Whether you’re in-bounds or out the Black Diamond Recon Stretch Women's Ski Shell is built to handle deep powder days and groomed rollers with equal aplomb. Featuring a 4-way stretch fabric and Black Diamond’s waterproof/breathable BD.dry™ technology this is a versatile, comfortable, easy to move in shell for day-in, day-out, all-season, skiers. BD.dry™ is Black Diamond’s innovative waterproof/breathable/windproof technology built for climbers and backcountry adventure. It is designed to offer terrific performance, with BD.dry™ 3-Layer being fully seam taped with a 20,000mm waterproofing and 20,000g/m2/24hours breathability rating. Combine this with pit zips for venting, and 4-way stretch for movement, and you’ve got a sleek shell jacket that can handle not only the ski down in weather, but the skin to the top to get to the down. With a relaxed fit this is sized right to accommodate your layering pieces, be they fleece or feathers. Two skin-compatible drop pockets on the inside, a removable powder skirt (which extends the seasonal wear of this jacket), and of course, an adjustable helmet compatible hood, for the skier that covers the whole mountain, this is a jacket with a climber’s roots, and a skier’s heart.
