Hello,

I have a MEC sleeping bag filled with down rated at -12 Celsius. I took it out of my closet the other day to air it out, and I noticed that it feels more "wrinkly" per say. It just doesn't feel as puffy as it felt when I bought it which was a year ago. Until now, it has been kept in a compression sack, which could be contributing and making it less puffy... Is this alright? I need to use it in a few days on a kayaking trip and I don't want a faulty sleeping bag...

Also, The feathers that are in it are coming out... its not a whole lot of them, but there are certainly a few... Should I be concerned?

Thanks for all your help!

Eric D.
