long periods of non-use. To get the longest life from you bag, it is much better to store it loosely folded – not crammed into its stuffsac
