What customers are saying

★ 4.7 · 46 reviews

Reviewers call the Men's Recon Stretch Shell a bomber ski shell that blocks wind and keeps them dry through resort days, ski touring and volcano summits, with stretch that makes it easy to move in. They praise the build quality, smooth pit zips and internal pockets big enough for skins. The most common critiques are sizing (some needed to size up), a main zipper that sticks at first and hand pockets that sit under pack straps; one reviewer found the hood small over a ski helmet.

Customers like
  • Windproof and waterproof
  • Stretch for easy movement
  • High-quality construction
  • Smooth, easy pit zips
  • Big internal pockets for skins

Keep in mind
  • Inconsistent sizing; some size up

Reviews

Solid!

"Just received, and looking forward to testing out in the snow! Very pleased with the fit, substantial feel, and detailing. The fabric is stretchy, quiet, and has a nice soft hand. Medium fits me perfectly over a mid-weight down jacket. (I'm 5'-11" and 150 pounds. ) Hood truly is helmet compatible and stays put. Love the loden-moss color, which is even slightly more muted than it appears online. I probably could have done without the powder skirt, but like that it's removable. Maybe I'll get lucky and need it ;)"

— Fritz (5/5)

Amazing kit

"Unfortunately my kit was lost with my boot bag helmet and goggles and gloves. Eyeballing a new kit now Just sux to buy it twice But worth it’s weight in gold Was my new favorite kit and fit me just right Recon Stretch Jacket and bibs were as perfect a kit as peas and carrots!"

— TahoeJoe (5/5)

Excellent jacket

"Excellent jacket. I wore it for the first time summiting the Llaima volcano, and its wind-blocking ability really surprised me."

— JOSÉ M. (5/5)

Great jacket

"Very functional, fits as described and can't wait to shred more with it"

— Michael M. (5/5)

Top of the line!

"I bought this jacket and been using it practicing backcountry skiing Súper confortable with this stretch fabric"

— Justo C. (5/5)

Absolutely Perfect

"This jacket is everything you'd want in a ski shell. Its features are equivalent to other competitors, however the level of quality and execution feels a step above the rest. It keeps me absolutely dry on POW/snowmaking days and gives me confidence when I inevitable eat it in the trees. I paired it with the Recon pants and could not be more pleased with my new kit after a season of use!"

— Erik P. (5/5)

Amazing shell that stands up to elements

"Worn this several times so far for winter skiing/boarding and rainy/windy treks and it’s been amazing. Very durable outer fabric and excellent storage capacity for its class. Amazing at blocking wind and rain."

— Mark E. (5/5)

Durability concerns with otherwise nice jacket

"Love the look and the fit. Lots of functional features and pockets. I am 6'3" and 210 lbs with long arms and the size Large fits me really well. 2 stars due to durability. I have a small tear after second day of use resort skiing. Must have been from a low velocity fall onto snow. Black Diamond has recommended that I repair it myself with tenacious tape, or mail it to them for repair at my own expense. Pretty disappointing for a brand new/high end jacket."

— Dan J. (2/5)

Fit issues but Other than that great

"A bit in between sizes and light in the pocket Dept. other than that great fabric color and style."

— jacques l. (5/5)

Awesome 👍

"Ski 🎿 jacket was a hit, perfect hit, waterproof and blocked the wind."

— Jody F. (5/5)
