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 - Olive
Rugged sleeping bag in Olive hue, featuring a mummy shape for optimal body positioning and unrestricted movement during rest. Constructed with premium polyamide, boasting a durable exterior and filled with synthetic G-Loft insulation.
Temperature range and usage conditions
According to the EN 13537 standard, the operational temperatures of the Defence 4 sleeping bag are defined as follows:
- T-comfort: -8.8°C – this is the lowest temperature at which a woman can sleep comfortably through the night.
- T-limit: -15°C – refers to the minimum temperature at which a man can sleep without feeling discomfort.
- T-extreme: -35°C – indicates the lowest temperature at which survival in the sleeping bag is possible. Regular use at this temperature is not advised.
G-Loft insulation, Thermoflect
The sleeping bag's interior utilizes G-Loft synthetic down to effectively sustain thermal comfort. This insulating material preserves its qualities even after exposure to water, laundering, or extensive use. The Thermoflect layer reflects body heat and secures it within, enhancing insulation efficiency. Its outer shell is expanded and does not cling directly to the interior, forming an additional thermal barrier.
Sleeping Bag System - Tropen
The Defence 4 model is designed to be used in conjunction with other sleeping bags, serving as an outer thermal layer. This setup enhances thermal efficiency, aids in moisture management, and boosts thermal comfort in temperatures as low as -20°C. The Sleeping Bag System - Tropen technology, along with modern materials, contributes to reduced weight and a compact size when packed.
Central zipper, Anti Snag system
The sleeping bag is equipped with a centrally located two-way zipper, allowing it to be fully opened. The Anti Snag system ensures that fabric does not get caught in the zipper. There is an insulated draft tube along the zipper to prevent cold air from seeping in. At the top, a Velcro flap secures the zipper to prevent unintentional opening. The trapezoidal footbox design provides extra space for the feet and enhances heat retention.
Integrated hood for cold protection
The model comes with a shaped hood featuring an adjustable face opening, which can be personalized with drawcords to improve protection against the cold.
Easy transport and storage
When packed, the sleeping bag occupies minimal space—25 x 30 cm—and weighs 1850 g, ensuring easy portability and reducing gear load.
Set contents
The set comes with a compression sack featuring snap buckles, which safeguards the sleeping bag during transit and protects it from dirt and damage.

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.
