Recon Stretch Ski Shell - Men's

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.

Everything you need, nothing you don't
This jacket is fantastic. It has all the features I want and nothing that I don't need. A great slim fit but still works very well with layers, and just the right amount of stretch.

Great fit!
Haven't used it yet (bought it on sale in the summer), but the fit and stretch is perfect. I'm 6'3" 205.

Just What He Wanted

I bought this for my husband who wanted a new lightweight but durable shell for skiing. He wanted a hood that would go over his ski helmet and this jacket seemed to fit the request. He was very pleased with it - he says it is versatile. He is 6'1'' but lean (#170 ish) and it fits him really well with enough room for layering.

Great Jacket
Great material. Waited for first condola at Creekside for 2 hours in the pouring rain and everything just rolled off. What more can you ask for.

Great shell
6’ 190. Medium. Bit tight in the arm pit. Not very stretchy through chest but great arm length and overall construction. Great color. The blue one. Really a great jacket and it’s going to get a lot of use.
