    Carinthia Defence 4 - Long Term Review - The Best Bushcraft Sleeping Bag In The World
    The Defence 4 may be Carinthia's best all-around sleeping bag. Designed for cold and nasty weather, it's no surprise that (among others) also the Finnish army adopted this very model! This here is a reliable choice, designed for very demanding use!
    Three season bag with comfort rating as low as -15°C / 5°F
    Weight about two kilograms / a bit over four pounds
    Military-grade materials
    The Defence sleeping bag series is designed for military use, the materials and overall properties are all made with that in mind.
    Comes with a compression bag, which is compressional both height and lengthwise.

    I ordered a Defence 1 and they sent me a Defence 4 by mistake... they said I could keep it as it was an international order and too costly to send back..then sent me the Defence 1 as originally ordered. All for 85 pounds in a sale.. So far it just hasn’t been cold enough to try the 4 but I absolutely love the Defence 1 which is the exact same design just with less insulation for a comfort limit of 5 degrees.. It took all of about 5 minutes to become my all time favourite sleeping bag ever, and I’ve owned many including 3 Snugpak’s. The Defence 1 is definitely warmer than my Snugpak Tactical 2 which is rated for comfort at 0. I know this is a Defence 4 review...my point is I love the Carinthia quality design and performance.. These bags are so roomy which I love in a sleeping bag, comfortable and I love the easy open non snag centre zips after years of hassles with Snugpak zips.. (still love those too though) I thought maybe I’d be claustrophobic with the small face hole but actually it’s cosy and does a lot to retain heat. They are an excellent design. I wish I’d discovered Carinthia years ago but better late than never!... Your review helped me decide to get a Carinthia so I want to say thanks for that...reviews like these really help people to decide...

      Thanks for a wonderful comment, I have a love hate relationship with snugpak, their zips are terrible! Shocking! But your spot on with carinthia, your light weight bag might tie into your defense 4 to make a 5 season bag

    It's good that you are happy with the bag, but Carinthia has not made the bags in years, the British army were fobbed off with FECSA bags made by some mickey mouse outfit in Spain, basically they fall to bits moisture retention is so bad it can not be used in minus temperatures.
