[pct-l] Western Mountaineering sleeping bag - clumpy?

[Jim Keener ( J J )]

My suggestion is that you send it back. I have a Western  
Mountaineering bag that I have carried for three years. Ultra fluffy.  
In fact, I think I'll start calling it "Fluffy". So if yours is  
showing problems from the start, I think you must have a bad bag.
