Why We Like The Recon Stretch Ski Shell Jacket
For missions through the resort or into the backcountry, the Black Diamond Recon Stretch Ski Shell Jacket is briefed and ready for action. It's built with a BD.dry membrane that seals out snow while allowing air to flow, and it has underarm vents for extra breathability when we need it. Four-way stretch construction encourages our full range of motion, while the adjustable hood and cuffs customize the fit.

Love
I’m really liking this shell for skiing. It’s warm & weather-proof and has all the features I want. I got the matching bibs a year or two earlier and also really like those. I appreciate that BD kept the same colors for a few seasons.

Great Fit
Hikes in the snow with this shell and loved the weight and the venting of under arms. Perfect for layering. Next time on the slopes.

Great quality fits small
Great jacket! I ordered a size small and I'm 5'3" and 130 pounds. Typically a size small. It fits well over a t-shirt and a very light puffer jacket, but I’m not sure it would accommodate multiple layers. A medium might be a better fit if you plan to wear more underneath. Unfortunately, I’ll need to return it since I was hoping to use it for skiing.

Great fit!
This jacket is a great fit for backcountry skiing. It is long with an athletic fit and moves well. I am 5'6", 125lbs, athletic build and the Small fit great.

Great shell
I knocked a star because I wish there were two front chest pockets. I’ve learned in snow activities I utilize the chest pockets more than the lower jacket pockets (mainly because things slide out of my lower pockets all the time). Otherwise, this is a great shell and so far has been very waterproof!

Very strange fit
Bought this for a big trip to Japan last month and by the time it arrived I didn’t have time to return it or find something else. It’s a very strange fit. I’m short - 5’0 120# with a typical women’s body, meaning I have hips. It barely zips over my them, very tight and then rides up around my chest with all kinds of extra fabric bunched around my face. I have to snap the powder skirt first to be able to zip it up. It works great for what it’s designed for and the pockets are good, but it sure doesn’t fit me well. The hood is so massive you can’t wear it without a helmet (i.e. uphill on the skin track) because it falls down to my nose. I wish I could attach a photo - I don’t seem to have that option? It seems to be designed for men or women 5’6 and up with no hips.

Great jacket
I'm loving my shell so far. The waterproofing beads everywhere, the length is great and it is comfortable. I've gotten lots of compliments on the look and colour. I had been nervous that it wouldn't be warm enough for cooler days on the chairlift but I've been happy with just a fleece or mid weight puffy underneath. My only notes are really specific, the arms are a bit baggy and the extra fold of material at the pockets lays in a weird way affecting the 'sleekness' of the fit .

Best shell for ski touring
So glad I bought this jacket to replace my previous hard shell. It packs down smaller in my touring pack and it’s more flexible with greater coverage than the jacket I had before. And it’s easy to fit over my helmet for the blustery transitions or descents when I need a little more warmth.

Amazing purchase
Bought this for my wife, 5’ 6”160 lbs and a large was perfect. First time out was a rainy PNW day and she stayed perfectly dry and warm the whole time. Water was beading off right out of the package with no waterproofing done. Loved it so much i bought one for myself.
