A full zip front bib makes these easy to get on and off, while the easily adjustable suspenders are reinforced and built to last. With the same four-way stretch fabric and updated patterning as the Recon Stretch Pant, these bibs are designed to provide ample mobility for active days in the mountains. Zippered chest, thigh, and hand pockets store your phone, lip balm, and other small essentials.
Our Recon Stretch outerwear is built to go uphill and downhill without limitation. It’s designed to be ultra-versatile and provide performance and comfort in all winter conditions, and either side of the rope.
At Black Diamond, we're committed to going deep, whether that's into the mountains, the design process, or the community we love. Our fall/winter collection of equipment and apparel is built for the experience of casting off, and diving into the deep end of adventure.

"I would say better than arcteryx, theirs was weird with noisy fabric and baggy for a medium, when tried them on. Black diamond fit like a glove and room to later as well. Love the pockets and locations for them, easy to get at phone etc."
"Third time Recon buyer, first time bibs. I use the Recon Pant now Bib at least 100 days a year all are lift access touring or freeride. They are durable enough for day to day guiding. Acceptable waterproofness and breathability. I am 6' 165lbs. My regular Levis size is 32/34. I like a loose "freeride" fit but not baggy. The large fit perfectly. The medium were too tight in thigh and chest."
"They really nailed it with the material on both these recon bibs and jacket. It is durable yet soft and stretchy for a shell. The double pockets on the chest offers a great spot for items that you need to grab easily like a phone wallet or quick snacks. Vents down the side work nice to bleed heat after working hard. Same as the recon jacket the zippers are very smooth and easy to work with ski gloves on. The fit is a great medium, not super baggy and not tight allowing easy movement."
"Comfortable, good fit, stretchy around the middle section. The thigh beacon pocket gets used for my cellphone. Would be nice to see a beacon tether in one of the chest pockets."
"These are hands down the best pair of shell bibs I've ever worn. I was immediately impressed by the quality of the material, construction, and seams. I recently worn them on a weekend ski tour of Killington, I was extremely pleased with the comfort, durability and wind protection these bibs offer. They are just as effective and comfortable (not to mention stylish) on long tours in the back country as they are on cold windy days in bounds at your favorite ski area."
"I love that new bib, it is stretchable , so it is comfortable , I choose shell type , it is lighter ."
"Love the leg pocket 3d design Love the front zip easier to put on I love the fit"
"amazing breathable bibs theyre tough as nails too 100$ would recomend these rock"
"After running another brand for the last three years, I researched the several others and landed on these Black Diamond bibs. I am SO STOKED. These are exactly what I was looking for with the quality of the material, the features catered towards touring, the fit is great for me, and I am hyped on the stretch which is what my last set (from a different brand) lacked."
"I bought this bibs as a multipurpose bibs and they work perfectly for everything. I used them for ski touring and they were super breathable. Awesome wind proof for station skiing to. Would absolutely recommend. Only down side is that they don't come in different lengths."
