Recon 16L Cooler

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I use the 16L Recon as my go-to cooler for solo road trips and quick getaways. It’s small enough to slide into the footwell of my car but still fits a full day’s worth of drinks and snacks. The removable lid is genius for access, and I love that it doubles as a water cooler with the spigot."

Whether we’re pulling off for a scenic lunch stop or packing light for a long weekend, the Recon 16L Cooler is built to move with us. Compact and rugged, this cooler holds 18 cans, stands tall enough for wine bottles, and slots perfectly into a vehicle footwell—making it the ideal size for grab-and-go road trips or daily adventures.

Its injection-molded construction makes it lighter than traditional rotomolded coolers, while two inches of performance insulation keep contents ice-cold for hours. A dual-opening removable lid lets us access gear from either side—or take the lid off completely. The included spigot transforms it into a backcountry-ready water cooler, while ergonomic handles, magnetic latch closures, and stackable feet make transport and storage effortless. Whether it’s roadside hydration or part of a larger Recon system, this cooler is all about smart utility in a compact form.
