CARINTHIA® is an Austrian manufacturer of top-tier equipment for extreme environments, renowned for its sleeping bags, bivy sacks, and insulated clothing used by military forces, special units, and outdoor enthusiasts. The company’s products are deployed in the harshest climate conditions and trusted by armed forces from more than 15 countries worldwide. The CARINTHIA® brand, operating under Gold.Eck, has over 60 years of experience in producing functional gear and specializes in G-LOFT® insulation — a revolutionary synthetic material with a memory-effect structure, offering an unmatched ratio of warmth, weight, and packability. G-LOFT® was engineered to mimic the benefits of down while delivering all the advantages of modern synthetics — moisture resistance, shape retention, and easy maintenance.
CARINTHIA® sleeping bags and garments are used daily in active deployment and have passed extensive testing across European militaries. Through meticulous manufacturing and uncompromising quality, the brand has secured a strong position within the military and tactical–outdoor sector. Their products combine G-LOFT®, Gore-Tex®, and Windstopper® to ensure maximum protection and comfort even in arctic regions.
Beyond military contracts, CARINTHIA® also focuses on the civilian market, offering equipment for mountaineers, expedition teams, and anyone operating in high-altitude or cold environments. All manufacturing takes place in Austria, in an ISO 9001-certified facility, with an emphasis on ecology and sustainability. Thanks to its in-house development department, the company also provides custom manufacturing tailored to individual client requirements.
