I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Recon Jacket - Men's

Description

Why We Like The DC Recon Jacket

With its eco-conscious materials and highly waterproof and breathable construction, the DC Recon jacket is impressive all around. We like the SympaTex Weather Defense membrane, which is made from recycled materials and crushes the competition with its extremely high 45K waterproof rating and 30K breathability rating. That extreme weather protection is backed up by a PFC-free durable water repellent, water-resistant YKK zippers, and mesh underarm vents for added ventilation and breathability.

For added cold weather protection it features a light layer of PrimaLoft Black insulation— along with gaiters to seal out the snow and an adjustable, helmet-compatible hood for snowboarding. This is a blizzard-ready, technical hard shell that's more than ready to shred.

Details:

  • Insulated snowboard jacket for extreme conditions
  • Impressive 45K/30K waterproof and breathability ratings
  • Primaloft insulation is warm, water resistant, breathable, packable
  • YKK Aquaguard zippers are reliable and water-resistant
  • Adjustable hood is helmet-compatible for snowboarders
  • Removable waist gaiter for more or less snow protection
  • Lycra wrist gaiters and jacket-to-pant connection to seal out snow
  • Made with 100% recycled synthetics
