Hi,
Normally when I receive Primaloft items in the post they are in boxes but recently I had a belay parka delivered and it came in a heavy duty plastic shipping bag, it was not compressed in the bag.
Should I be worried that the fill may have got damaged during shipping (it took 2 days to deliver). I presume other items could of been packed on top of it and “squashed it”.
As it was a high value item and it was damaged while shipping I will get on to the store.
Cheers,
Stephen
I would not think that the postage would have damaged the fill by squashing it. We pack our synthetic-fill jackets down for overseas travel and that never seems to have any effect on them.
Cheers
I wouldn’t worry about it. I have a Primaloft jacket and it’s designed to be stuffed into it’s small breast pocket.
Thanks Roger and Bob.
That’s good to know :-)
Not to mention the items are probably shipped from china compressed. I am sure they don’t ship synthetic sleeping bags or puffys fully lofted in shipping containers.
That is hard for a non compression freak like me to fathom but I am sure it’s what happens. I won’t even pack my down bag until the morning I leave for a trip because I hate having them compressed any longer than they have to be.
Very true Brad about coming from China compressed.
I am like you with compressing my gear.
there will likely be some loss if its tightly compacted for periods … thats life with synth
as to stuffing in its own pocket … if you stuff it tightly enough over time there will be some loss
thats life with synth
;)
It came loosely packed Eric, I was just concerned that it may have got damaged if heavy weights had been placed on top during shipping.
