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 Woodland - Left
Robust sleeping bag in Woodland shade, featuring a mummy-style construction and built-in mosquito net for optimal sleeping comfort and freedom of movement. Crafted from premium polyamide, the sleeping bag is equipped with a reinforced outer layer and advanced G-Loft insulation.
Temperature and usage conditions
Svalbard sleeping bag temperature ratings in compliance with EN 13537 standard:
- T-comfort: 0 deg. C – represents the lowest temperature at which a woman can remain comfortably asleep through the night,
- T-limit: -6 deg. C – indicates the minimum temperature at which a man can sleep undisturbed throughout the night,
- T-extreme: -24 deg. C – defines the lowest temperature at which survival is possible; not recommended for routine use.
Shelltrans material
Constructed with an outer layer of lightweight, moisture-resistant Shelltrans fabric, which drapes loosely over the inner layer to create an extra layer of insulation. The lining features polyamide, offering minimal liquid absorption and superior tear resistance.
G-Loft filling, Thermoflect
The interior of the sleeping bag is equipped with lightweight synthetic G-Loft insulation, designed to deliver optimal thermal comfort. G-Loft insulation maintains its insulating capabilities even when exposed to moisture, during washing, or under heavy use. Enhanced by the Thermoflect layer, the design further boosts protection by reflecting body heat and keeping it within the bag.
The trapezoidal foot section provides maximum space for your legs while improving overall heat retention.

Camouflage Woodland
The Woodland camouflage, often referred to as U.S. Woodland or M81, debuted in the early 1980s with the US Armed Forces, evolving from the ERDL camouflage design. For over twenty years, it stood as the primary camouflage pattern for the US military, remaining in use until the close of the 2000s. Distinguished by its large, uneven shapes in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, the pattern offers superior concealment and distortion properties, especially within forested environments. Due to its remarkable effectiveness and worldwide recognition, many derivatives have emerged, making their way into the uniforms of more than 60 armed forces internationally. Its influence extends far beyond military circles, leaving a significant mark on popular culture and transitioning seamlessly into mainstream fashion.

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.
