The sleeping bag is definitely worth its price. Very warm and pleasant to the touch. Top quality. The zipper in the middle is a great solution, especially for people sleeping in a hammock. Tested on the ground at minus 3 degrees, and wearing only underwear, it provided thermal comfort. If it ever gets damaged, I know I will buy it again, I don't need to look for anything else. Although it is not ultralight, for Polish conditions and low mountains, this might be my last sleeping bag.
Carinthia Defence 4 Medium Sleeping Bag - MultiCam
Durable sleeping bag featuring MultiCam camouflage, mummy-shaped to support a comfortable body posture and provide freedom of movement during sleep. Constructed from high-quality polyamide, with a sturdy outer layer and synthetic G-Loft insulation.
Temperature range and usage conditions
The Defence 4 sleeping bag's operational temperatures are specified based on the EN 13537 standard:
- T-comfort: -8.8°C – this is the lowest temperature at which a woman can sleep soundly throughout the night.
- T-limit: -15°C – this is the minimum temperature where a man can rest without experiencing discomfort.
- T-extreme: -35°C – this is the lowest temperature for survival inside the sleeping bag. Regular use in these conditions is not advised.
G-Loft insulation, Thermoflect
The interior of the sleeping bag is filled with G-Loft synthetic down, which effectively supports thermal comfort. The insulating material maintains its properties even after exposure to water, washing, or heavy use. The Thermoflect layer reflects body heat and retains it inside, enhancing insulation performance. The outer shell is larger and doesn't adhere directly to the interior, creating an additional thermal barrier.
Sleeping Bag System - Tropen
The Defence 4 model serves as an outer thermal layer when paired with other sleeping bags. This setup enhances thermal efficiency, aids in moisture wicking, and boosts thermal comfort down to -20°C. Utilizing Sleeping Bag System - Tropen technology and advanced materials, it maintains a low weight and compact size when packed.
Central zipper, Anti Snag system
The sleeping bag is designed with a centrally located two-way zipper for complete opening. The Anti Snag system prevents fabric from snagging on the zipper. An insulated draft tube runs along the zipper to keep out cold air. A Velcro flap at the zipper's top prevents accidental unzipping. The trapezoidal footbox design provides more space for feet and enhances heat retention.
Integrated hood for cold protection
The model features a shaped hood with an adjustable face opening, which can be customized using drawcords to improve protection against the cold.
Easy transport and storage
With dimensions of just 25 x 30 cm when packed, the sleeping bag weighs 1850 g, ensuring it is both portable and reduces gear load efficiently.
Set contents
The set comes with a compression sack featuring snap buckles that safeguard the sleeping bag during transport and protect it from dirt and damage.

Camouflage MultiCam
MultiCam is an advanced camouflage pattern designed in 2002 by Crye Precision, a US company, in partnership with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) under the Objective Force Warrior program. The aim was to develop a versatile camouflage pattern effective in a variety of terrains and adaptable to changing environmental conditions. The MultiCam pattern features seven colors that create gradual transitions between green, brown, and beige shades. This allows it to seamlessly blend with its surroundings, showing green tones in forested areas or browns and beiges in desert settings. In Central and Eastern European environments, it is especially effective in autumn and amidst dry vegetation. MultiCam has achieved global recognition and is utilized by many military forces and special units. Adopted officially by the US Army in 2010 for soldiers in Afghanistan, this pattern replaced the previous Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). It is also accessible to civilian users and is a favored option among military and airsoft enthusiasts.

The sleeping bag stands out for its high quality, and thanks to the synthetic G-loft filling, it can be kept in a compression sack much longer than traditional down sleeping bags. G-loft does not clump and does not absorb moisture like natural down. Overall, the sleeping bag performs well in tougher conditions, is carefully made, and is trouble-free to use. I highly recommend it.

This is an excellent sleeping bag – precisely sewn, lightweight for its size, and very warm. The compression sack is sensibly designed. The price matches the quality, though it's not a cheap product. I plan to buy another sleeping bag for my daughter. The description largely reflects the actual state, and I hope the remaining advantages will also be confirmed. To sum up: WORTH RECOMMENDING.

So far, the hiking equipment has been reliable, providing warmth and comfort in difficult conditions. I hope this sleeping bag will also meet these expectations and that the positive reviews are not exaggerated.

Durable and well-insulating sleeping bag. It works great in spring and autumn. It provides a lot of comfort during sleep. If you often sleep in a tent, it is definitely worth buying. I definitely recommend it.
