The Recon ZL 21L is the largest soft‑side in the Recon family, built to carry more without slowing you down.
Big enough for weekend runs — tall, stackable, and leak‑resistant with FrostCore™ insulation and one‑handed access.
Tall enough for wine bottles and sized to hold 35 cans, it’s light, durable, and engineered to work solo or as part of your Recon system. A zipper‑free, dual‑hinge lid flips open with one hand for fast access, while 25 mm FrostCore™ insulation keeps contents cold on day trips and weekend getaways. Rugged materials, a welded liner, and a reinforced base make it road‑ready and leak‑resistant.
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 side trips and as a compact component of your stackable multi-unit Recon system, the 10L capacity holds 19 cans and is tall enough for 4 wine bottles.
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.
