The Featherstone Moondance Pad Straps are designed to securely attach your sleeping pad to your Moondance sleeping quilt, ensuring that the quilt stays in place while you sleep. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use them effectively:
Step 1: Lay Out Your Sleeping Pad
• Spread your sleeping pad flat on a clean surface, ensuring there are no sharp objects or debris that might damage it.
Step 2: Attach the Pad Straps to the Sleeping Pad
• Take one pad strap and wrap it around the width of your sleeping pad.
• The pad straps should be positioned so that one is closer to the top (near your shoulders) and the other closer to the bottom (around your hips or midsection).
• Adjust the straps so they are snug but not overly tight to avoid constricting the pad.
Step 3: Secure the Straps to the Moondance Quilt
• Once the straps are wrapped around your sleeping pad, locate the corresponding loops on the underside of your Featherstone Moondance Quilt.
• Clip the pad straps into these loops by inserting the strap’s buckles into the quilt loops, ensuring they’re securely fastened.
Step 4: Adjust the Tension
• After attaching both straps, adjust the tension of the straps if needed, ensuring that the quilt remains snug around you but allows for comfortable movement.
Step 5: Final Check
• Ensure that the quilt is securely fastened to the pad with the pad straps, and that the quilt remains in place as you move. This will help prevent drafts and keep you warm throughout the night.
Tips:
• For colder conditions, make sure the quilt is tucked tightly around the sleeping pad.
• The pad straps also help minimize movement, so adjust them for your comfort depending on how much you tend to move while sleeping.
