Black Diamond W Recon LT Stretch Shell

A lightweight ski and mountain shell for women who want full waterproof protection without sacrificing the mobility that technical terrain demands, the Black Diamond Women's Recon LT Stretch Shell uses BD.dry 3L construction at 93% nylon and 7% elastane (141gsm) with a 20,000mm waterproof and 20,000g/m2/24hr breathability rating that places it in the technical performance tier. PFAS-free DWR treatment and a hydrophilic membrane keep external moisture out while moving vapor through, and the four-way stretch construction follows the body through high-arm moves and steep bootpacks without restricting range of motion. Pack-compatible hand pockets and a helmet-compatible hood complete a shell that transitions from lift-served terrain to sidecountry approaches without requiring a separate touring-specific layer. The 141gsm face fabric and 20,000mm/20,000g rating make the Women's Recon LT Stretch Shell the appropriate choice for technical alpine objectives above treeline where weather protection and freedom of movement must coexist.
