Great jacket
I am really enjoying this jacket. I love the color. Tested it out and some wet snow. And it’s bombproof.

Great jacket for the slopes
Wore this jacket out for the first time skiing up at Rainier and it was great. It kept all the cold wind out but the pit zips were great to keep me well vented on the way down. The material is so soft and moveable I never felt impeded by the jacket at all. It’s also a beautiful color. I am a pretty solid small and the small fit me great! Still has room to put more layers on underneath too. I’m 5’2 and about 135lbs the arms are a little long but nothing to really complain about. I do wish that there were inside pockets but it’s a lightweight no frills great option!

Lightweight and nice fit but needs an internal pocket
I ordered the Women's Recon Shell in Blackberry color. It's more maroon than purplish, as it looks on the website. The jacket is light and the fit is on point. I ordered a small and it fits loose with layers under. One drawback is that there is no internal pocket. It has a "pass pocket" on the sleeve, which for me is a waste of a zipper and adds weight, but it really could use an internal drop pocket for gloves, a field observations book, or other items.

Just the Shell I was looking for.
I love the color and fit of the jacket. It’s light weight but still wind and water resistant. It’s my new daily skiing jacket.

Gorgeous coat
Feels great, looks great, sleeves are long enough! Can't wait to get it out into some snow.

This is the Shell
The ideal mix of breathability and protection. This is the shell for me. I hope BD never gets rid of the Recon LT line because they've nailed it with both the shell and snow pants for backcountry skier and boarders. The fit is amazing. I am between size small and medium generally and I go with the smaller size (small) in almost all BD outerwear. It fits wonderfully with room for layers. The length of this shell is great, not too long to adhere movement and not too short to allow snow in. If you are an avid backcountry rider the Recon LT kit is a great investment.

Good Shell
This shell is lightweight, windproof, and water proof. Perfect for layering as the outer layer. Well built with nice touches like waterproof seams on the zippers. The only downside is the lack of an internal zippered pocket for valuables. Also no internal pocket for a phone/tunes. As an added bonus, could add internal monkey-paw sleeves like the Dawn Patrol shell has to keep snow out. Would buy again. Lots of comments on how nice it looks paired with the pants.

Versatile and stylish
Great shell for the groomers and for the backcountry. It’s rugged and versatile, but keeps you looking good as your shredding.

Love the Jacket
I love this jacket! The design is fun and the pockets are huge! The fit is great and easily holds an extra layer or two underneath. I recommend buying the size you typically would. The only downside is there are no pockets on the sides to rest your hands in. Thus the 4 stars.

very lightweight
i am 5’ 4” tall and 110 ibs. I usually wear XS for other brand ski jackets, but for this one, S is the perfect fit for me. Also love the lightweight of the jacket. Really thin layer.
