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 "simple" Carinthia bivvy bag is surely the best bivvy bag in the world. But may be a bit pricey if bought new for civil use, what depends on the personal income and interest of course. And it is compared to the Snugpak SF bivvy bag pretty heavy, although it isn't heavy compared to other GoreTex military bivvy bags. Erityinen G-LOFT ISO+ -tekokuiturakenne toimii samaan tyyliin kuin korkealaatuinen untuva. Valmistusmetodin ansiosta kuitu ei menetä muotoaan vaikka pussi olisikin säilössä kompressiopussissaan. Great products and quality throughout a must for keeping warm in cold conditions both bags bought are large and im 5ft 11 with plenty of room for kit and movement

G-Loft filling - Carinthias own, in-house "hollow-fibre", made in Austria. Highly compressible, excellent weight-insulation ratio, and also moisture resistant, meaning that it will work even under long term use in damp conditions. To say it clearly here: There are British made high quality Snugpak products and there are Asian made low quality Snugpak products for the usual civil market. The mummy shape: Here, the criteria of stuff size, weight, and warmth are most important. The tapered foot section reduces weight and stuff size. However, the main advantage is that there is increasingly less internal volume to keep warm from the knee downwards. The foot section should not be so small that the feet cause insulation layers 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 body's true proportions. Shellproof outer shell - a lightweight, hard-wearing, ripstop reinforced and specially treated polyamide which is both wind and waterproof (1000 mm), yet breathable.At GearFreak.uk we have gathered a large selection of quality gear.

OUR CUSTOMERS CREATE OUR BUSINESS The military modular system uses 2 bags: a lighter "patrol" bag (down to 0°C) and a medium-weight cold weather bag (down to -15°C) which combine for extreme cold (down to -30°C, but a total weight of nearly 3kg). Scramble's recommended "modular" system uses 3 bags, is lighter and more flexible (better in hotter, arid conditions, yet still good down to -20°C and likely -25°C, the extreme combination weighing just over 2kg). A protection flap on the outer side of the zipper keeps out wind and wetness. The outer shell is a super-light, highly resistant, microfiber nylon with a fine microporous coating which makes it waterproof. their is a generous zipper baffle on the inside of the zipper to prevent heat loss at the zipper.

The Defence 4 comes from the military sector and is one of the best-selling 3-season sleeping bags in its class. It is characterized by the center zipper and an extremely robust and waterproof outer material. The zippered cover flap protects against wind and moisture and the integrated zipper warming strip additionally prevents heat loss. 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. A third chapter would be Isbjorn in Heimdal / Norway, and I think there is also a last French production (Valandré, Wilsa, Lestra and Ardelaine) but that's it, as far as I am informed. And Cumulus down bags in Poland of course with civil lightweight stuff. Thermoflect increases the heat retention of a sleeping bag by around 11 %. Thermoflect is our solution to heat loss due to body radiation. Thermoflect is an ultra-light, ultra-soft, breathable scrim with the unique ability to reflect body-heat. cm modellen i Defence 4 soveposen er 185 cm, vejer 1850 gram og har en pakkestørrelse på ca. 25 x 39 cm. Derudover har soveposen en indvendig volumen på ca. 215 x 87 x 60 cm. Even when the sleeper moves about compressing the inner layer of insulation, the sleeping bag’s warmth is retained. Successive insulating layers are cut more generously. This ensures the greatest loft in all areas and in every position. Additional air cushions form between the various layers. Movement inside the sleeping bag creates pressure points, but with our differential cut only the innermost layer is compressed. The outer layers retain their loft and therefore their insulating properties.

Other beneficial features of G-Loft are its breathability and its ease of maintenance. Unlike many other types of synthetic insulation G-Loft doesn’t have a silicone coating to prevent moisture. It is highly moisture resistant, due to its design, but also highly breathable. This means that you don’t get too hot and sweaty in the bag like you do with other synthetics. It also means that you can air it out more rapidly in the morning before you put it away. G-Loft is also machine washable with ordinary washing detergent without losing performance. Comfort Limit temperature: A "standard man" with curled up posture is close to feeling cold but is "not feeling cold". Value for money 1-5: 5. You get what you pay for. Really high spec compared to competitors at the same price point. Defence 4 on makuupussi, jonka voi yhdistää kevyempään pussiin. Näin saat lisälämpöä ympärivuotiseen käyttöön. 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.

We offer next working day delivery, if placed before 1.00pm on our normal working days. Please call for costs. 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). TRIPLE-LAYER SANDWICH CONSTRUCTION WITH LOOSE SHELL 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. Makuupussissa on kahteen suuntaan avautuva vetoketju. Ylempi avautuu liukumalla eikä jumitu - näin käyttäjä pääsee hyppäämään pussista ulos nopeasti tilanteen niin vaatiessa. Alempi toimii kuten normaalit vetoketjut, ja sen voi avata ventilaation lisäämiseksi. 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 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!

The footbox is larger than in many traditional mummy bags, partly because military personnel sometimes have to sleep in their boots, but also because the Defence 4 is designed to host a lighter bag inside it. The trapezoidal design prevents the feet from compressing the insulation, creating cold spots. It also provides room to store a shoe/boot bag or spare clothing. 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. The final construction feature which is very good is the water resistant outer layer. I wouldn’t use it in the rain but, it will prevent your bag getting wet from condensation in your tent and if you press up against the side of the tent when moving in your sleep. Konstrukce:2-vrstvá sendvičová konstrukce, střih zužující se od ramen dolů, lichoběžníkový tvar prostoru pro chodidla, termoreflexivní izolační materiál If not, and that's why the armies obviously prefere that system, it's easier to put just the Tropen (or the not issued Brenta with warmth collar) into the Defence 4, what also can be done in a snow storm directly in the open because that's possible in a few seconds.We don't recommend using this bag without some form of over-head shelter, as although it's practically waterproof, prolonged precipitation will overwhelm it. Because we tend to talk about military gear people often don't notice, that Carinthia also offers more civil sleeping bags with slightly different cut and also colourful mountaineering sleeping bags. Two G-LOFT Plus insulation layers are arranged in such a way that the quilting is offset. The shell is attached afterwards, creating a further layer of air between the quilted insulation and the shell. With no stitch perforations in the shell, it is relatively water and airtight. The Defence 4 is the most popular and best-selling all-round sleeping bag, now available in Multicam! With excellent weight to stuff size and performance ratio. It is a well-established, threeseason 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.
