Size chart Apparel

The size chart of the sleeping bags can be found in the item information of the respective sleeping bag. We recommend size M up to a height of 185cm, and size L from a height of 185cm.
 

G-LOFT® is a highly developed synthetic insulation material that provides excellent thermal performance, breathability and moisture management. It stays warm even when wet, dries quickly and offers high wearing comfort with low weight. G-LOFT® is used in sleeping bags, jackets and other cold protection products and retains its bulking and insulating power even after repeated washing.
G-LOFT® is an integral part of our product portfolio and is used in almost all CARINTHIA products.

More Information

We only use CARINTHIA CQ-DOWN™. This high-quality duck and goose down is produced and selected according to strict quality and due diligence criteria.

How do you assess the quality of a down filling?
All of the following parameters together determine the quality of the down:

The raw material

• The animal itself: Whether goose (= better because larger) or duck or the individual breed.
• The feed: grain, for example, is better for growth than grass.
• The climate at the breeding site: The colder the climate, the better the quality.
• The housing: Free-range and outside is better than stables or batteries.
• The age of the animal: down from older animals is better because it is bigger and stronger.
• The know-how and care taken during processing.

Ratio of down and feathers in the filling
Example: 90/10 goose down
90=down content in %, 10=feather content in %.

Important: The so-called weight percentages do not provide definitive information about the quality of the raw material.

The most important quality feature is the fill power of the down.

What does CQ-Down™ stand for?
We only use European duck and goose down with a fill power of 600 to over 800 cuin (= cubic inches). This high-quality material, which we have tested, is processed into CQ-Down™. CQ stands for Carinthia Quality and underlines the quality promise we make to our discerning customers.

Down as a filling material
Thanks to its three-dimensional structure, down binds a large amount of air in relation to its weight. Good down has around 2 million fluffy down “legs” that interlock with each other. They thus hold a layer of non-heat-conducting air that protects against the cold. Due to its good resilience, down can be highly compressed. If you shake it thoroughly after unpacking and give it air to “breathe”, it regains its original filling power and warms as well as before.

Where does the CQ-Down™ come from?
We source high-quality European goose and duck down from renowned German manufacturers. We only use goods that are not from live plucking!

FILLPOWER
The “fill power” (also known as “loft” or “fill power”) is the most important measure of down quality. It indicates the volume that a certain mass of down takes up after some time of compression.

CARINTHIA tests according to the “new” international method (which is recommended by the IDFB - International Down and Feather Bureau). Here, 30 grams of down are placed in a measuring device, which then loads the down with a defined weight for 1 minute. The remaining volume is read in cuin and shows the fill power of the down. The IDFB measuring method usually results in values about 5 % lower than the old American method. In addition, certain measurement tolerances must always be taken into account, as well as the fact that the fill power of down as a natural product varies by around 5% from sample to sample.

As a rule of thumb: the more cuin fill power, the better the heat retention.

In order to make the most of the warmth of your sleeping bag, you should pay attention to the following points:

- Using the right clothes in the sleeping bag:
Optimally, you carry in the sleeping bag a light base layer or pajamas. The more layers you carry in the sleeping bag, the faster you will cool off as a sleeping bag does not generate heat, it only stores and isolates the heat given off by the body.

- Use of a good sleeping mat:
If you want to sleep in your sleeping bag without too much of a cold, you should always remember to use a good mattress because the weight of the body compresses the layer to the ground and thus loses almost all its insulation.

- You should not undercooled put in the sleeping bag.
It's best to warm yourself up first so that there is always body heat to isolate.

- In the head area is lost most of the heat, therefore you should always tighten the existing hood completely.

Your CARINTHIA sleeping bag is currently not PFC-free, but we are working hard to avoid PFC completely in the future!

CARINTHIA relies on high-quality YKK zippers. In the following video, we explain exactly what you should pay attention to when zipping. You can find a short PDF guide here.

 

 

Sustainability and environmental protection are very important to us. For this reason, we deliberately refrain from sending printed catalogs.

Our sleeping bags are tested in accordance with EN13537 by an independent institute to determine the exact temperature specifications.

When buying a sleeping bag, the comfort temperature (T LIM) should always be used as a guide.
 

• T COMF: This value applies to a “standard woman” (25 years, 60 kg, 1.60 m) who is not yet cold.
• T LIM: This value applies to a “standard man” (25 years old, 70 kg, 1.73 m) who is not yet cold.
• T EXT: This value is calculated for a “standard woman” (25 years, 60 kg, 1.60 m) in extremely cold conditions where there is an increased risk of hypothermia.

A differential cut in sleeping bag construction refers to a special technique in which the outer and inner shell of the sleeping bag are cut in different sizes to ensure optimum thermal performance and fit.

In detail, this means

• The outside of the sleeping bag is cut larger than the inside. This creates more space for the insulation (e.g. filling material such as G-LOFT® or down), which means that the warmth can be retained better.
• This difference in size ensures that the insulation material remains evenly distributed without compacting, which could impair the insulating capacity.
• In addition, the differential cut allows the sleeping bag to fit the body better, which increases comfort and avoids cold spots (e.g. on the feet).

