New Arrival: OVS Explorer Soft Shell Truck Cap — Now Available at Recon Recovery
If you’re looking for the perfect blend of overlanding utility, lightweight design, and truck-bed adaptability, we’ve got exciting news: Recon Recovery is now offering the OVS Explorer Soft Shell Topper from Overland Vehicle Systems. Built for rugged use, sleek styling, and enhanced functionality, this innovative soft top is ideal for adventurers, contractors, tail-gaters, and everyone in between.

Why the Explorer Soft Shell Stands Out
Lightweight & Easy to Use
Unlike bulky traditional steel caps, the Explorer uses an aluminum frame paired with high-quality Black Diamond Canvas. The result: strong protection without the heavy weight. According to the manufacturer, the material is UV-protected, mildew-resistant, waterproof, and built to handle tough conditions.
Practical Design for Real-World Use
-
The rear window rolls up or removes completely, giving you airflow and visibility when you want it.
-
You retain full bed access — load bigger gear without removing the cap.
-
Aerodynamic profile that matches your vehicle’s cab height for cleaner lines and better fuel efficiency.
Durable Fabric & Frame
From the Black Diamond Canvas to the aluminum structure and DOT-approved vinyl windows, this topper is built for both durability and practicality. The canvas material is explicitly highlighted as UV-protected and waterproof.
Broad Fitment Across Trucks
The product listing notes wide compatibility across trucks, including models like the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma, 2020-2025 Jeep Gladiator, 2021-2025 Ford F-150, and many more.

What This Means for Your Setup
-
Overland/Rig Builds: This topper gives you protection and adaptability without the loading penalty of a full hard cap. It’s ideal for crossbars, rooftop tents, gear racks, and modular accessories.
-
Daily Drivers & Utility Use: The lighter weight and full bed access mean you can switch between work, play, and weekend adventures easily.
-
Style + Function: The sleek Black Diamond Canvas and flush design bring clean aesthetics to your truck while the functionality keeps your gear safe.
-
Installation & Removal: Because of the lightweight build and user-friendly design, it’s easier to install or remove than many traditional caps — useful for those who rotate between bed use and adventure setups.
