Recon Stretch Bibs deliver waterproof performance with stretch for stormy backcountry days
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“These bibs check every box for long storm days or deeper backcountry missions. They’re super comfortable thanks to the stretch fabric and articulated knees, and I love the huge thigh vents for dumping heat on the climb. The pocket layout is smart, and the suspender design stays in place without digging in under a pack.”
When we're chasing powder turns through storm cycles or linking up technical routes in deep snow, we want weatherproof protection that doesn’t restrict movement. That’s exactly what the Black Diamond Recon Stretch Bibs are built for. Fully taped, waterproof, and constructed with four-way stretch, these bibs let us move with confidence while staying dry in heavy snow or wild wind.
With updated patterning and articulated knees, the Recon Stretch Bibs are designed for mobility during skintracks, sidecountry bootpacks, and big mountain descents. Full-length side zips offer easy ventilation, while the suspender system stays put and feels great under packs. Oversized pockets keep our transceivers, snacks, and electronics within reach, and the reinforced insteps stand up to sharp edges and crampon scrapes. These bibs are built for those who earn every turn, no matter the forecast.
