This softside cooler is designed as a perfect complement to Dometic’s Recon hard coolers, meaning it stacks cleanly on top of the Recon Hardside. A reinforced base and rubber feet make sure it stays there. Alternatively, it nestles into seat wells and footwells without complaint, and brings 25mm FrostCore insulation to keep things cold on side quests away from the main setup. Instead of a flimsy zip, it uses dual-hinge latches that open from either side with one hand, or lift off entirely for unrestricted access. A magnetic handle system clips flush when not in use; a removable padded shoulder strap handles longer carries. Military-style M.O.L.L.E. loops on the exterior give you somewhere to attach additional kit. Built from recycled 840D nylon with dual-coated TPU lining and a leakproof welded interior, this is a cool bag that is tough, packable, and far better looking than it has any right to be.

Dometic has spent decades making cold storage smarter. Founded in Sweden in 1922, the company started life making home refrigerators. A century later, they're the global benchmark for mobile cooling – trusted by vanlifers, overlanders and professional adventurers alike. The philosophy hasn't changed much: make the best possible version of the thing, then make it easier to live with.
Today, that means incorporating smart tech like app-connected coolboxes, as well as clever modular systems designed around how people actually pack a vehicle. Whether you're spending a month in your campervan, going car camping with mates, or just packing for a family day trip with a boot full of optimism, there's a Dometic setup for it.
You can expect whisper-quiet compressor cooling in a range of practical sizes from 25L to 95L. Meanwhile, the Recon system rethinks what a coolbox is entirely – modular, stackable, vehicle-optimised, and up to 30% lighter than rivals. A full ecosystem of accessories completes the picture: hydration taps, dividers, baskets, totes, lights, and reusable ice blocks, all designed to work together as an integrated system to build outdoor kit designed with actual intent.
