I bought this product with the upcoming summer months in mind to use while camping under a tarp. A plus is the integrated mosquito net, which allows me to sleep without having to put anything over my head. I was positively surprised by the small size and lightness of the sleeping bag when packed. The insulation is not great, so the sleeping bag is mainly suitable for summer, but when combined with a liner or bivy bag, it can be used at lower temperatures than suggested by the manufacturer.
Carinthia Tropen Large Sleeping Bag - Olive - Left
Durable sleeping bag, in green, with a mummy-type construction and a built-in mosquito net, ensuring comfortable body positioning and unrestricted movement during sleep. It is made of high-quality polyamide, with a durable outer shell and G-Loft filling.
Temperatures and conditions of use
The operating temperatures of the Carinthia Tropen sleeping bag specified in accordance with EN 13537:
- T-comfort: 9,4 degrees Celsius - the lowest temperature at which a woman can sleep comfortably through the night,
- T-limit: 5,1 degrees Celsius - the minimum temperature at which a man can sleep through the night without discomfort,
- T-extreme: -7,9 degrees Celsius - the lowest temperature at which one can survive in the sleeping bag. This is not a value recommended for standard use.
Shelltrans material
The outer layer is made of lightweight and moisture-resistant Shelltrans material, which loosely adheres to the inner part, creating an additional layer of insulation. The interior is made of polyamide characterized by low liquid absorption and high tear resistance.
G-Loft filling, Thermoflect
The inside of the sleeping bag is filled with lightweight synthetic G-Loft down, which is responsible for maintaining thermal comfort. The insulation retains its thermal insulating properties even after getting wet, washing, and intensive use. The Thermoflect layer provides additional protection by reflecting the heat emitted by the body and retaining it inside the sleeping bag.
The trapezoidal construction in the foot area provides maximum legroom, and additionally helps retain heat better inside.
Sleeping Bag System - Defence 4
The Tropen model can be used in combination with other sleeping bags as an inner insulating layer. This solution ensures high thermal performance of the system and good wicking of excess moisture, which translates into thermal comfort at temperatures down to -20 degrees Celsius. The innovative Sleeping Bag System - Defence 4 technology and the materials used ensure low weight and take up little space in your equipment after packing.
Left-side zipper, Anti Snag system
The sleeping bag is equipped with a two-way zipper located on the left side, allowing full opening. Thanks to the Anti Snag system, the material does not get caught in the zipper. A velcro flap located at the top of the zipper prevents it from opening during sleep.
Integrated hood for protection against the cold, built-in mosquito net
The built-in hood in the sleeping bag increases thermal protection by wrapping around the head and preventing heat loss during low temperatures. Its shape also provides additional protection against wind and moisture. The sleeping bag is equipped with a built-in mosquito net, placed in a flap with snaps on the front, which is fastened around the hood with a zipper.
Convenient transport and storage
The sleeping bag is 230 cm long, 87 cm wide at the top, and 65 cm wide at the bottom. It weighs approximately 1300 g. When packed, the sleeping bag measures approximately 19 x 25 cm.
Set elements
The set includes a compression sack with snap buckles, which secures the sleeping bag during transport and protects it from dirt and damage.

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 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 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.
Shelltrans is a lightweight material used as the outer shell of sleeping bags and the lining of jackets. Thanks to its loose fit, it creates an additional layer of insulation, increasing the thermal efficiency of the product. It is distinguished by its high resistance to moisture, effectively protecting against adverse weather conditions.

The sleeping bag, although not cheap, is the best in its temperature class. Thoughtful construction and great material quality, the mosquito net does the job. It does not lose its insulation properties in humid conditions. The inner material is very pleasant to the touch, which is important when sleeping in just boxers. Moisture from inside the sleeping bag is quickly wicked away and the inner layer of the material remains dry.

One of the best three-season sleeping bags on the market. I have been using it for almost 10 years and it still works great. It provides good warmth, breathes, and wicks away moisture. High quality craftsmanship and premium materials.
