I like to display my collected UL packs/ gear in my gear shed for a few years before landfill.
You should see how easy the gear shed is to move around my backyard. Made of polycarbonate and aluminum. I can carry it solo with a strap and a furniture cart... with all the gear still inside.
Looks pretty far gone.
I'd compost it, then use the compost to grow weeds. Or weed. Either one.
Then sell the wildflowers (or the weed) on the street corner, and maybe you can earn enough to replace the jacket.
No, it's OK.
You can order an indoor compost system and grow lamp from Amazon.
And you can stop at the street corner on your way to get the wife's boyfriend more beer. Just be sure to make it snappy and get permission first.
I think next time it’s probably best to buy some Apex insulation, and 7D nylon separately…you don’t wanna ruin the insulating power by making it into a jacket. Thats gonna destroy the loft.
Is your point that the jacket has lost its loft?
If that’s because you had it stuffed tightly for a while, look up “restoring down loft”.
Basically you gently wash (w/down soap) & rinse it, air dry it, and run it on “air only” dryer cycle to fluff it up.
It helps a lot.
What? I do not understand this post. We all pack our EE gear. It all comes out of stuff sacks wrinkled. It smoothes out with wear, or you can wash and dry it. What is the point of this post?
Live in the future and just put it straight into the landfill
Purchase, revel in the glow of HAVING, landfill, next purchase. The true circle of life.

Sounds like bushcract! Titanium and dyneema would be an ultra lite gear shed.

Does the down make the resulting crop ultralight?
Excuse me this would require going outside and we strictly don't do that

You guys use your stuff!?
Where is the NSFW tag??!!
I always buy two just in case I accidentally use one.
Your warranty is voided because they don't cover this kind of abuse and neglect.

Pah! Obviously not! As OP said, they just put it in their bag, it hasn’t been worn or *[gasp]* taken outside
Please keep it in your closet, it’s the safest place on the planet.
Synthetic? Look at this pour with no eiderdown.

Good idea. I could just display it on the wall.
Wait 40 years and you’ll be as wrinkled
In 40 years I will be dead.
And wrinkled
DUDE WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?! Never ever ever ever put your down in the included stuff sack! If you do it will turn into mustard gas!
It wasn't the stuff sack. I put it in my 18L backpack.
Hold up you didn't actually take the backpack *outside* did you? *shudders*
I brought it to my job. My job is outside. I'm so fucked.
People work outside?
Yes with trees even. Terrifyingly close to bushcrafting.
Makes me sick thinking of how degraded that insulation is 🤢 maybe still good for use around the yard.
The yard outside? Sounds risky.
Outside? We don't do that here
I'll buy it from you. It's too complicated to fix. DMs are open
Get it outta there!
Quick before it infects the rest of the closet
Put it in the dryer.
Wrinkles add weight. You want to iron that thing to take the weight off.
Almost as bad as sleeping on it as a pillow
I leave everything in it's original package, in the gear closet. Everything is wrinkled, but pristine.

It's wrinkled and makes me look disheveled and poor.

Put it in the dryer on fluff or no heat. Hardly the end of the world nor are you fucked. Jeeze.
