Carinthia sleeping bags

[Brendan]

Hi does anybody know of any UK stockists of Carinthia defence 4 sleeping bags.
Here is the link to the main Carinthia site
http://www.carinthia-bags.com/home.htm
I know Dropzone were doing them but don't think they do any more.
A mate of mine rates the defence 4 in sub 0 conditions and it is only 1.8kg for a synthetic bag that is good from -15 to -34.
I have an issue carinthia twin bag system bought back from Bosnia which is very warm but it weighs over 1kg more than a defence 4 and I'm trying to lighten the load but still be prepared for anything.
A web search only reveals a couple of German sites, nothing in UK.
Thanks for any links

USMC is the only place i have found here that does these bags, do you know anyone who has one? i was looking at the X7 which one was you after?, i have the carinthia observer GTX bivvi bag and itsa top bit of kit :biggthump

Cheers guys, just emailed USMC to see if they can get hold of a type 200 Defence4.
As I said previously My mate I regulary go bushcrafting with uses the type 180 and he has been at -7c with just a basha as cover and he was more than comfortable in his. I need the bigboys version as his is a bit snug for me.
These blast away the competition bags for pack size and warmth to weight ratio for a synthetic based solution.
Its a shame there are not many dealers in the uk, these bags would take off with proper promotion.

I would say try shopping around as you will definitely pay over the odds buying anything from USMC. Don’t bother visiting the shop either as a lot of the kit they only sale on the website.

Its my local shop but it loathes me to pay there prices for anything.
