I loaded and unloaded my first couple of rolls of HIE in a synthetic
fiber changing bag, and found that the bag actually leaked IR!  I switched
to a natural fiber changing bag and have had no further problems.  Using
the changing bag in the field can be a little awkward - I'm embarassed to
admit that I did put my finger through the shutter of the camera, 
fortunately
without causing permanent damage - but it beats missing shots due to lack of 
a dark room.
