Black Diamond

Recon Stretch Pro Shell - Men's

BD.dry technology is a proprietary fabric developed by Black Diamond that is both waterproof and breathable. This means it keeps moisture from the outside out while allowing sweat to escape from the inside. This is especially beneficial during activities like skiing and snowboarding, as it helps you stay dry and comfortable, even during intense physical exertion.

The "3-layer stretch woven" construction means your jacket is made of three distinct layers that work together to provide durability, waterproofing, and breathability. The stretch aspect allows for greater freedom of movement, which is essential for active sports. This design ensures that you can move comfortably while staying protected from the elements.

A powder skirt is a built-in barrier at the waist of the jacket that prevents snow from entering, especially during falls or when riding in deep snow. The removable feature allows you to take it off when you don’t need it, making the jacket versatile for different conditions. This means you can enjoy your time on the slopes without worrying about snow getting inside your jacket.

Venting refers to features like zippered underarms that allow air to flow in and out of the jacket. This is crucial for regulating your body temperature during intense activities. By letting out excess heat while keeping moisture out, venting helps you stay comfortable and focused on your performance, rather than feeling overheated or clammy.

Fully sealed seams mean that the stitching on the jacket is covered with waterproof tape or sealant. This prevents water from seeping through the seams, which is essential for maintaining the jacket's waterproof integrity. With fully sealed seams, you can trust that your jacket will keep you dry in wet conditions, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor activities without worry.

The combination of BD.dry technology, 3-layer stretch woven fabric, a powder skirt, venting, and fully sealed seams creates a jacket that is not only waterproof and breathable but also flexible and comfortable. These features work together to keep you dry, regulate your temperature, and allow for unrestricted movement, enhancing your overall experience while skiing or snowboarding. This means you can focus on enjoying your time on the slopes rather than worrying about the weather or your gear.
