Additional Information
One of many features that distinguish the Carinthia Defence 4 sleeping bag is the robust zipper in the middle. You can easily and without problems get out of it if needed. The narrow neck opening in the Carinthia Defence 4 sleeping bag gives you two options for a good night's sleep in cold weather. 1# Wear a neck buff and hat, then zip the sleeping bag completely closed. It fits snugly around the neck and keeps the warmth inside the bag. 2# If it is very cold, you can advantageously crawl fully inside and only leave your mouth and nose exposed. Experiment to find what works best!
Is the Carinthia Defence 4 too warm for Denmark?
No, the Carinthia Defence 4 definitely is not. It is a perfect sleeping bag for the Danish climate, which is also why the Danish military issues these sleeping bags to conscripts and permanent staff. The Defence 4 sleeping bag is a three-season sleeping bag, well suited for spring, autumn, and winter. Therefore, it will be a good match for your outdoor trips about 75% of the year here! Many also choose to purchase a liner bag
(Carinthia polycotton liner) for it. It fits perfectly inside and attaches with the sewn-on buttons. This keeps your Defence 4 clean and tidy inside, and you only need to wash the liner bag if you sweat or otherwise soil it.

NOTE: As with the Defence 6 sleeping bag, there are many inquiries about this one, especially regarding length. The Defence 6 sleeping bag is only available in a 200 cm version, whereas the Carinthia Defence 4 sleeping bag is available in both 185 and 200 cm versions. IF you are not very tall, do not worry. Use the extra space at the foot end for your clothes and gear. If you have slightly damp clothes, it’s a great opportunity to dry them overnight. If you don’t care about the extra space and want to save weight, order the 185 cm version, provided you are shorter than 185 cm yourself.
