Black Diamond W Recon Insulated Shell

A 3-layer waterproof insulated ski shell built for resort and backcountry skiers who want warmth and storm protection in a single garment, the Women's Recon Insulated Shell from Black Diamond uses BD.dry stretch nylon construction with synthetic insulation mapped for warmth without overheating. The outer face carries a 20,000mm waterproof rating and 20,000g/m²/24hr breathability rating, putting it on par with technical alpine shells in both protection and moisture transport. A PFAS-free DWR finish sheds wet snow at the surface while strategic uninsulated panels manage heat during active skinning or high-output resort laps. The 20,000mm waterproof and 20,000g/m²/24hr breathability combination, delivered through BD.dry 3-layer construction, makes this the appropriate single-piece shell for skiers who want to skip the separate insulating layer.
