I have a niceish feather sleeping bag. I've always been annoyed by the hood, which meant the bag could only be used one way up. I've also disliked the secondary zippers intended to close down the foot end for extra warmth. They just get in the way and make the bag harder to roll. So I got rid of both these annoyances and refinished the cut edge section.
I've also put it in a slightly smaller bag and used the compression straps from my self inflating mattresses. A proper compression sack would be better but I don't feel like either buying or making one.
Now I have a feather sleeping bag that:
-can be used either way up
-will work unzipped as a doona
-has been squished down to about 1/3 of it's more usual storage volume.
-for reference, weighs 2kg.
Yay.
