Description
Versatilely sized, light, stackable, and durable, the 17L Recon ZL is made to adventure. Its FrostCore™ insulation keeps things cold, while the compact footprint is optimized for vehicle travel, and the lid flips open with just one hand – no zipper – so access is easy. Use it on its own or as part of your Recon system.
Vehicle-optimized recon system
Made to nest together, easily fits in tailgates and seat wells, Recon ZL is optimized for vehicle packability without sacrificing capacity.
Space-efficient design
Sized for day trips and as a component of your stackable multi-unit Recon system, the 17L capacity holds 28 cans.
Stackable & packable
Stackable design sits securely on your Recon Hardside cooler – reinforced bottom for no slip or slide – to give you more volume with a smaller cargo footprint.
FrostCore™ insulation
Advanced 25mm insulation that balances lasting cold with light weight and minimal bulk.
Dual hinge lid latches
Durable, secure, and simple to operate, the dual hinge latches let you open the lid from either side for easy access with a single hand – no struggling with awkward, fragile zippers.
Ergonomic where it counts
Removable magnetic handles and an adjustable padded shoulder strap make it comfortable to carry.

Spent a month looking for crossbars and stumbled upon this ruggedized kit. Purchased in January 2026. Shipping was free and they arrived within a few days. Installation was easy. My rails are silver so not sure yet but I may paint the rails black. I watched a few YouTube videos and one of the guys did that to match with the crossbars. I’ll wait for the nice weather before deciding. Nice looking regardless. Heavy duty. Happy with this product! PS I notice many want to install strip padding underneath the wind fairing. There is plenty of room / clearance so that was not needed in my case.
I initially liked the Alpha II RTT. However after a few uses it experienced a cracked roof. I contacted the company twice with no response. Think hard about buying a product from this company. These products are made in China, which can only compete on price. Very dissappointed in product, its cost, and the company.
