Most Helpful Positive Review Pack in elk hunt in Colorado
Awesome bag very packable and light weight. Used on a pack in elk hunt in Colorado. The bag compresses very well for fitting on or in a frame pack. The fit was very good as I'm 5,11 165lb. I used a pad with mine and it was very worm on the cool nights.
Most Helpful Negative Review More like trash bag.
Very first time I used the bag was on a walk in caribou hunt about 2 weeks back. Jumped in and went to zip it up and the zipper popped off. !!! Don’t waste your money. Absolute only reason it gets 2 starts is because it was a warm bag for the temperature I was in.

Recon 5 sleeping bag

by William Lee, from GA, United States Written on November 2, 2023
Bag appears to be well made out of quality materials. It came with a nice stuff sack. I have not had the opportunity to test how accurately the temperature rating is but all in all it appears to be a quality made bag.

Recon 5 Sleeping Bag

by Bobby Mac, Verified Owner from NH, United States Written on January 5, 2022
I have been eyeing the Recon series of bags for over a year now. I ordered a Recon 4 from another vendor a year ago and they were backordered so substituted for a Snugpak Softie Elite. Now the sub wasnt a bad bag at all, but still wanted the Recon bag. So i found a need for a warmer rated bag and got the Recon 5. Seems very well made, feels comfortable with the room inside of it. Will be testing here soon in 10-20 degree temps. Overall i am satisfied with the purchase and would recommend. Only con is i wish the zipper was a two way zipper, so you can open from bottom to vent.
Pros:
  • Craftsman ship
Cons:
  • Zipper

Recon 5 Sleep System

by Mike, from WA, United States Written on May 7, 2021
Pretty badass sleep system and using it regularly in the field and casual outdoor adventures. The bag has held up very well as maintaining heat, sometimes too well, zipper hasn't failed me yet and packs away very easily.

Recon 5 sleeping bag

by Ed, from AR, United States Written on January 21, 2018
Could not get a better bag. A little pricy, but worth every penny. Used it in my hammack during deer season and below freezing temps. Stayed warm and cozy and actually looked forward to crawling in! Extremely well built and all my buddy's were jealous, and said they wanted one. I did tell them I purchased it through OpticsPlanet and gave them the link. The bag also rolls back up and into compresion
very nice, little effort which is a big plus.

Serious Hunter

by Ron, from OR, United States Written on January 12, 2015
While our temperatures are 10 degrees at night I stayed very warm 1n this bag, on just a cot! New materials and tough gear are going to make a warm hunt rhis next November. It rolls up small enough to pack easily (10 inches) light enough for packin', and is very competitively priced with name brand bags.
