The Black Diamond Recon Stretch Pro Men's Shell is a versatile bomber of a jacket. A 3-layer shell designed to blend the movement of four-way stretch with the ultimate protection of BD.dry™ when you’re out touring or ducking the rope to catch some powder in the glades. Built for climbers and backcountry adventurers, BD.dry™ does you right with 20,000mm waterproofing and 20,000g/m2/24hours breathability, with full seam taping, to keep the weather out, and the climate inside comfortable. Reinforced forearms, elbows and hips add durable protection in the high-wear areas where your pack rides, and tree branches strike. The hood is adjustable and ski helmet compatible, and for added flexibility, the powder skirt is removable. It’s a great jacket for all mountain skiers, with the features for lift serviced days (like that sleeve pass pocket) and backcountry days, with all the features from the internal mesh dump pocket to the goggle wipe, those features you look for when you’re honing in on the perfect performance shell. If you ski the whole mountain, you need a jacket that will take up up the lift, down the trail, and into the terrain you’re reaching with skins. Black Diamond’s innovative waterproof/breathable/windproof technology brings weather protection together with stretch and movement for great winter days.
