VINTAGE Marmot Down Mummy Sleeping Bag & Granite Gear Compression Stuff Sack USA

  

VINTAGE 90s Granite Gear Rock Solid Compression Sack - Made IN USA Original RARE. Both Items Used Just 6 Nights. Please see my Sept 7 update note at the end of this listing. Bundled Item 1 of 2: Vintage'90s Marmot Goose Down Mummy Sleeps Bag.

I've properly stored my Marmot sleeping bag in a no-smoking home. I'm the original owner. I bought it in early'90s & used it. I showed it to a few gear people who commented, "Very clean", "Looks like-new".

I also pointed out the yellow staining on the sleeping bag & each person said it had no odor. It's just time to find it a new owner as I haven't used it in vintage years! Please review & enlarge all photos, as they are part of the description.

General : In almost new condition. Except for yellow staining odorless.

The staining is mainly on the frontside per attached photo. On the backside, you might also see a very small & hard-to-locate stain. It's so small, I often miss it, depending on the light. My good camera does not show it but I've included a photo of the small area where I've seen it. I never kept food or pets inside the tent.

Per care instructions , I carefully tried to manually remove staining on the frontside. After a little topical rinse, I applied a gentle, warm mild powered detergent directly to the staining. I gave the area a second topical rinse. No luck in removing the staining.

From there, I chose not to machine wash the entire bag as the stain seems permanent. And given that the sleeping bag is very clean inside & out, it does not need an entire machine wash. I thought it better to preserve the bags original, like-new loftiness. Flaw Is Cosmetic : The staining is cosmetic because it does not affect the function of the sleeping bag & has no odor. Other than the Odorless Staining, it's in Like-New Condition. Never stored stuffed or wet. Never in the compression stuff sack for more than 1 to 1.5 days. Always aired after each use.

Two loops at bottom of the bag for hanging to air out. Note: As with any nylon fabric near a zipper, always zip carefully to prevent the nylon from getting caught in zipper. Large Label with Contents & Care Instructions (Front & Back).

Shell & Lining: 100% Nylon. RN 79448 & CA 02986. DO NOT Store Stuffed Or Wet. Compression For Long Periods Of Time Will Cause Loss Of Loft.

Machine Wash Separately: Commercial FRONT LOAD ONLY. Gentle, Warm, Down Soap Or Mild Powdered Detergent. Commercial Dryer with Tennis Balls to Fluff.

Low or No Heat under 125°, Verify Operating Temperature. Small Labels Showing Size & Model. I contacted Marmot for technical specs in August 2020 but have not yet received a response. Bundled Item 2 of 2. VINTAGE 90s Granite Gear - The Original Rock Solid Compression Sack - Made IN USA - RARE.

Vintage hard to find, especially in excellent condition. Bought it in early'90s. I fit my Vintage'90s Marmot Goose Down Mummy Style Swift Model in this same compression sack listed here. The Marmot sleeping bag is 6 ft.

In length & 30 in width. Probably would not fit a heavy-duty winter sleeping bag. If you appreciate outdoor gear history, you may already know that Granite Gear LLC, founded in 1986, created & introduced the 1st generation Rock Solid Compression Stuff Sack. I remember discovering it in the early'90s at a Chicago gear store.

According to a product review, not long after this innovative sack was introduced, it drew a gear-cult following. Includes "Medium, Rock Solid, Compression Stuff Sack, 420 Denier Pcleth" (Packcloth).

From Granite Gear LLC's website. Wash in cool water with a mild detergent, rinse really well and air dry in a shaded location.
