Recon Stretch Ski Shell Jacket - Women's

Comfortable and functional

I’ve had the old recon jacket for patrol for years and love it. I needed a civilian jacket for free ski days. So I got a great color. A little more blue than I expected but it’s beautiful. Fits well everywhere, though I little more snug in the hips than I hoped. I carry most of my weight though, so that’s on me. I bought the large, I’m 5,7”, 155lbs.

Stoked!

I am stoked on this jacket! The feel and fit is awesome. I am often between a small and a medium, and went with the medium and feel it is perfect for layering and resort skiing. I am about 5'5", athletic build, around 140, with a bigger chest. This gives me room in the chest and shoulders, which I really appreciate. The weight is a bit heavier than I anticipated, but I think it will be perfect for the resort and I will see if it is a go to jacket in the backcountry as well. The sleeves are a bit long for me, but I will take that to get the rest of the fit as well as it is.

Definitely would buy a second one of these!

To start - I’m 5’7” & 130lbs - I got the XS and I’m so glad I did - it fits on the bigger side. I can still fit a few layers under this jacket without it feeling too tight. I also have arms that are on the longer side and XS still has more than enough coverage when I stretch my arms out. It feels so comfortable, and though I haven’t had the chance to wear it in any severe weather just yet, the material is very high quality and all the seams look bomber! So pumped on this jacket!

Great fit and style.

I really like the all green color, how it fits and the style. True to size.

Awesome jacket and Snowpants!! May want to size up for more shoulder room and for layering!

Love my jacket and bibs! Perfect for women who like to get down and dirty on the slopes. Fits awesome once I sized up to fit layers under. The stretch gives me that little extra movement when I’m out on the mountain which I have previously found lacking in other brands.

Comfort & Style

Comfortable and stylish. Waterproof, wind, resistant, economic.

Love this Jkt!

My parents finally convinced me to get a BD shell and I am soo excited for it this season. They both have this exact shell and love it!

Great colors, great feel!

I love my shell, the hood is spacious for the helmets, and the pockets are in good spots. The sleeves are slightly too long for me in comparison with the rest of the fit, but as long as the velcro sleeve closures hold up, it shouldn't be a problem. and I love the color!

Versatile, warm, and kept me dry even skiing in freezing rain. Love the stretch and the zips for touring as well
