Black Diamond Men's Recon Stretch Shell

The Black Diamond Men's Recon Stretch Shell is a waterproof, breathable ski jacket built from BD.dry 3L four way stretch nylon. It's made for skiers who tour uphill and ride lifts, with pit zips for the climb and a removable powder skirt for deep days.

Why We Carry It

It's the hardshell we recommend to skiers who split time between the resort and the backcountry and want one jacket that handles storm days and long skin tracks.

Highlights

• BD.dry 3L stretch fabric: Waterproof, breathable and windproof, rated 20,000 mm waterproof and 20,000 g/m2/24 hr breathable.
• Pit zips: DWR treated underarm vents dump heat on the skin track.
• Skin friendly storage: A chest pocket plus two internal mesh drop pockets big enough for skins or an extra layer, and front hand pockets.
• Ski helmet compatible hood: Fits over a helmet for storm days.
• Removable powder skirt: Keep it in for deep days, take it out for touring.
• RECCO reflector: Built in RECCO technology makes you searchable by rescuers.

Best For

Resort and backcountry skiers who want a stretchy, fully featured shell for storm cycles and long touring days, from Monarch Mountain laps to skin tracks in the Sawatch Range.
