Carinthianin pussille iso plussa! Vaimolle ostin synttärilahjaksi muutama vuosi sitten ja on kehunut kovasti! Itsekkin kerran riippumaton kanssa testasin ja pärjäsi hyvin. Ylhäältä sen verran tilava että hyvä nukkuma-asento löytyy helposti. Helposti hintaansa parempi.

Or simply just use it as a quilt when its warm. My Carinthia Defence 1 is ISO-rated for 3 or 4 degrees celcius, and I use it more or less from feb-nov. I use it as a quilt on warmer nights, but keep my feet into the foot box (easier to ensure it stays on you that way). But not sure it would work for a "winter" bag, as a -14 bag would definitely be extremely warm at +15 or +20 even as a quilt.

If you're happy with synthetic materials, Carinthia, as far as I'm aware, makes its bags in the EU, including the filling. I've personally tested the Defence One down to its comfort limit of 4°C and was perfectly fine, even without a liner. So, for me at least, the temperature ratings are accurate. It also packs down quite small and weighs just over a kilo. I think they supply most militaries in Europe with their sleeping bags.

Carinthia Defense line. Goes to -30 degrees celcius (or more...) and won't break the budget.

I like my Carinthia but was baffled that it does not have a baffle which to my mind makes it unsuitable for cold conditions.
