as military use. Deliveries are made to nearly
all European countries. In the product range
of sleeping bags and bivi bags, Carinthia has become one of
the leading European producers within the military field. And

For many years Carinthia has been doing research in
the processing of synthetic and down fillings. Carinthia
thermoinsulation provides the perfect equipment for any
expedition or mission. Outdoor experts are constantly included
into the development process resulting in high - performance
customised sleeping bags, tactical and outdoor products that
perfectly meet the requirements in any situation. Their in-
house research and development department carries out the
necessary lab and cold chamber tests for any new developments.
The main component of all the Carinthia products is the G-LOFT
fibre, which is produced in their Seeboden headquarters
Carinthia garments are developed specifically for challenging
mission environments. Their individual thermal
24
insulation products filled with G·LOFT insulation, are the result
of an intensive R&D program. Following extensive testing,
many European military forces opted for G·LOFT insulation.
Their high insulation garments and their high quality sleeping
bags are used by regular military as well as special-forces
units in operational deployments and normal field exercises.
Even under the most extreme climatic conditions G·LOFT offers
superior performance along with the comfort required for
effective rest. This extraordinary quality has been achieved
after years of systematic research using the natural properties
of goose down as the benchmark.
