This sleeping bag is significantly different than any other bag I have owned. It’s made for warm weather and it may seem odd to use a sleeping bag when it’s hot out but this bag somehow is able to keep you cool at the start of the night while it’s still warm outside but then as the sun goes down and the temperature drops it also keeps you warm some kind of weird magic must be involved in the creation of this bag to be able to do that. It’s not the lightest sleeping bag, but it’s made extremely well and is a bag that should serve you well for a very long time unlike other bags that while being ultralight also are super fragile and only last a short time. I also like the zippers, they don’t bind up or catch on the fabric - just easy open and close. The stuff bag is also well built and is big enough to be able to get the sleeping bag back in it without a fight but can also squeeze it down significantly to save space. Excellent product, I highly recommend it.

Warm enough for summer and indoor use. High quality, doesn't make you sweat and packs down into a small space. Comes with a good compression bag.

looks good, I haven't slept yet

It works. I recommend wearing a cap under the mosquito net so that the net is not on your face.

Great bag for milder weather and I bought this to supplement my survival one if needed on trips. The mosquito net is a plus so people can't get in when you get tired under the tree.

Summer bag with mosquito net. When it was +3’C in the tent, it started to get cold (male 180cm/90kg) even though there was an R5 sleeping pad underneath and layers on. Maybe a little light for the early/late Finnish summer. The reliability of the zipper is a big deal. No fabric gets caught.

High quality. That's the first word that comes to mind. 8 years since purchase and still completely intact after several hundred nights of sleep in varying conditions.

Super comfortable. Feels like high quality.

A good sleeping bag for hammocking without a mosquito net, because it is included in the bag

High quality and comfortable. The mosquito net protects against mosquitoes, but without earplugs you will still go crazy. A good summer bag.

Way cheaper than buying it locally in Australia

A really comfortable sleeping bag for indoors or as a three-season outdoor bag. 10C started to be a bit cold in the hammock, because the sleeping bag doesn't insulate well when flat. The comfort is perfect, the zipper is very good. The mosquito net requires some kind of tuning so that they don't get through the net to get bitten, but it helps nonetheless.

I brag unreservedly. A comfortable spring/early autumn sleeping bag. With the inner bag, it will probably last a little longer until autumn.

3 nights with children in a tent. The bag works well. At 188 cm tall and 92 cm tall, you can move around a bit without looking and feeling like a caterpillar in a 200 cm bag.

Nothing extremely warm, but as a summer bag and indoor accommodation it does its job and with suitable clothing (= thick merino layer + marine socks) you can survive +10°C. Comfort +5°C then already requires full clothing. The bag is spacious for a normal-sized (183 cm / 83 kg) guy, so if you hate the "coffin-like" sleeping space of most bags, then this is the bag for you. The mosquito net is functional and at least I myself have found the "setting values" for the hood without needing a baseball cap or electrical wire adjustments made in the drawstring alley to keep the net away from the face.

Pleasant experience.

good quality materials. a good sleepingbag for larger people, i can still move inside the bag. tested of few nights in summer: for 15degree night it felt a bit to warm.

A great sleeping bag for all uses. Expandable with any other sleeping bag for all seasons.

A good summer bag. The zipper opens easily but not unintentionally, which is only a plus. The design of the head opening is also more suitable for summer than, for example, in Defense 1.

High value sleeping bags

A quality sleeping bag. Goes into a small space. It worked well in the wilderness cabin in winter (+10).

Close to rating, small/light, nothing fancy, good price.

High-quality and good summer bag. +Mosquito net

Multipurpose bag. In addition to summer use, it is large enough to act as the outer shell of a down bag in winter to move the dew point to the artificial fiber and smooth out cold spots. The mosquito net is an excellent feature if you sleep outside the tent or in a tent without a mosquito net.

Guaranteed Carinthia quality.

No User experience yet, with defense4 while waiting for tougher frosts. Compact.

Seems like an excellent quality product. The packaging bag also works well. Tested at the stated comfort temperature without clothes and very well noticed that the stated temperature is very true. Excellent product in every way!

High quality bag, I also took Defense 4 to combine with this.

A really good bag. Maybe too slippery and plastic feeling for me, although not the most plastic compared to others. The mosquito net seems like a great feature and doesn't hurt anything wrapped around the collar.

Price / quality SUPER!

