Recon Hardside Small, 16L

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

SKU: 97000133080

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 rotos, while two inches of performance insulation keep contents colder, 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 faucet cap.

Get the Highlights

Vehicle-optimized recon system

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

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 footage – stackable design and a rubber top that minimizes slipping and skidding allow you to pack more in minimal space.

Lightweight durability

Injection-molded construction with welded seams and two inches 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 carry—even fully loaded.

Tie-Down Flexibility, Built In

Secure the whole cooler—or just the base. Either way, you can still access the lid when tied down.

Doubles as a Water Cooler

Use as an insulated water cooler with included spigot and faucet-connecting caps.
