A top-class sleeping bag with all the advantages of a centre front zipper which has proved its worth time and again on countless expeditions. It is filled with high-quality 90/10 goose down with a guaranteed fill power of at least 600 cuin. H-chambers, differential cut and trapezoidal food section with cross-baffles are proven quality construction features. Another important feature is the fully integrated pre-formed hood with draw cord that closes up to a very small breathing hole. It has a generous draft tube on the inside of the zipper to prevent any heat loss at the zipper. Additionally it has a protection flap on the outside to keep out wind and wetness. Supplied in a cotton storage-bag together with compression bag.

DOWN FILLING
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.
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.
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.
