Description

Why We Like The Recon Stretch Ski Shell

The Black Diamond Recon Stretch Ski Shell is a remarkable ski jacket that defies the odds by combining stretchiness with weather protection in the harshest winter conditions. Whether you're gliding through deep backcountry powder or skinning through a snowfall, this jacket keeps you shielded from the elements.

What sets the Recon Stretch apart from other ski jackets is its innovative design that incorporates four-way stretch fabric into a durable and waterproof membrane. This fabric not only offers excellent flexibility but is also breathable, making it ideal for intense ski sessions and facing face shots with ease.

One of the features we absolutely love about this shell is the presence of ventilation zippers located under each arm. These zippers allow you to regulate your body temperature and airflow when you start feeling too warm, ensuring maximum comfort during your skiing adventures. Additionally, the helmet-compatible hood and removable powder skirt offer complete coverage and protection from the cold and wetness when needed.

Key Features:

  • Ski shell designed for demanding skiers seeking optimal performance
  • Four-way stretch fabric with waterproof and breathable BD.dry technology
  • Underarm ventilation zippers for enhanced airflow
  • Helmet-compatible hood and removable powder skirt for custom coverage
  • Adjustable cuffs to secure sleeves over ski gloves
