For those sub-zero days on the skin track and burly, mid-winter resort days, the Recon Insulated Shell utilizes zoned insulation to trap body heat in key areas while featuring fully taped, four-way stretch BD.dry™ shell fabric. With ample storage and a removable powder skirt, the Recon Stretch Insulated Shell is a versatile pick for frigid conditions.
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, two hand pockets, 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. Internal RECCO® technology makes you searchable.

"Cost is very warm skies in below zero weather and was warm with the ability to move and ski freely."
"Although insulated, still definitely a shell (i. e. , still need to layer in Canadian cold). Beautiful jacket though"
"I haven't gone skiing with it yet but looks to be very high quality as with all BD products !!!!"
"You can tell the high quality of the item from the first time you pull it out of the package. Material is thick without feeling bulky, I can tell it will hold up to hard use! 5’11” 175 lbs athletic build and the Large is perfect… just a touch on the loose side to allow variable layering for really cold conditions"
