Black Diamond

Recon Insulated Shell - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This jacket is my go-to for mid-winter ski tours and cold resort laps. It’s warm without feeling bulky, vents well on the skin track, and has the durability to take some serious use."

When bitter temps and deep snow are on the menu, we turn to the Black Diamond Recon Insulated Shell to stay warm and ready to charge. Built for sub-zero ski tours and storm-day lift laps, this shell brings together durable 2-layer protection with mapped insulation that traps body heat without compromising breathability.

Inside, Thermore’s recycled synthetic fill delivers lightweight warmth in key zones, while pit zips allow for fast heat dump when the sun pops or you hit a high-output climb. Thoughtfully laid-out pockets include skin-sized drop pockets, a ski pass sleeve, and an internal stash for goggles or gloves. Whether worn alone or layered over a puffy, the Recon is built to go deep into winter.
