Mountain Hardwear Down Flip 35/50 Degree Sleeping Bag

A:

Yes, you can mate them however you are correct in asserting that one will have the 35 degree top while the other will have a 50 degree top. You can not mate them with the same temp rating for each.

A:

DO NOT DRY CLEAN YOUR SLEEPING BAG. The manufacturers of our synthetic and down fills inform us that solvents and fumes used in cleaning may be retained in the insulation and if inhaled, could produce skin irritation, allergic reaction, or possibly serious physical injury.

Machine Washing & Drying:

We suggest washing the bag in a front loading (non-agitator), heavy duty, commercial washer. Use a mild detergent. We suggest using ?? to ?? as much detergent as instructed on the container, depending on how soiled the bag is. Do not use bleach. Use cool or cold water setting, delicate or gentle cycle. For best results, run the bag through one or two extra rinse cycles without detergent. Remove from washer carefully in a bundle. Dry in a commercial dryer at low heat or AIR setting (must be less than 125??F). Excessive heat will damage fabric and insulation. Remove promptly and lay flat until cool. The bag may also be line dried after being sufficiently spin dried to remove most of the water.

Hand Washing & Drying:

Place bag and mild detergent in a clean bathtub. Fill the tub enough to cover bag sufficiently with cool water and massage the detergent throughout the bag until thoroughly cleaned (be prepared to spend 12 to 15 minutes of massaging here). Lightly scrub the outside of the shell with a soft brush if there are any extra-heavily soiled areas. Drain the dirty water and gently press excess dirty water out of the bag. Do not wring the bag. Refill with clean water, massage again, kneading the clean water throughout. Drain, press out excess water and repeat if necessary until water runs clear. After final rinse, remove bag from tub carefully (if too much water is left in the bag, strain may be placed on the insulation???s stitching) and place on flat surface (floor or ground) on towels or old sheets to keep bag clean until it air dries. As bag begins to dry, turn occasionally, and when bag nears complete dryness, shake periodically to restore loft. With down, be certain to break up clumps or they will dry hard and be difficult to separate.
