Hardside Cooler – the foundation of your stackable, road-ready Recon system.

$ 325.00

This small-but-mighty cooler is made for grab-and-go trips, roadside snacks or as part of a multi-cooler stack. Its injection-molded body makes it lighter than standard roto-molding, 5 cm of performance insulation keep contents colder for longer. The lid opens from either side—or removes entirely for easy access—and it doubles as a water cooler with the included spigot or optional tap cap.

Get the Highlights

Space-efficient design

Compact enough for quick trips or as an auxiliary cooler for your stackable multi-unit Recon system, the 16L capacity holds 18 cans, is tall enough for wine bottles, and designed to optionally fit in your car’s footwell.

Stackable & packable

Increase storage without adding square meterage – stackable design and a rubber top that minimises slipping and skidding allow you to pack more in minimal space.

Lightweight durability

Injection-moulded construction with welded seams and 5 cm of performance insulation makes Recon up to 30% lighter than other coolers of the same size.

Dual-opening removable lid

Grab a cold drink from the front or back—one-handed latches double as hinges or remove the lid completely for full access.

Ergonomic where it counts

Lightweight build with ergonomic, soft-grip handles designed for easy one-or two-handed carrying—even fully loaded.

Doubles as a water cooler

Vehicle-optimised recon system

Streamlined design to work as a gear system – maximum packability and performance – no wasted space.
