Overview

Meet the Recon 2 Second Generation Sleeping Bag from Elite Survival Systems, engineered for dependable warmth on cool nights and transitional-season adventures. Its streamlined silhouette, rugged materials, and practical features strike a balance between comfort, durability, and packing efficiency for outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and travelers alike.

With a thoughtful blend of construction and insulation, this bag aims to keep you comfortable without adding excess weight or bulk.

Construction and materials

• Outer shell: 210T Ripstop Nylon with a Teflon finish for enhanced durability and resistance to wear.
• Inner shell: 210T Ripstop Nylon for a lightweight, comfortable interior.
• Foot area reinforcement: Internal baffle secured with 210D Nylon Oxford and PU2000mm waterproof finish to reduce boot wear and protect against damp ground.

Insulation and warmth

• Flat-filled insulation minimizes cold spots and promotes even warmth through the body’s natural contours.
• Microfiber barrier integrated into the insulation helps retain heat while maintaining breathability for comfort during longer stays outside.

Packability and practicality

• Includes a 210D Nylon Oxford spider compression sack for compact packing and easier transport.
• A flat profile aids storage in tight spaces, from tents to backpack pockets, without sacrificing performance.

Real-world use and considerations

Designed for shoulder-season camping, weekend trips, and basecamp excursions, the Recon 2 balances warmth with durability. The boot-friendly foot area reduces wear in high-traffic zones, and the waterproof finish in the foot compartment adds resilience on damp mornings or dewy grounds. While warmth is influenced by layering and personal comfort, the bag is positioned to offer reliable warmth on cool nights when paired with appropriate sleep systems and gear.

Care and maintenance

Rinse or wipe down after use and air dry away from direct heat to preserve fabric integrity and insulation performance over time.
