Recon Stretch Ski Shell Jacket - Women's

BD.dry is a proprietary membrane technology developed by Black Diamond that ensures your gear is both waterproof and breathable. This means it keeps water out while allowing sweat and moisture to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable during activities like skiing and snowboarding. Staying dry is crucial for maintaining warmth and performance on the slopes.

Four-way stretch construction allows the fabric to stretch in all directions—up and down, side to side, and diagonally. This feature provides greater freedom of movement, which is essential for agility and flexibility in sports like skiing and snowboarding. With this type of fabric, you can move more freely and comfortably, improving your overall performance.

A powder skirt is a band of fabric that wraps around your waist and helps prevent snow from entering your jacket when you fall or ski in deep snow. This feature is particularly important for keeping you warm and dry in challenging conditions. The removable design allows you to take it off when it's not needed, giving you flexibility based on the weather.

Underarm zippers are ventilation zippers located under the arms of the jacket. They can be opened to increase airflow, helping to regulate your body temperature during physical activity. This feature is especially useful when you start to feel too warm, allowing you to cool down without having to remove your jacket.

A helmet-compatible hood is designed to fit comfortably over your ski or snowboard helmet without interfering with its fit or function. This feature provides added protection from the elements, such as wind and snow, while ensuring your helmet remains secure. It’s an essential feature for safety and comfort while enjoying your time on the slopes.

Absolutely! While ski jackets are specifically designed for skiing and snowboarding, their waterproof, breathable materials and features like four-way stretch construction make them suitable for various outdoor activities such as hiking, snowshoeing, or even casual winter wear. You’ll enjoy the same comfort and protection in different environments.
