BD.dry™ 3L face fabrics are treated with a DWR solution without intentionally added PFAS and these fabrics have a hydrophilic membrane that allows water vapor to transfer through, making them waterproof, yet breathable. Applied to the backside of this fabric is a third layer, jersey backer, that feels comfortable next to the skin and allows moisture to turn to vapor before passing through the hydrophilic membrane.

"Incredibly lightweight and perfectly protected patches for crampons or snowboard bindings. Took them out for a test drive in Taos this weekend. Fit like a glove and were incredibly comfortable. Highly recommend. XL was perfect and I’m 6’3” and 250lbs. Size 38 waist."
"I purchased the Men's Recon LT Stretch Pants. They are a light weight waterproof shell. They kept me dry on a relatively warm day at Mount Baker with about 13" of Cascade fluff."
"Why? Why in the world would you make one thight pocket larger and useful and the other flat and useless?"
"Lightweight, breathable, great vents and pockets. These are perfect for spring tours!"
"These are great ski pants! Water/wind stay out, warmth stays in."
"All went well with my Pants, comply with it's functionality"
"If you need freedom of maneuver and want breathable pants these are it! Awesome used them all over CO and taos"
"The pants look great and probably are… but they are crazy long. I am 5. 10” and these are probably for some 6. 6”."
"Bought the new gear in anticipation for a big snowy week in Hakuba. Hakuba delivered 3m in 6 days. My ski suit was both functional and dry. The flex fabric was super comfortable. I’m really happy with my purchase"
"Love these pants. Great lightweight option!"
