Description
Built to provide extra warmth on sub-zero backcountry tours in the harshest winter conditions, the Recon Stretch Insulation Shell utilizes zoned insulation to trap body heat in key areas while remaining breathable on panels prone to overheating. The shell’s durable 4-way stretch fabric is combined with our waterproof/breathable solution, BD.dry™, to deliver a jacket ready for all day winter missions. With one chest pocket to hold essentials and two mesh internal drop pockets for skins or extra layers, the Recon features ample storage, while the jacket’s removable powder skirt adds versatility for variable conditions. The Recon also has pit zip vents for easy temperature regulation on the skin-track, a waterproof front zipper and a ski-helmet compatible hood for added protection on storm days.

Perfect insulation weight. Well designed for the elements.

Love this jacket
Very high quality that is thoughtfully made. The pockets are excellent and are just what you want when skiing a mountain. The hood is big too, so it fits over your helmet. I wore it in 26 degree F weather with long sleeve shirt and thin quarter zip synthetic material and it was perfect temperature.
