Carinthia Tropen Lightweight Military Sleeping Bag (NATO)  £199.99

The Carinthia Tropen is a lightweight sleeping bag with an extremely small packing size and minimal weight.

Its remarkable feature is its vapour permeability which is very important for hot and humid tropical nights. The Shelltrans shell fits loosely over the inner structure and provides a layer of extra insulation with no cold seams.

The construction ensures reserve warmth for cool foggy night. In warmer weather the bottom part of the two way zipper can be opened for ventilation. The hood is equipped with a mosquito net which can be folded out of the flap if required (it is in the front of the bag and stored behind press-stud flaps). The net can be easily attached around the hood with a small zipper as required - this zipper is designed to be non-snagging so you can always get out quickly and easily.

Please note: this is a special order item and delivery time is 7-14 days. Delivery cannot be expedited by choosing express services.

The Carinthia Tropen has an operating temperature range of -12°C (Extreme) / 5°C (comfort)

The Carinthia Tropen can also be used as part of the Carinthia Modular Combat Sleeping System to provide protection in temperatures as low as -55°C

Features of all Carinthia sleeping bags are:

G-LOFT Plus Filling

Manufactured from high-quality bi-component polymers, the structure of G-LOFT insulation is in fact similar in many ways to high-quality goose down. The 3-dimensional crimping ensures maximum resilience and loft.

THERMOFLECT

Thermoflect increases the heat retention of a sleeping bag by around 11 %. Thermoflect is our solution to heat loss due to body radiation. Thermoflect is an ultra-light, ultra-soft, breathable scrim with the unique ability to reflect body-heat.

THE TRAPEZOIDAL FOOT SECTION

Experience has shown that the trapezoidal cut provides the ultimate foot space. In a normal sleeping position, the feet do not poke the
insulation outward, avoiding cold spots. There is also enough room to store a shoe bag or extra clothing.

THE MUMMY SHAPE

Here the criteria of stuff size, weight and warmth are most important. The tapered foot section reduces weight and stuff size. The main
advantage is, however, that from the knee downwards there is increasingly less internal volume to keep warm. The foot section should not be so small that the feet cause the layers of insulation to poke out. A trapezoidal foot section has proven to be ideal. A wedge shape, declining evenly in width from top to bottom, does not fit the true proportions of the body.

DOUBLE-LAYER SANDWICH CONSTRUCTION WITH LOOSE SHELL

Two G-LOFT Plus insulation layers are arranged in such a way that the quilting is offset. The shell is attached afterwards, creating a further layer of air between the quilted insulation and the shell. With no stitch perforations in the shell, it is relatively water and airtight.

TWO WAY ZIPPER

All Carinthia military sleeping bags are equipped with a two way zipper. The glider on the top does not snag, allowing a quick step out if
necessary (in case of alert for example). The glider on the down side does stick and can be opened for ventilation.

COMBINABLE SLEEPING BAG SYSTEM

Some of our sleeping bags can be combined to a sleeping bag system. Such a system can be used as a 4 Season Sleeping Bag and allows you to carry only the weight and the bulk necessary for the prevailing temperatures.

MOSQUITO NET

An integrated mosquito net for total sleep security and protection
