Important Information
The imported information calls this a “0 degree” bag but also says it is designed for −20°C (−4°F) conditions. No standardized ISO/EN comfort or limit test is provided, so neither number should be used alone to plan cold-weather safety. The source also says both “less than 5 lb” and “5 lb”; confirm actual weight. The PU2000 mm finish applies to the lower shell, not the entire bag. Antibacterial and ISO-compliance claims in the imported text are not independently documented here. Wash warm separately and hang dry promptly as directed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature is the Recon 5 rated for?
The imported listing gives conflicting 0°F and −4°F wording and no standardized comfort test. Confirm the manufacturer's current rating and use a full sleep system for the forecast.
Does it include a compression sack?
Yes. A 210D nylon Oxford compression sack is listed.
What does it weigh?
The imported description says both less than 5 lb and 5 lb. The exact weight needs confirmation.
Check the forecast and the manufacturer's latest rating before choosing the Recon 5 for a cold trip.
