"The more you know, the less you need." This Aboriginal proverb embodies our design philosophy—thoughtful, purposeful, and built to last. Manufacturing comes with costs, both financial and environmental, and while we don’t have all the answers yet, we’re constantly learning how to do more with less—reducing waste, minimizing resource consumption, and maintaining durability without compromise. Our Obsidian Basecamp Class™ hard cooler is the result of relentless refinement—asking the right questions, testing every possibility, and pushing the limits of sustainable design. Its seamless, rotationally molded shell is crafted from 100% reground and recycled linear low-density polyethylene resin, a material with infinite potential when handled responsibly but too often discarded in landfills and oceans. At its core is Ecofoam, the most environmentally friendly hard cell insulation available, ensuring top-tier performance while leaving a lighter footprint. Its handles? Rock-solid black anodized aluminum—the most recyclable metal out there. The design is intentionally understated. No flash, no gimmicks—just pure functionality. Engineered for best-in-class insulation, this cooler is built to endure whatever you throw at it. Whether it’s supporting the weight of a jeep or surviving a rooftop drop while fully loaded, it stands firm. No fuss, no frills—just reliability, redefined
