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.
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.
Ergonomic where it counts
Lightweight build with ergonomic, soft-grip handles designed for easy one-or two-handed carry—even fully loaded.
Doubles as a Water Cooler
Use as an insulated water cooler with included spigot and faucet-connecting caps.
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.
Tie-Down Flexibility, Built In
Secure the whole cooler—or just the base. Either way, you can still access the lid when tied down.

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.
