    Trail winder storage question

    Hey guys , I just bought a 20 degree trail winder non asym. I have a question- since the insulated portion isnt quilted ( like a ray jardine quilt) , when you stow the quilt in your pack, are there any special precautions or techniques to prevent the insulation from being stressed or damaged? ( or do you just stuff it in ?) Also is there any danger of over compressing the quilt?

    FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
    run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
    bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )


    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.

    I usually sort of roll mine. No idea if it makes a difference for the longevity of the quilt, but I find it easier to pack that way. If I'm in a hurry, I just stuff it in as I would any other quilt.

    I've always just stuffed it into a liner bag in the bottom of my pack if I'm backpacking, and into a compression dry bag (only compressing as much as I need for space) when kayaking. The rest of the time it lives in a pillow case.

    I also stuff mine inside the liner bag at the bottom of my pack. I have had no issues with the insulation getting damaged; but I do know that synthetic insulation will break down over time after many compression cycles.