Good sleeping bag, although a bit cold in Finland. With the merino wool layer above, this comfort level is 12 C according to the experience of a couple of summers. The mosquito net works perfectly, and even better when you sleep with a top hat on. The only thing that bothers me is that the zipper is on the side and not in the middle, but that's probably purely a matter of taste

I bought this as a summer bag and for cold weather as a companion to the Defense 4. The bag is guaranteed Carinthia quality. Nice wide shoulders and legs. The zipper opens easily just by pulling the bag open. The insect net is a good addition, although a bit uncomfortable without mods. Protip: It is recommended to thread (coated) iron wire etc. into the strips of the sleeping bag so that the insect net can be shaped away from the immediate vicinity of the face. If I would change something, I would add a small chest pocket for earplugs, etc. But even simple is beautiful.

A good sleeping bag for summer nights in the countryside or at the cabin. For spring and autumn, I would rather take Carinthia defense 4 or something similar. The mosquito net in the mouth sounds good in the text, but the execution could be improved. Using the net inside the sleeping bag is awkward and the net itself does not breathe as well as I expected. Otherwise, the bag is guaranteed Carinthian quality.

Good value for money. Packs up reasonably compact to be a fiber bag. The integrated mosquito net has not yet been tested.

The 200cm size sleeping bag was really comfortable for a 191cm sleeper. Light and packs into a small space.

Excellent from spring to autumn. High-quality up to the water tank and goes into a small package with the help of a compression bag. I recommend, for example, Carinthia Grizzly as a pair, which is better as an inner bag than an actual inner bag.

Light, durable, warm and easy to care for

I slept well even at +6 degrees. I personally didn't like the combination with defense 6, when the face rarely meets the openings and condensation comes from breathing into the bag. Fully functional on its own.

There is nothing wrong with this sleeping bag. I don't really trust the mosquito net, but otherwise great

High quality, very well

The spacious, longer model is actually sufficient for a 200 cm tall sleeper. High-quality zipper.

It doesn't weigh much, packs well on the bottom of the chest, and is comfortably warm for its weight. Mosquito protection has not been tried. In the winter it worked well with Defense Nelonen. Works.

A good option on top of a down bag for necessary use as a layer of condensation moisture and for heating. The manufacturer has an even lighter option for this, but less available.

A great sleeping bag for summer and autumn use. In winter, you can throw defense 6 as a friend in cold weather.

Excellent sleeping bag

Not as breathable as I thought but overall a very good product.

A handy sleeping bag for mild weather.

I bought this to use as a system with the carinthia defense 4. I'm 182cm tall, bigger sized feet, and broad shouldered. I fit very comfortably and can sleep on my side. It is on the bulkier side, but it is very good value for the performance and features it has. I had considered the Defense 1 instead of this, but found the D1 to be too tight and snug for my liking. It fits well inside the Defense 4 and there is good room to move. I am yet to test it in this configuration as I have not camped in Winter yet. There was a manufacturing issue with the bag, when the went to unbutton the mosquito net, one of the buttons on the collar was pulled out. I contacted varuste by email and was able to swap it for a replacement bag in-store. Great service from them! 5 stars for the value, but lost 1 star for the defect and overall bulkiness and weight.

The best sleeping bag and excellent pair of horns with Defense 4.

Great summer bag! The built in mosquito net works.

Good quality, best choice for summer

Perhaps because of my short height, the sleeping bag was large, so there was space for my feet, which made me feel a little cold. So I additionally purchased a Carinthia windstopper. Although it is for summer, if you prepare a mat or clothes well, I think it can be used in late autumn in Korea. However, it seems that it will be a little hot in summer, so I will be able to leave a proper review after using it this summer.

I have used this in both summer and winter, down to a little below freezing. Was comfortable throughout most of the season, and paired it with a sleeping bag liner and good pad, and slept very comfortably even when it was below freezing.

My new favorite summer sleepingbag. I'm also anxious to try it out in the jungles of South-East-Asia when the whole COVID-situation settles.

My impression of the quality of the bag and te x zipper. Did not try it out when writing this review.

Fits into a small space, materials of high quality, a mosquito net becomes necessary which sleeps in the sky

The first week was spent camping and it was a great experience. The bag is comfortable and you can appreciate the breathability in the summer. Goes into a small space. When motorcycling, I pack without the protective bag as it is in the side bag to save space.

Functional and durable sleeping bag for Finnish summer conditions. The zipper of the mosquito net coming to the face is really thin, so when putting it on, care must be taken that the seam, etc. of the sleeping bag does not get caught. Would have put a decent Kroko / YKK zipper on the mosquito net .. 4/5, quality game still!

I tried that March-April stage at minus zero limits with a hammock and an underblanket under the carpet, I got surprisingly well at the limits of freezing with light clothes on. Really soft fabric also against the skin, keeps the heat when you get it warm by lying down for a while. Price/quality ratio good 👌
