The Recon Insulated Shell is a women's ski jacket from Black Diamond that pairs a 2-layer waterproof, breathable membrane with synthetic insulation, so it works as a single outer layer on cold lift days. The fabric has a bit of stretch (about 15% elastane) and the cut is built for movement on skis. It sits in the middle of the ski-jacket market: less insulated than a dedicated puffy, more weatherproof than a softshell, and lighter than most resort parkas at around 60 oz. Reviewers tend to like the weather protection and freedom of movement; some find the insulation modest for deep cold and the fit trim through the shoulders.

Owners describe the Recon as a solid one-and-done ski shell that blocks wind and snow and lets them move. The main complaints are that it runs warm only on moderate days and fits snugly through the upper body.
