Overview
Dometic builds the Recon Hardside with an injection molded shell that is lighter than rotomolded coolers, wrapped around thick insulation. Its non-skid lid opens from either side or lifts off, and a spigot turns it into a water cooler.
Being able to use it as a drink cooler or water jug gives one small box two jobs. Ice retention figures are missing, and its small size suits lunches and drinks more than a weekend of food.
Who it's for
Made for boaters, tailgaters and picnickers who carry a small load. Campers stocking food for several days need a larger cooler.
Pros and cons
- Works as a water cooler
- Lid opens from either side
- Lighter injection molded shell
- Bottle opener on latches
- Ice retention not listed
- Faucet sold separately
Performance notes
Thick insulation slows heat gain, and the lighter injection molded shell trades some bulk for easier carrying. The spigot lets water drain or pour without opening the lid.
