A really solid sleeping bag. I slept in it at -5°C on a sleeping pad with an R-value of 3.4 and felt comfortable. I’m 187 cm tall, have fairly broad shoulders, and weigh around 112 kg, so in terms of width it is a bit too tight for me. On the downside, its weight and packed size could be considered drawbacks. Other than that, it’s all positives—solid workmanship, good materials, and careful stitching. I expect it will serve me well for a long time. I’ve been using it for about a year now.

G-Loft insulation, Thermoflect
A core of lightweight synthetic G-Loft insulation provides reliable warmth within the sleeping bag, maintaining its insulating performance even when exposed to moisture, repeated washing, or heavy use. An integrated Thermoflect layer enhances heat retention by reflecting body warmth back toward the user and trapping it inside the sleeping bag. The outer shell is purposefully designed larger than the inner lining, preventing direct contact and forming an extra layer of insulation.
Sleeping Bag System - Tropen
The Defence 4 model can be used in combination with other sleeping bags as an outer insulating layer. This solution ensures high thermal efficiency of the system, good moisture wicking, which translates into thermal comfort at temperatures down to -20 deg C. The innovative Sleeping Bag System - Tropen technology and the materials used ensure low weight and take up little space in your equipment when packed.
Central zipper, Anti Snag system
Equipped with a two-way central zipper for complete opening, the sleeping bag integrates an Anti Snag system to prevent the fabric from catching in the zipper. An insulated flap lines the zipper, offering protection against cold air intrusion. A Velcro tab at the top secures the zipper to prevent accidental opening while sleeping. The trapezoidal foot section is designed to maximize foot space and enhance heat retention.
Integrated hood for cold protection
Equipped with a contoured hood featuring an adjustable face opening, individual customization is possible through drawcords.
Easy transport and storage
Compact when packed, the sleeping bag occupies minimal space, allowing for effortless transport and storage. With packed measurements of 25 x 32 cm and a weight of just 2000 g, gear load remains light and manageable during your mission.

G-Loft insulation
G-Loft insulation is an advanced material consisting of a three-dimensional structure of hollow polyester fibers that trap dry air to form an effective thermal insulation layer. These fibers retain their shape thanks to a memory effect, allowing them to return to their original form after getting wet, washing and heavy use. G-Loft, used mainly in outdoor clothing and equipment, combines the characteristics of natural down and synthetic fill, offering excellent thermal insulation, lightness, resilience and moisture resistance.
Anti Snag
Anti Snag is a technology used in sleeping bags to prevent the zipper from snagging. Thanks to the use of a special anti-snag tape along the zipper and an external protective strip, the risk of snagging the fabric when zipping or unzipping the sleeping bag is minimized. Such a solution not only makes it easier to operate the zipper, but also increases the durability of the product, protecting the fabric from mechanical damage.
Thermoflect
Thermoflect is an innovative reflective material that enhances the thermal insulation properties of clothing and sleeping bags by reflecting the heat emitted by the body. It provides a thin, lightweight layer integrated directly into the product's construction. It works on a principle similar to that of an emergency foil, improving thermal efficiency without a significant increase in weight or volume. Thanks to its breathable properties, it prevents overheating and moisture buildup, ensuring high comfort.

Great sleeping bag. Together with the Carinthia Observer Plus and the Snugpak Special Forces bivi bag cover, it's a very good combination for my needs. It's a bit large, but compression helps to reduce the size - Carinthia provides that. I recommend it.
-
One of the best winter sleeping bags on the market. I have been using it for almost 10 years and it still holds up. It provides good warmth, breathes, and wicks away moisture. High quality workmanship and premium materials. Takes up a lot of space in the backpack.
-
I slept in it in below-zero temperatures and I can honestly say that it did its job, and even though I am sensitive to cold, I was very warm in it.
-
Very warm sleeping bag as described. Maintains thermal comfort even in damp and wet conditions. I've had the sleeping bag for several years and it still maintains its quality. It was washed with dedicated products and has not lost any properties.
