Do you need to squeeze some sacks? Here you have an Austrian olive green compression bag that is perfect for e.g.Carinthia Defence 4 or some other 3-season sleeping bag. Many of these are made by Carinthia, but there can also be some other manufacturers among them, which is why we labeled these as generic. The sleeping bag is NOT included.

Features

These have a drawstring closure, three compression straps on the side, and a carry handle at the bottom. The ones that we checked were all made by Carinthia in 2007, but there can also be other manufacturers and other years in this batch. These are in olive drab, some a bit lighter, some a bit darker. In fashion magazines, you could fit ten fab shades in between these, but they are all fucking green. Besides, forest trolls won’t see a difference so who cares?

Measurements c. 25 x 45 cm (9.8” x 17.7”) when full but not compressed. Because there are bags from various manufacturers and different years in this batch, the sizes might vary a bit. In any case, you can fit a 3-season sleeping bag inside very nicely. Probably not a thick winter sleeping bag unless it is one of those high-tech down versions. You can also use these bags for other things, such as padded thermal clothing that you want to compress. Wash at 60 degrees Celsius (140 F).

Condition

Used Bundesheer, i.e. Austrian military surplus. These have some signs of use. For example, the PU coating on the inside is often flaking off. This just means that these aren't 100 % waterproof. The main fabric is still good to go for a long time to come.
