This high performance winter sleeping bag was especially designed for military use. It has generous draft tubes on the inside of the zipper to prevent any heat loss there. Anti-snag tape along the zipper and a protection flap on the outside keep out wind and wetness. The SURVIVAL ONE has a differential cut which means that each successive insulating layer is cut more generously. This ensures the greatest possible loft in all areas and in every sleeping position. Movement inside the sleeping bag creates pressure points but with our differential cut only the innermost layer is compressed. By opening the zipper at the bottom you can get your feet out if you want to step outside. You can tie up the foot end so that you can walk and even wear the bag like a coat. The sleeves are stored between the insulation layers.

Super good sleeping bag ☺.
The only minus is the weight, but that's understandable when it's not a down bag but a fiber bag. Down sleeping bags are claimed to be washable: just ask how many people have been perfectly successful in washing a down sleeping bag repeatedly? Probably only very few, maybe 5%.
This sleeping bag is made mainly for military use, i.e. to withstand all possible conditions + to survive washing again and again. Also, you won't be afraid of getting wet during use, which Down bags usually cannot withstand.
-length a little guessed according to the spec: The length is suitable for me (180 cm man, wide at the shoulders), fits well inside the bag.
The sleeves work well, as does exposing the legs, e.g. for sitting by the campfire or otherwise moving around.

This sleeping bag is really as performant as described in most reviews. Very good insulation, so if the weather is a little less cold, it could become a little too hot in this sleeping bag. Since a sleeping bag can only retain the body heat to create a warm environment, a little trick I use when the weather turns a little warmer is to put on an extra layer of clothing, such as a fleece. This extra insulation prevents the body heat of reaching the sleeping bag and thus gives a slightly cooler experience. All in all I am very satisfied with this performant and very versatile sleeping bag.

I have the Carinthia Tropen, Defence 1, and Finnish version of the Defence 4. I wanted a dedicated roomy cold weather bag for Canadian winter conditions, and one in which I had greater mobility - such as use of my arms and legs when needed. The Survival One was very well reviewed, and appears as durable as advertised. I look forward to testing it in cold weather activities this winter.
