okay, kewl. Thanks for explaining that.

You too, Kennedy!

You guys! I opened up a compartment on my bf's bag today to "get more work done" and I discovered that the baffles (well, at least the one that I can see) are *not* sewn down on the short sides! (side closest to zipper anyway). So it *is* most likely just a case of down shifting...and most likely combined with being rotted. That's good news: can be shifted back! But bad news: now I've got a pound (little less now) of down and not as much need for it! haha!

I'll add some to the currently opened comparement then think about what I want to do with the rest of it while i attempt to shift the down back from the feet to the chest. Maybe I will just take some out of the foot compartments as it is likely rotted (at least a bit) and split the pound evenly between our two bags and call it maintenance. :shrugs:

Thanks for all the vocab and construction lessons, much appreciated!
