Carinthia defence 4 winter sleeping bag olive 185 cm x 200 cm

Product Information

I compare here a bit apples with pears, but if we talk about solo winter woodland camping, that's nevertheless a sensible thought. The outer shell is a super-light, highly resistant, microfibre nylon with a fine microporous coating which makes it water-repellent. There is a generous draft tube on the inside of the zipper to prevent heat loss at the zipper.

The combination of sleeping bags we recommend are intended to work together enabling their user to carry only what is likely to be necessary for each trip. This combination will work from the arid to the tropical and down into frostbite territory. It uses a mix of synthetic and down insulation, with the down bag always on the inside (except in conditions where warm dry weather is predictable and persistent). Additionally, you can opt out of some of these services by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out portal at: http://optout.aboutads.info/. The G-Loft insulation contains Carinthia's Thermoflect, a very thin, very lightweight aluminium material which reflects body heat. Carinthia state that Thermoflect raises the sleeping bag's heat-retaining capacity by around 11%. Though it's hard to substantiate that claim, what is clear is that even though the bag is very heavy-duty, it's surprisingly light considering its warmth and military-grade features, perhaps this is in part due to the heat retention provided by Thermoflect.Erittäin kevyt, pehmeä sekä hengittävä Thermoflect -harsokangas heijastaa käyttäjän ruumiinlämpöä - se lisää lämmön säilyvyyttä noin 11%. The mummy shape: Here, the criteria of stuff size, weight, and warmth are most important. The tapered foot section reduces weight and stuff size. The main advantage is, however, that from the knee downwards, there is increasingly less internal volume to keep warm. The foot section should not be so small that the feet cause the layers of insulation to poke out. A trapezoidal foot section has proven to be ideal. A wedge shape, declining evenly in width from top to bottom, does not fit the true proportions of the body.

The Defence 4's Shellproof outer shell is made from lightweight, durable, ripstop-reinforced, PU coated polyamide (nylon) and is both windproof and to a degree, waterproof (with a hydrostatic head of 1000mm). Yet despite this impressive outer protection, the bag is surprisingly breathable. The small face hole may take a little getting used to, but the benefit is that there is little space for warm air to escape from the sleeping bag.

OUR CUSTOMERS CREATE OUR BUSINESS The Defence 4 is the most popular and best-selling all-round sleeping bag with excellent weight to stuff size and performance ratio. It is a well-established, treeseason sleeping bag that has proven to be 100% reliable on cold nights both in the wilderness and in snow caves. A protection flap on the outer side of the ziper keeps out wind and wetness. The outer shell is a super-light, highly resistant, microfibre nylon with a fine microporous coating which makes it waterproof. There is a generous draft tube on the inside of the zipper to prevent heat loss at the zipper.As an inner bag, down is superb. If you can guarantee arid conditions (deserts, Himalayas, arctic etc.) then down is the way to go, but for the UK and northern Europe, not so much and you literally have to factor in a daily thermal performance loss for down in wet conditions (regardless of hydrophobic patches to an insoluble problem).

The three G-LOFT Plus insulation layers have offset quilting. The shell is not quilted with the filling, but attached later. This provides an air cushion between the insulation and the shell. With no stitch perforations in the shell, it is relatively water and airtight. Carinthia is an Austrian company that manufactures products for military and civilian markets. The closest analogue in the UK would be a company like Snugpak, but I would argue that Carinthia's products are generally of a higher standard. All of Carinthia's products are made either in Austria or elsewhere in the EU. The Defence 4 may be Carinthia's best all-around sleeping bag. Designed for cold and nasty weather, it's no surprise that (among others) also the Finnish army adopted this very model! This here is a reliable choice, designed for very demanding use! Dette er den meget populære Carinthia Defence 4 sovepose – som bliver udleveret til militærestyrker verden over, danske inklusiv. Soveposen er en 3/4 sæsons sovepose, og er i rigtig høj kvalitet. Den egner sig specielt til foråret, efterår og vinter herhjemme – da den har en komfort temperatur ned til -8 grader. I have just spent a week in North Wales with this bag (April 2018), used along with a decent mat it will keep you warm all night. I woke up one morning and my damp clothes hanging to dry from the day before where frozen stiff, but I was toasty warm.So that’s our Carinthia Defence 4 vs 6 spec comparison. Both are great sleeping bags – well made, roomy, warm and robust – much loved by those who already have one of them. Carinthia have been perfecting their products for many years – these guys know how to make good kit. The situation is reminiscent of the MOLLE system, where the military embrace flexibility and efficiency because it's sensible and expedient to do so. One has to wonder why the outdoor industry aren't doing the same? (With my cynical hat on, I can hazard a guess). Experience has shown that the trapezoidal cut provides the ultimate foot space. In a normal sleeping position, the feet do not poke the insulation outward, avoiding cold spots. There is also enough room to store a shoe bag or extra clothing. The outer shell fits loosely over the bag innards, providing an extra insulating layer of air. That also eliminates heat loss due to seams combining the shell with the fillings. Overall, this feature enhances the bag's performance considerably! Combine two bags, get three

You have than a new single entrance / exit zipper in the adapter and the former entrance zippers get now the function of a very fine temperature regulation. But the SF1 would not fit if you don't use the adapter. So it works well only with adapter and SF2 in cold conditions. Different to that you have the Carinthia Defence 4 in the bivvy bag and if it becomes unexpected cold you just put the Tropen inside of the Defence 4, and that's it. By layering the Carinthia Defence 4 inside the Carinthia Tropen, you get a combination that works in extremely freezing temperatures. These two make an excellent pair for users in intermediate weather areas: use the breathable and mosquito net -equipped Tropen in the summer, switch to the Defence 4 in fall, and bring along both into the heart of winter.
