Great video pal. No messing and straight to the point. What would be good to see is one these with an air Matt and a 5 season bag. Is there enough room or does the loft get compressed.

Thank you Tony 👍🏻 I have slept in it with a klymit insulated static v air mattress and my carinthia defence 4 sleeping bag and it was okay… not a huge amount of space left but I did sleep all right 😊. I will see if I can find time to shoot a short video in near future and post it here. Thank you for your comment Best Lars

@TONY PTAH : If you attach an air mattress to the loops under the bivy, you don't lose any height in the bivy. In winter I already did this together with a iso matt and air mattress together.

Have you done a winter overnighter with any of these and if you did, what kind of sleeping bag did you use, ive heard that a bivy ads 10C worth of value to your sleeping bag, what are your thoughts on it ?

Thanks a lot for this video. What’s your opinion about the GoreTex Gas permeable material vs the Dutch bivy material which is not Labeled by GoreTex?? Is it the same breathability ???
@zufuss
3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your question 👍🏻 Up till now I haven’t really felt much difference on the two bivys. Breath ability is fine on both so fare… the Dutch is a bit more “heavy duty” in the material and to be honest it seems more durable than the carinthia I have managed by accident to poke a small hole in already 🙈. And I always try to be careful with my gear..

Hello. I can see the Dutch army Bivi 24 years old. If you was me, would you buy a new Carinthia - XP II GORE-TEX Plus Bivy 1-person Tent.. or a really old carinthia Duch army bivi? It's a genuine question as I'm so torn between going for new but thinner so less quality or really old but thicker.. all being a risk of the gortex de lamenting due to age. What advice tou you guve me as imminnthe market for a purchase and came across this fabulous video ❤

That's a good question. Depends on what condition you are able to find the Dutch bivvy bag. Also are you going to use it a lot or only now and then and in which condition, with or without a tarp? Where are you located mate? Best Lars

@@zufuss Thanks so much for your reply.. I'd use it every night for months.. I live in the UK.. under a tarp. It rains alot here. Iseen this video kzitem.info/news/bejne/qnyvnJqkcZyAkqQsi=qCkJwNyilaP6fIuB so a tarp is essential imo for the constant use. I've heard that actual gortex in the carinthian de laminates as they were made 20 years ago.. that's my only thing holding me back.. but I loved the thicker build quality. Idk.. it would be under a tarp though. Best. Don.

Given they both have the same design and construction, where does the weight difference come in? What's different between the two that the Dutch is so much heavier?

Hi there and happy new year 🥳 thank you for your question. The material on the Dutch seams to be a bit more thick in the material and more sturdy. The Dutch one dos not read gore tex inside so what it’s made off I’m not sure of but it might explain the difference in weight. They both preforms well. Hope you can use my answer. Best Lars

It's in the outer fabric due to its thicker nature and IRR properties. The waterproof layer is brand Gore-Tex but not branded as such due to licensing etc.

some by Carinthia, some by Fecsa (Spain). The Carinthia ones are more difficult to come by, and at a higher price, as the zips on the Fecsas break more easily (according to KZitem users)

The first couple of years we got issued the bivy s and sleeping bag system made by Carinthia single and double hooped bivy 's and tropen and Defence 4 sleeping bag with thermarest sleeping mat. Later on du to saving money the Dutch army order them by Fecsa ....almost they same shit ....but not really like Carinthia quality.

About 1/3 of the price, spanish-made contract one (worse stitches and shit zippers are the only difference I've noticed) were about 1/4 last time I checked. And I'm still considering explorer for selection because of these fucking 300 grams -,- Oh, the dutch ones are supposedly made with a more breathable version of goretex also made by goretex, however due to licensing discounts and all that it's not marked as such

@@Sk0lzky I can confirm the worse stitches. With my original Dutch there are tow places where the stitch just went off the line, resulting in weakpoints. The zippers seem sturdy enough and do the job. But I can confirm the Material feel a lot more durable 👍 Overall I'd say if you get it for around 150€ it's a sweet deal if you don't mind the extra weight :)
