Is the Recon Stretch Shell waterproof?

Yes. It is listed as waterproof with a hood and a powder skirt, so it handles snow and rain on the hill.

What is the best price right now?

$299.40 at Steep & Cheap as of November 6, 2026, with 4 stores selling it new. That is above the recent daily range of $202.50 to $249.50.

How does the fit run?

It is a relaxed, hip-length cut. Most buyers take their usual size, but slimmer builds may want to size down.

Does it have a powder skirt?

Yes. It has a powder skirt and pit-zip ventilation, which suits resort skiing and snowboarding.

A nylon, polyester and spandex weave with a mesh lining. The spandex is what gives it the stretch.
