Hey all,
I have just recently washed my down underquilt and topquilt after over 60 nights of continuous use I thought it was time. I used Nikwax downwash and ran it through a front loading washing machine at the laundromat then began the day long process of drying both of these quilts. When I pulled them out of the dryer the final time they were lofted great and seemed perfectly dry. However I went right back to my thru hike and after stuffing then removing from my backpack they are worryingly clumpy. I’ve been breaking up clumps as I go and it’s getting better but still not 100% lofted.

I’m wondering if anyone else has experience with this problem and what they would recommend to fix it?
