Technical details and instructions

Materials

  • Shellproof outer shell - a lightweight, hard-wearing, ripstop reinforced and specially treated polyamide which is both wind and waterproof (1000 mm), yet breathable.
  • Shelltrans lining - a soft to the skin ripstop reinforced polyamide with excellent moisture-wicking capabilities keeps you comfortable through the night.
  • Thermoflect, a very thin, very lightweight aluminum material which reflects body heat. Thermoflect raises the sleeping bags heat-retaining capacity by about 11 %.
  • G-Loft filling - Carinthia's own, in-house hollow fiber, 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.
  • Double layered G-Loft filling. Two G-LOFT Plus insulation layers are arranged in such a way that the quilting is offset. The shell is attached afterward, creating a further layer of air between the quilted insulation and the shell. With no stitch perforations in the shell, it is fairly water-resistant and free of unintended ventilation.

Carinthia sleeping bags are not entirely PFC-free, but do have the Oeko-Tex certificate, Standard 100.

Temperature specification

Tested according to ISO 23537 / EN 13537, where "Comfort" represents a standard female sleeping comfortably in a relaxed position, and "Lower Limit" is where a standard male can sleep for eight hours without waking in a curled position. "Extreme" is not relevant to the common user: it's the temperature where a standard female can survive for six hours without dying of hypothermia.

  • Comfort: -8.8 °C / 16 °F
  • Lower Limit: -15 °C / 5 °F
  • Extreme: -35 °C / -31 °F

The values are comparable between manufacturers who conform to the standard. Note that some manufacturers label the Comfort as "Female Comfort," and the Lower Limit value may be presented as "Comfort Limit."

If you're a "warm sleeper," look at the Lower Limit figure when choosing a suitable sleeping bag. If you get cold easily, look at the Comfort rating instead. Quite simple.

Description

When looking for a year-round sleeping bag, you can't go wrong with the current-issue Finnish army gear. These are made by Carinthia; the model is in use by our armed forces. Included are a liner and a compression sack.

  • Three-season bag with a Lower Limit of -15°C / 5°F
  • Weight c, 2 kg / 4.4 lbs, or 2.8 kg / 6.1 lbs. for the set
  • Military grade materials
  • Spark-protected foot end
  • Cotton liner included!

As this is designed for military use, the materials and overall properties are all made with that in mind, so the emphasis is more towards durability and reliability.

It comes with a compression bag that compresses both height- and lengthwise. Also included is a liner bag to extend the life of the sleeping bag itself—just wash the liner when required and leave the bag alone.

Bag model

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 that from the knee downwards, there is less internal volume to keep warm. A wedge shape, declining evenly in width from top to bottom, does not fit the true proportions of the body.

Two-way zipper: All Carinthia military sleeping bags have a two-way zipper. The upper glider does not stick, allowing a quick step out if necessary (in case of alert, for example). The bottom glider is stickier and can be opened for ventilation.

Trapezoidal foot section: 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. Moreover, a Finnish specialty is an extra fire-retardant fabric on the outside to prevent sparks from damaging the bag.

The outer shell fits loosely over the bag's innards, providing an extra insulating layer of air. This also eliminates heat loss due to seams, combining the shell and fillings. Overall, this feature enhances the bag's performance considerably!
