Why We Like The Recon Stretch Ski Shell
It's darn near impossible for ski companies to incorporate stretchy material into a ski shell that actually fends off winter's weather, but Black Diamond's Recon Stretch Ski Shell seems to keep snow out while we ride through the backcountry's deep powder.
Unlike most ski jackets, the Recon Stretch incorporates four-way stretch fabric into a waterproof, breathable membrane that shields you from snow whether you're skinning through snowfall or skiing through face shots. We love that there are ventilation zippers under each arm in case you get too warm, and a helmet-compatible hood and removable powder skirt to keep you covered in case you get too cold or wet.

Good shell
Fits great, held up against the wind well and can easily layer up underneath it for additional warmth

The material seems good but
The material seems good but unfortunately the air wasn’t right for me. Although the original packaging hasn’t been open yet, they weren’t able to accept a return.

Sizing off
The jacket seems to be of great quality but the sizing is so far off, it needs to be returned. I suggest sizing down.

She's a beaut, Clark
Excited to test this coat out. Got it in the spring when the season was winding down to replace a 10+ year old shell. Fits great, seems sturdy.

Great Jacket!!
Was looking for a high quality, affordable she’ll and this jacket did not disappoint! Great fit. The BD dry finish repelled snow well. The stretch material is extremely comfortable. I’ll admit, I wish it had a zippered inner pocket, but minor complaint in my opinion as this was bought as a shell. Inner layers can store items. Haven’t been able to completely test waterproof as the snow wasn’t wet and no rain exposure. I anticipate this to hold up well though. Material seems to be durable. Fits well in large and I’m 6’1” 190# shorter torso, not too long in hem and sleeve length is perfect.

I really like this jacket.
I really like this jacket. Went skiing the second day I owed the jacket. Great fit and function. All of the zippers worked great. If you’re looking to buy a new ski jacket I highly recommend it.
