    I've been Using, Selling, testing and recommending these Austrian Company, 100% European Made Bags for over 20 years.
    Probably the best made Sleeping Bags around for the great price you pay.
    I know there are some other great sleep systems out there. But these are used by several countries militaries.

    After -30F it pretty much the same inCelsius . So -40 is the same as -40 Celsius. I think I am going to pickup the 4 in multicam one day. Thank you for making this video. You could sell those and upgrade.

      I probably could.have to think about it. I really liked those Black Multicam versions. And the new ones are bigger bags. Thanks for the advice.

    I really really want to get a Carinthia Survival One. I absolutely love the idea of arm sleeves in the sleeping bag!
    Yes it's bulky but warm af and bomb proof.
    One day I'll have it.! 😄

      Howdy, I’ve had the chance to test one of these. Although it’s based off of the German bag with the same design. It’s colder. Firstly, the arms in the sleeves like this are cold. And because these sleeves have holes they allow cold arm to seep in. I even turned the sleeves inside out and it was still cold. Also the lover zippers allow more cold air to enter. Anyway, great idea. But not as practical. But they still sell.

      I have the carinthia survival one, i live in Quebec-canada and -29 celsius with only my polartec power grid base layer. I really really like the arm sleeve. It is a great sleeping bag, he do compress well but a little bit heavy.

    Swiss fellow here, I have a question about down sleeping bags since I'm pretty new to the subject. You mentioned that you don't recommend them in Switzerland due to the high humidity. Does their performance suffer in general or only when used alone?
    I was thinking of getting a Tropen and a Dutch bivy with either a bag like the defence 4 or a down bag on the inside for colder seasons. Would a down bag like the indian 1A (available on varusteleka) work on the inside or is the issue present regardless? (due to sweat for example)
    The down 1A packs down so much more than the Defence 4 that I'm tempted, but I don't want to get an unsuitable bag.
    Thank you for the informative content, it's nice to have someone who discusses gear suited to the local context!

      Carinthia developed a duel system for the Indian Army. Down inside and synthetic on the outside. The idea is that the synthetic would transfer the humidity from the down to the outside.

    Hi there, what is the Tisex sheeting that you refer to please ?

    • @mikebox
      @mikebox  11 месяцев назад

      Tyvex. This is a waterproof sheeting that builders place outside of a house that is sandwiched between the inner and outer facade of the house.

    I tell you what if you are easily annoyed then do not obtain a XP 1000 down bag as it has been over manufactured with velcro fasteners they are on both the outside and inside of the bag and the zip just gets stuck on both opening and closing it is an absolute nightmare nightmare to zip open and close, a stupid idea for a military sleeping system,

      I0'm rereading your comments, and chuckling. Because you are so right. I am a KISS kind of fella. So all of these extras are too much sometimes..
