Carinthia

Carinthia, products for extreme conditions

The story of the brand Carinthia began in 1975 when its founder, August Mayer, started to explore synthetic fibres. He noticed that they offered better insulation properties than natural down. From that point on, these fibres became central to most of the products designed by the engineer, and innovation became the cornerstone of the brand. By the late 1970s, August Meyer developed a production unit aimed at manufacturing insulating materials with extraordinary characteristics. G-Loft was born, and Carinthia equipment is now exported to nearly 70 countries. The brand quickly gained a reputation for its high-quality gear. By 1982, the Austrian army was using sleeping bags from Carinthia. The Swiss army followed suit six years later. But the Austrian brand didn't stop there; it offers a complete range of weatherproof clothing. The Carinthia jackets, such as the G-Loft ESG Jacket, are ideal for thermal protection on the coldest days. Warm, lightweight, and breathable, they provide perfect protection and can be worn both in the city and during ski touring sessions. Featuring the famous G-Loft insulation, these men's jackets are essential gear to always have on hand!   

Carinthia clothing, a barrier against the cold

Like its jackets, Carinthia specializes in designing clothing and equipment intended to protect you from the cold or the elements. Thus, the waterproof jackets from the Austrian brand ensure total resistance against torrential rains. The PRG 2.0 Jacket model, for example, features a Gore-Tex® membrane that guarantees waterproofing, as well as wind protection while ensuring good ventilation and excellent moisture management. And to top it all off, the company offers waterproof trousers, allowing you to walk or engage in sports activities in the rain without discomfort. The G-Loft Windbreaker Trousers are the ideal ally for anyone wanting to venture out when conditions are less than perfect. With an insulating lining, this Carinthia trouser is developed to military standards, which speaks volumes about its design! In addition to high-end clothing, the company stands out with its warm, compressible, and highly efficient sleeping bags. The Tropen down sleeping bag, a reference among the brand's products, is perfect for cold nights thanks to its G-Loft insulation, mummy shape close to the body, and heat reflectors. And when temperatures rise, the zippers allow for additional ventilation.
