Why We Like The Black Diamond Recon Insulated Pant
Whether we are riding in bounds or out, the Black Diamond Recon Insulated Pant is a must-have for chilly winter days. Built with a 2-layer BD.dry waterproof and breathable membrane, the Recon Insulated Pant has us covered in the deepest of powder. The four-way stretch face fabric allows us to maintain superior mobility when carving through the trees, and Thermolite zoned insulation gives us strategically-placed insulation for the best combination of warmth, breathability, and freedom of movement. The cuffs have a quarter-length zipper for easy boot access, and reinforced instep patches protect the pants from rocks and ski edges. The articulated knees and seat give us a proper fit when shredding down the mountain, and the gusseted construction allows for optimal freedom of movement. Finally, offset side thigh zippers allow us to increase our airflow and let off excess heat when we get too hot, while the high-mounted snow gaiters ensure the snow stays out of our pants.

Bueno!
These pants are like a cozy, warm hug for your legs, with a dash of James Bond-esque technology thrown in for good measure. First off, let's talk about the weight. These pants are incredibly light weight considering the insulation and durability of the outer layer. Now, let's talk about the vents. Oh, the vents! They're like the air conditioning system of the snow pants world. They let you release all that pent-up heat when you're working up a sweat which can be quickly closed for cold rides on the lift. The stretch in these pants is something else. It's like they were designed by a contortionist. You can twist, turn, and bend in any direction, and these pants will move with you like a well-trained dance partner. They're so flexible, you might just find yourself doing yoga in them. But wait, there's more! The RECCO integration is like having a guardian angel on your side. If you ever find yourself in a sticky situation, this little piece of technology can help rescuers find you. It's like having a personal Bat-Signal, but for snow pants. And let's not forget the insulation. It's like a warm blanket for your legs, but without the bulk. It's just enough to keep you cozy without making you feel like you're wearing a sleeping bag. In conclusion, the Black Diamond Insulated Recon snow pants are a marvel of modern engineering. They're light, well-built, stretchy, and come with a side of high-tech safety features. If you're looking for a pair of snow pants that can keep up with your adventures, look no further. These pants are the real deal. The only thing I’d like is some cargo pockets cause I’m a 90s kid like that.

Sweet Lift Access pants
These add the warmth I was looking for for lift skiing in the mountains. Warmer but still really light feeling. I like that if I do a boot pack hike out of bounds I can unzip the legs and dump heat. They are looser fitting than I like, actually baggy like old school pants. If I made a change I’d take them in and lose some legs pant rub noise when booting up. These are really nice pants for ripping around the resort.

Very nice pants
The fit is perfect for me. L 5'11" -195#. The built in belt is a very nice feature and there is a bit of extra room in the waist to tuck in your base layer or a vest.

Sizing issues
When ordering, I sized down after reading other reviews saying the pants run big. I am 6' 170lbs with a 32 X 32 pant size. I ordered a Medium and the pants are comically too large and boxy. When spending good money on gear marked as high performance technical wear, it should fit properly. I will be returning.

Functional and warm
Warmer than it appears, fits perfectly. I like the deep pockets, and inner pouches. Fits my needs perfectly. This is better than I expected.

Warm & Functional
These pants have just the right level of insulation for resort days in the Canadian Rockies. The additional belt loops are a nice in additional to the built in belt system. The material seems strong so far and takes some abuse.

Great pants for snowy mountain sports
I wear these with the matching jacket for skiing, snowboarding, and ice climbing and they’re great for being warm but not too warm during high output activities in freezing conditions. Love how secure the elastic cuffs are over my boots and appreciate the pockets to keep things dry and warm like my phone or wallet. I got a small and I’m 5’5” and 125lb. The waist fits well if I cinch the built in belt down. The legs are a little long for me but at 5’5” it’s pretty impossible to find anything that fits perfectly so I’m not complaining. The length is only really a problem if I’m wearing tennis shoes while driving to the mountains though and I can roll the elastic cuff up over the excess pant just fine. Looks a little wonky but gets the job done. Overall I’m a huge fan and don’t think I’ll need another pair of snow pants for quite some time.

Little warmer, little happier
I wanted ski pants that provided a little more warmth than my goretex shell pants. These do the job great! Little warmer, little happier. The quality is top notch. Great zips!
