British modular "Defence 4" sleeping bag, surplus
Unlike everyone else, the British army just could not make a sleeping bag deal with the Teutonic devil, which is Carinthia. So they did the next best thing and copied the Tropical bag and Defence 4 bag, which is this one, and called it the Modular Sleeping Bag System. So here's some proud English vision for sale!

- A three-season bag
- Durable and dependable
- Part of a modular system
- Compression bag NOT included
The most useful part of the British modular sleeping bag system is this three-season bag. What separates this military bag from many civilian ones is more bulk, stronger materials and a way cheaper price, being army surplus.
The bag is almost a direct copy of the Carinthia Defence 4 sleeping bag. There are not many British specialities in this one, except the tried and true mesh pockets for valuables and such. The colour is green, and every component is high-quality stuff. The opening can be adjusted and the bag has hook-n-loop tabs along the main zipper. On the inside there are attachment points for a liner bag, Carinthia's model will fit.
Materials and temperature rating
Made of strong nylon material, with hollow-fibre padding sandwiched on the inside. The comfort rating of this bag when new would be about -10° C / 14° F. No accurate info, though.
This bag is a part of a modular system: if one were to put the light summer bag inside this, the result would be a four-season bag.
Care
Machine wash at 40° C / 104° F if you absolutely have to. Hang dry. Washing sleeping bags should be avoided unless necessary.
The British army tells us these bags can be washed 20 times until their temperature ratings drop too excessively. These haven't been washed many times, hardly even once.
Size info
Available in two sizes according to user's recommended height. Even if you'd be a little taller, you should still fit inside.
Although a shorter person can sleep inside a too-large bag, there will be some extra room in the feet to be heated up, along with unnecessary bulk.
The following measurements are taken from the bag itself:
Medium
- Length: 190 cm / 6' 3"
- Shoulder width: 75 cm / 29.5"
- Weight: ~2000g / 4.4 lb
- Length: 205 cm / 6' 10.5"
- Shoulder width: 80 cm / 31.5"
- Weight: ~2250 g / 4.95 lb
Condition
Used, sometimes a bit seedy around the head but intact. We recommend washing the bag before use if you feel like it. Apparently, these are made by FECSA, a Spanish company that also made sleeping bags for the Dutch army at least.

Käytössä medium- koko, pituutta itsellä 173 cm ja aika normaalikokoinen muutenkin.
Tänä viikonloppuna kosteassa ja 10 asteen lämpötilassa, sisälakanan kanssa, tuli pussissa jopa hiki.
Saamastani pussista puuttui vetoketjun alapäästä lukko, ja ketju purkautui muutenkin herkästi keskeltä. Sain pussin vaihdettua, mutta seuraavankin vetoketju on kovin herkkä purkautumaan. Tiedä sitten olenko vaan kova potkimaan yöllä, vai mikä homma. Käytössä pysyy joka tapauksessa.
Kannattaa varautua pesemään tämä, kummatkin saamani pussit oli omasta mielestä vähän niljakkaita. Sopiva sisälakana on myös kova juttu!
EDIT. 2021 joulun alla tuli nukuttua yö -6-8 asteen lämmössä laavussa sisälakanan kanssa, ja kyllähän siinä tarkeni vaikka aamulla olikin jo aika kylmä.

Tämä makuupussi ei tietenkään ole kevyemmästä päästä, eikä pienin mahdollinen, mutta menee kyllä ihan hyvin tuohon Carinthian isoimman kompressiopussin sisälle lakanan kanssa.
Tosiaan omassa pussissa oli jotain likaa tuon pääseudun ulkopuolella, mutta henk. kohtaisesti se ei minua haittaa. Tämä on todella hyvä makuupussi tähän hintaan.
Niin ja jos tätä vertaa tuohon Brittien vanhempaan "Arctic" makuupussiin, tämä on huomattavasti lämpöisempi.

FIN:Terveisiä Tšekin tasavallasta, tilasin niin Defense 4: llä ja yhdellä pakkauspussilla, sain toisen ilmaisen lisäkorvikkeen ja kiitän Vikingsia hyvästä tuesta ja toimitusnopeudesta, makuupussi on täydellisessä kunnossa! Voin suositella, älä epäröi tämä on paras tarjous! :-)
GER:Grüße aus der Tschechischen Republik, ich habe so mit Defense 4 und einem Kompressionsbeutel bestellt, ich habe einen weiteren kostenlosen Ersatz bekommen und ich danke den Wikingern für die großartige Unterstützung und die schnelle Lieferung. Der Schlafsack ist in perfektem Zustand! Ich kann empfehlen, zögern Sie nicht, dies ist das beste Angebot! :-) :-)

Kun laittaa jalat reunoille jää nilkkojen väliin n 25 cm vielä tilaa...
Vaikuttas ettei makuupussia ole koskaan pesty kun ei ole merkintöjä ja muutenkin sen oloinen että on ollut vähällä käytöllä, materiaalit on todella kestävän tuntuiset, ei mitään siviili rimpulaa...
