DEFENCE 1 TOP - SUMMER SLEEPING BAG
 
The Defence 1 is a Light-Weight sleeping bag with an extremely small stuff size and minimum weight. 
 
The shellproof shell fits loosely over the inner structure and provides an extra layer of insulation with no cold seams.  This construction ensures reserve warmth for cool, foggy nights. 
 
In warmer weather the bottom part of the two-way zipper can be opend for ventilation.  The zipper is non-snagging so that you can alway get out quickly and easily.
 
 
G-LOF T 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.
 
SINGLE-LAYER NOT QUILT ED WITH SHELL
In this lightweight design, the outer shell is loosely attached to the bag.  The G-LOFT Plus filling is quilted to an insulating scrim.  As a result, an additional air pocket is formed between the quilted insulation layer and the shell, yet no cold seams can occur.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
