This listing is the Dometic Recon Softside ZL Medium, 17L: a zipper-free soft cooler from the Recon system that holds up to 28 cans (12 oz). Sized for day trips and as one piece of a multi-unit Recon setup, with room for Recon accessories and ice packs.

The lid opens one-handed from either side with dual hinge latches, so there is no zipper to fight with. Use it on its own or stacked on a Recon Hardside cooler for more volume in a smaller cargo footprint. Available in Lichen or Silt.
