    Off season storage

    I have a 0 degree incubator hanging in its storage sack in my gear closet. Will it be ok to hang there the whole summer/fall seasons or will the down migrate?

    Hanging loosely and uncompressed it should be fine. I have a quilt in a large tote storage box where it lives in between uses and I've seen no ill effects. If you get antsy about storage, pull it down and punch it up a bit once a month or so and then rehang it. The down will settle, of course, but only to a certain degree so long as it's free to loft.

    A "ton" will do this Back to the original topic, that will be fine as those storage bags are perfect for off season storage.
