Pinch the unseen part of the fluff with one hand, then pull the outer fabric away from it, and it'll go back into the bag. Some leakage is normal, and this reverses it. If the bag is white-with-down around the zipper seam, that tape might be a good idea. But...MontBell makes great stuff, and it would be out of character for them to like, not test the relative downproofness of the fabric. Superlight fabrics are more succeptible, but-------nope, gonna reel it in here. Pull the fluff back in or tape. Ultimately, any down you lose will lighten the back and make it more suitable for warmer nights. Here's a general lightweight camping gear tape tip: Tear-AId. Two types. For tents, bags, jackets, really good.
