Why We Like The Black Diamond Recon Stretch Bib Ski Pant

Whether we're earning your turns or lapping lifts, the Recon Stretch Bib Ski Pant from Black Diamond keeps us comfortable, moving, and dry. Its BD.dry waterproof membrane offers protection on stormy days while also providing breathability on long tours in the backcountry. An updated, low-profile beacon pocket stows avy gear when we venture out of bounds, and thigh pockets store daily necessities. Offset side venting dumps heat when we're boot-packing and lapping turns in deep powder, while the high-mounted snow gaiter keeps out those fresh flakes for day-long comfort in the snow.

great do it all bib

i like the baggy fit which allows layerings depending whether being in or outside the resort. the top comes off and the front can flap over the belt which was super helpful during really hot touring days. the top kangaroo pocket is super useful for holding phones and snacks

Yet to use, but decided

Yet to use, but decided to switch from dakine bibs for the season. I am 5’7” 150lbs w a short inseam and couldn’t make the smalls work w layers, exchanged for medium and a much better fit. Only complaint is the gaiters seem too wide and not adjustable. The built in belt is nice but not very functional. Curious to see how well the breath and can dump heat touring w only side zips

Best bib I’ve owned

Huge pockets, well thought out beacon pocket, modern design/fit, every cuff is adjustable, and the materials/seams are skookum. Very clearly designed by people who ski. This + the stretch shell and first light hoody is all you need for south-central AK touring or the coldest day at Alyeska

Comfy and Light

Really like the nice fit of the bibs and the ability to raise the legs with the bib straps so they don't drag on the ground. Also they are much lighter than I expected and should be awesome for touring.

Amazing Ski Pants!

Bought these pants last season and have been using them all over the mountain. Keeps everything dry and tons of great pockets. Mainly a shell so wearing some base layers is best case, and fits snug around the chest so maybe size up!

Solid bibs

Very sturdy construction. Love the stretch. Seems more than ample for wet powder days and tours. Excited for next season.

The Good and the Bad

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I purchased these pants a couple weeks ago specifically for a trip to Utah. I wanted something that would handle both front side and the back country....as well as something with reinforced gators. I had cheaper Mountain Hardwear pants that weren't reinforced in the gator area and didn't hold out the snow. I really liked the fit of the Recon and they really hold in wet conditions. However, I'm disappointed with the durability. After 3 days of skiing (2 at Alta and 1 in the back country), I noticed that the gators were ripped and giving way. I get that it might happen, but not after a few days of skiing. So, the main reason that I purchased the pants is now out the window. Was hoping for better from these.

Great bibs!

Good bibs, sizing runs small and I had to size up. The returns process was not easy!
