High‑quality sleeping bags for warm outdoor nights
What should be considered when using them?
Sleeping bags can be opened and closed with a zipper. Before getting into the sleeping bag, the zipper should be opened. Once your body is inside the sleeping bag, the zipper can be closed again. This allows optimal use of the available space. A small pack size is therefore extremely important.
The sleeping bags in our range are made from warming materials that are designed to be weather-resistant. This means that most variants can also be used outdoors. To ensure that the sleeping bag can be transported quickly and easily, it must be rolled up and then stuffed into a compression sack. At night, the sleeping bag protects you from the cold and ensures a cozy, warm sleep. The high quality of our sleeping bags guarantees a long service life.
Which sleeping bag is the right one?
You can hardly go wrong when choosing and buying sleeping bags from the range presented here. All our sleeping bags come in olive green or other greenish shades. This means they can easily be used for tactical maneuvers and are suitable for both summer and winter. They blend discreetly into their surroundings, are lightweight and do not give off any telltale color signals.
Sleeping bags come in different sizes. The various brands that specialize in sleeping bags, such as Carinthia, offer a wide range of types and sizes that should be adapted to your personal needs. A length of 200 centimetres should be sufficient even for the tallest user. It is important that the sleeping bag must not be too small under any circumstances. Otherwise it can get tight: this not only leads to poor heat generation and retention, but also to a feeling of constriction that promotes poor sleep. Large sleeping bags guarantee a maximum degree of freedom of movement, which contributes to an overall good feeling.
You should also pay attention to the weight of a sleeping bag, and an ultralight sleeping bag will not unnecessarily complicate transport.
Expert tip:
Washing/cleaning sleeping bags the right way
Normally you don’t absolutely have to do it, but every now and then a sleeping bag is simply due for a wash. Since this should only be done by hand, you will usually have to wash it in the bathtub. As a rule, the filling material should not play a major role here, but of course you must observe the manufacturer’s instructions and give these recommendations priority over any other tips.
It’s best to fill the bathtub with only a small amount of water and mix in detergent. If your sleeping bag has an inner liner, remove it beforehand. Then place the sleeping bag in the tub and knead it thoroughly. Once it has been cleaned as thoroughly as possible, you can drain the water and wring out the sleeping bag. Of course, you then need to repeat the process several times with clean water to rinse it out thoroughly.
For drying, it is recommended to set up a sturdy clothes rack in the bathtub and hang the sleeping bag over it, ideally with two people. A lot of water will drip off, so you should choose a place like the bathtub for dripping and drying.
After that, you can consider applying a waterproofing treatment. There are special sprays and products for this. If waterproofing is necessary, this is usually noted in the manufacturer’s care instructions.
Questions: sleeping bags
What sleeping bag shapes are there?
Rectangular sleeping bags: The classic sleeping bag shape, good for mild temperatures.
Egg- or teardrop-shaped sleeping bags
These are a good compromise between blanket and mummy sleeping bags. They are designed to offer more freedom of movement than rectangular sleeping bags.
Mummy sleeping bags
They can also be used at cooler temperatures and are ideal for winter, optimally adapted to the body’s warmth zones.
How do you find the right size/fit?
The main thing to bear in mind here is that any empty space in the sleeping bag, for example due to excess length, is difficult for your body to warm up. Even more important, however, is essentially finding the right shape for you, such as a mummy sleeping bag. This means that the shape of the bag is not straight but adapted to the shape of the body. Since any air pockets also have to be warmed up, such a shape is of course an advantage, as it minimizes these areas as much as possible.
Which features should you look for?
A hood or thermal collar can help prevent the body from cooling down in the head area. Zippers often also have a cover flap so that little heat can escape here as well and you are less likely to injure yourself.
What is the so-called differential cut?
Most modern sleeping bags consist of several shells, an inner and an outer one. These shells should be different sizes to prevent the filling from being compressed.
What does coupling mean in relation to sleeping bags?
If you want to use your sleeping bags as a blanket for two on holiday, you should make sure to buy two sleeping bags of the same model. This guarantees that the zippers will match up exactly. There is usually a right-hand and a left-hand model, which essentially only refers to the side on which the zipper is located. If you don’t need an insulated underside and there is no hood, you can also couple two right-hand or two left-hand models together.
What types of filling materials are there?
There are fillings made of down or synthetic fibers. Basically, there are no serious advantages or disadvantages, so you can decide fairly freely. The experience of long-time outdoor users shows that the often-cited complete soaking of down with moisture actually occurs only rarely. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you decide on a down sleeping bag, you shouldn’t cut corners in the wrong place and should place value on a high-quality down filling.
What is meant by so-called fill power?
With down, you should pay attention to the so‑called fill‑power rating, although the data provided by the manufacturer unfortunately does not necessarily have to correspond to reality. The values are given in “k/u”, cubic inches per ounce, e.g. 725 k/u. This explains why the information is often also given in “cuin”, which stands for “cubic inches”, i.e. likewise cubic inches.
What does swelling capacity mean?
Thanks to the unique G-LOFT® technology, the sleeping bags retain their insulating performance even in high humidity. They are durable, easy to compress and are used for both military and civilian applications.
What is the best way to store them?
As long as the sleeping bag has not become damp or even wet, after use and a period of airing it can simply be stored – not compressed – in one of the fabric storage bags sold, for example, for under‑bed storage. Alternatively, some outdoor fans wrap their sleeping bags in old duvet covers. The important thing is not to squash or compress it, as this would compress the filling too much, preventing it from fully lofting and thus from insulating properly. There are also special storage sacks; here everyone has to decide for themselves which option they prefer.
