I would disagree about the chest area. I am an average size guy and I feel like it’s a little snug in the shoulders. I have the us mss system. And the defense 4 in combo with the Tropen. The us mss gives me more space inside with clothes . The carinthia it’s a little warmer than the mss. It also packs smaller than the mss. It’s also extremely light. If the carinthia had more shoulder space it would blow all other sleep systems out of the water but with how tight it is in the shoulders and arm area makes me use the mss over my carinthia when it’s really really cold out.
I agree, the sleeping bag is unfortunately very tight. The idea of storing equipment inside is unrealistic. Additionally, the zipper quality is poor. I slept outside in -13 degrees Celsius over the weekend, and the zippers failed, forcing me to find alternative solutions. Great performance though, keep you warm. I use the military variant in the Swedish Homeguard (same brand).
I used my Defence 4 and Tropen together for the first time this weekend. It was only -5.7C, I was wearing 200 weight merino top and bottom and I still woke up cold and had to put on a down jacket. My sleeping mats had a combined R Value of 6.2. Was expecting to be toasty warm. What am I doing wrong?
That’s odd I have the exact same set up and I was extremely warm in -5F with a -30F windchill. But I will say the us modular sleep system has more room making it more comfortable
Sleeping undressed in a sleeping bag is the best way to stay warm. Only wearing underwear and socks for example is what I do, and keeps by toasty all night.

As long as you've eaten, and done some phys
so you get in hot, it keeps you that way in my experience
