I just pulled out my Northface Bigfoot sleeping bag that's been stuffed away for around 9 years or so. It's a down-mummy style sleeping bag that was rated at 0 degrees. I'm about to embark on a river rafting trip and didn't feel like spending a couple hundred bucks to get a new bag. My question is how good do you think a sleeping bag that's been stuffed away that long is? Does keeping it compressed for a long time like that make it lose its effectiveness for keeping you warm?
