We're very sorry that there seems to be a problem with your password. Please reset your password through the My Account section on the website. A new password will be emailed to you, which can be changed to something more memorable for the next time you log in.

Please ensure that you enter the new password exactly as provided. It is case-sensitive and will not allow login if any of the letters are supplied in a different case. If you are not sure of the characters in your new password, copy and paste the password from the e-mail directly into the password field, making sure you only select the characters of the password without any extra spaces.

Please note that if you have requested more than one reminder password in a short space of time, a new password is generated each time (invalidating the previous one), so please check that you are using the latest password that was generated. If in doubt, wait 15 minutes to allow any pending e-mails to arrive before generating another reminder.

Please ensure you have copied and pasted the new temporary password from the email we sent you. The password is case sensitive and on occasions doesn't work if typed in manually. If the password set no longer works, please click on "forgotten password" and a new password will be sent to you in an email. Please copy and paste the password issued to you (ensuring no gaps are either side as it is case sensitive). You can then change your password to something more memorable when you are successfully logged into your account.

Don't worry, we will still have your email address and other details saved in our system. Please go to the 'My Account' section on the website, enter your email address and select the forgotten password option. A temporary password will be sent to you via email, which can be changed to something more memorable next time you log in to your account.

Most synthetically insulated sleeping bags can be washed at home by carefully following the guidelines on the manufactures care label.

We would recommend that down insulation sleeping bags are professionally cleaned.

Periodic cleaning of down products is essential to maintain maximum loft and long life. Annual cleaning for products used occasionally is suitable, however, a down product should be cleaned after 30-45 days of continual use.

We would recommend that any down garment is cleaned professionally by a specialist, however, you can clean at home by following the directions below and ensuring that any instructions on the care label are followed.

Hand washing:

This is the best way to protect a down product when washing it and allows for stains to soak out. You should use a non-detergent soap, lukewarm water and gently rub out any stains with care. DO NOT lift your down item up if it is heavy with water because the down will clump together and fall to the bottom. You must rinse the soap thoroughly and push the water out of the item gently. Do not allow long periods of time between washing and drying, because the feathers will clump together if left to dry naturally.

Machine washing:

Some garments can be machine washed but you must always consult the manufacturers instructions (usually printed on the sewn in label). If the cleaning instructions allow it you can wash your down item in a normal washing machine in COLD water, on a gentle cycle. Put it through a cycle twice. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.

Tumble Drying:

How you dry your garment is probably the most important part of the cleaning process. DO NOT hang out to dry as the feathers will clump together at the bottom of the jacket. You must use a tumble dryer with NO HEAT in order to re-loft the feathers. Ideally, we recommend that you place tennis balls in the tumble dryer as this helps to separate the feathers whilst drying. The garment must be completely dry to avoid clumping or permanent damage.

Dry Cleaning:

We do not recommend this unless you deal with a dry cleaner that specialises in cleaning down products.

We are not able to repair poles, however we sell tent pole repair kits both online and in our stores.
