I'm embarrassed to post this here, but I'll get over it.
I did the one thing you're not supposed to do with a sleeping bag. My bag sat in the garage this week in a storage tote I use for trips. Too tired to pull it out on the weekend I decided to throw it in the dryer today to 'fluff' on LOW. Yea, I should have laid it out or put it in on FLUFF with no heat. It's never been a problem in the past until now….
To the point, I now have a few crispy and melted baffles on the interior shell of my perfectly good WM Apache bag. No real down loss to speak of, but it's currently unusable until it's fixed. Looking at the melted baffles actually made my stomach turn a little.
So where should I be sending this thing? I don't care for a pretty repair, just one that will last the life of the bag. Anyone have experience in repairing baffles? Turn around time is sort of important as this is the only bag I currently own and I had a few short overnight trips in mind. I've heard good things about Rainy Pass gear repair but wasn't sure if they sew bags.
Sucks!
Kids, don't put your down gear in the dryer.
