Hello folks don't want to sound too dumb here , But I just got my first down bag a Montbell SS Hugger 25 degree 650 bag question is do I need too do anything special for the loft to puff out It came stuff lightly in box I shook the bag lightly and now have it hanging. Now compaired to manufacture photos it is only half puffed up if you understand my question thanks everyone .

Throw it in the dryer with no heat and a couple of tennis balls for a little while. Should puff right up.

The tennis balls are really only important if the down has gotten wet and clumped. If it is dry and needs puffing just throw it in the dryer by itself.

A gentle fluff and time should do the trick.
