Settle into camp with a mummy sleeping bag designed for cold conditions. The Recon 5 Gen II from Elite Survival Systems combines Thermolite Micro insulation, an adjustable shaped hood, and a center zipper with a storm flap. At approximately 5 lbs, it is an option for car camping, truck camping, and trips where warmth-focused features matter more than ultralight packing.
Manufacturer-listed temperature rating: -4°F (-20°C). The supplied specifications do not identify this as a tested comfort rating. Your sleeping pad, clothing, shelter, conditions, and individual sensitivity to cold affect how warm you sleep.
Wash warm separately. Machine washing is permitted by the manufacturer. Hang dry immediately after washing.
I have broad shoulders and a big chest, so I normally don’t buy mummy bags as I can’t zip them up past mid chest. I took a chance on this bag and it paid off. While it is snug while zipping it up, I can actually zip it up!!! Wish they sold a bivvy bag for this sleeping bag.
I love this Bag! Just used down to 20f. The center zip, flat fill insulation and large shoulder space is a game changer for me. I camp very basic so I wear my Clothes in the bag and was very warm. I had this inside my german bivy bag and was completely unaware of the 3" of snow and 20 mph winds thaybwas outside. I highly recommend
I was a little disappointed. This was much bulkier than I had hoped. I think it’ll be very warm & I plan to use it. But maybe not on hiking trips.
Have not used. My “backup” when SHTF or my apartment loses heat/electricity - again!
Everything I expected. Can't find a more warmer and cozier sleeping bag than the Recon 5. I also have the Recon 3 and can slip it into the Recon 5 for extra warmth. Recon 5 fits in my pack snugly and is not too bulky. Compression sack is excellent and the sleeping back fits back into it nicely.
