Only thing I’d wish BlackDiamond would update next version is have the pass pocket closer to

Great shell!
Used in conjunction with matching pants, material does not any loud annoying sounds when it rubs against itself. I for reference am 5’11”, 195 lbs athletic build and the large was perfect. I was able to wear a waffle top base layer and arcteryx atom lt jacket underneath with room for an additional layer if required.

Bomber jacket!
Excellent jacket for skiing! Love the durable stretch material that is also waterproof and breathable. Similar jackets sell for significantly more money. I would give this jacket 5 stars for quality construction, durability and roomy fit for layers. If I had to suggest one improvement, it would be to add 1 zippered pocket on the inside of the jack

Love the Quality
I was looking for a new jacket but ordered the XL but returned it and got a L when I was in Jackson Hole. That store is amazing up there. I feel just as good as Arcteryx.

The Recon’s pocket placement is excellent, The BD dry waterproof breathable is durable,