In short, the differential cut provides more space for insulation and a better fit, resulting in a warmer and more comfortable sleep.

An anatomically shaped foot section in a sleeping bag means that the area for the feet is specially designed to follow the natural shape of the foot. This has several advantages:
 

• Better fit: the foot section is wider in the toe area and narrower in the heel area, allowing for a better fit and less movement during sleep.
• Heat efficiency: The anatomical shape prevents heat from escaping, which improves insulation in the foot area and ensures that feet stay warmer.
• Comfort: An ergonomically designed foot section provides more space for the feet, which increases comfort, especially when moving your feet at night.

To summarize: An anatomically shaped foot section ensures that the sleeping bag is better adapted to the foot area, which improves both comfort and warmth performance.

A thermal collar on sleeping bags is a special, insulated extension in the neck area that serves to prevent heat loss and also protects the wearer from cold draughts.

The most important functions of a thermal collar on sleeping bags are
 

• Prevents heat loss: the collar seals the neck area and prevents warm air from escaping, which is particularly important on cold nights.
• Keeps cold air out: It protects against cold air getting in and ensures that body heat stays inside the sleeping bag.
• Increases comfort: The thermal collar helps to improve sleeping comfort at low temperatures by keeping out cold draughts.

Air your sleeping bag after every tour to avoid moisture and unpleasant odors that affect the insulation. Only wash your sleeping bag when absolutely necessary, as every wash reduces the insulation (down or synthetic) and its performance.

Care tips:

• Use a liner to protect the sleeping bag and avoid frequent washing. Most Carinthia sleeping bags are equipped with fastening loops for this purpose.
• Air the sleeping bag thoroughly after each use.
• Treat stains with a wet cloth and special detergent before washing the sleeping bag completely. Skin and hair residue often remains on the collar and head section in particular.
• Professional cleaning is only required for heavy soiling.

Washing the G-LOFT® sleeping bag:

• G-LOFT® is machine washable and suitable for tumble drying (gentle cycle, low temperature).
• Avoid high heat, bleaching, ironing and fabric softener.
• For hand washing: soak in warm water with synthetic fiber detergent, knead lightly, rinse several times.
• Wash in the washing machine at max. 30°C with mild detergent, close all fasteners before washing, turn sleeping bag inside out. Repeat the rinse cycles to remove any detergent residue.
• Dry in the open air or in the dryer (very low temperature), shake in between.

Washing down products

Only wash your sleeping bag or down jacket when it is really necessary. Instead, air them in the fresh air for several days. For light stains, it is sufficient to wash them out by hand.

• Hand wash:
  Soak the down product in lukewarm water with down detergent for several hours. Rinse several times and squeeze out carefully (do not wring out).  
• Washing machine:
  Use down detergent (no bleach or fabric softener) at max. 30°C on a gentle cycle. Only wash one item per cycle in a washing drum with a capacity of at least 7 kg. Repeat the rinse cycles to remove detergent residues. Spin max. 500 rpm.  
• Dry without dryer:
  Leave the down product to dry in the shade on a clothes horse. Press the down clumps apart every few hours and shake the item regularly. This can take 2-3 days.
• Drying with a dryer:
  Dry the down product individually at the lowest heat setting (cold) in a dryer with a capacity of at least 7 kg. Shake it in between. Finally, leave it to air dry for at least 24 hours.
  
   

If possible, store your sleeping bag (and down jackets) open and hanging or with the zipper open in the storage bag. Make sure that the filling has enough space to stretch and recover. Therefore, keep the sleeping bag loosely folded or loosely rolled up in the storage bag. The storage bag should only be used for transportation! Do not wrap the sleeping bag, but stuff it into the pack sack from the foot end with the zipper open. Rolling puts stress on the filling in the same places and can damage the construction.

In order to meet our high quality standards, we use high-quality loden from Tyrol, which consists mainly of sheep's wool and ensures optimum warmth and dryness thanks to its natural structure. The insulation material we use is G-LOFT®, developed and manufactured in Seeboden.

Proper care is important to maintain the insulating power in the long term. Loden products should not be stored compressed. Air them thoroughly after each use and hang them open to neutralize odours and dry the loden.
To refresh the color and bind odors, you can brush the outer fabric in the direction of the fibers with a clothes brush slightly moistened with vinegar water. Stubborn stains can be removed by lightly dabbing with a damp cloth and curd soap.

For heavier soiling, we recommend professional cleaning. Products with a loden outer fabric should not be washed. The removable foot sections of our seat products are made of a water and dirt-repellent fabric that can be machine washed at 40°C without any problems.

For this we often recommend our customers:

IMPRA WASH by Heysports (a washable impregnation for microfiber + Goretex)
NIKWAX (Cleaning, care and impregnating agent for functional clothing and outdoor equipment)
