True to size and stretches
True to size and stretches in the right places. There's enough room underneath to layer with the other BD pieces I own. I bought the green to stay visible on dull days. Superior quality. Really impressed.

Great fit and feel!
Awesome shell with pockets for all of the things! The snow/water fall right off this thing. Highly recommend this shell!

replacement of patagonia pow slayer jacket
Got this BD recon pro jacket to replace my patagonia pow slayer jacket, 6', buck 3/4 lbs, size large, fits great, at least as good as my pow slayer, looking forward to wearing it in storm conditions next winter (true test).

Great tech piece!!
Runs a little big, would not call it trim fit or athletic fit at all, but everything else about it is incredible!!

Thoughtful design results in a great ski shell
I recently went from a more traditional ski jacket to this shell and have no regrets. The BD Dry material is great and works as advertised. It is lightweight and breathable, but it doesn't have that "crunchy" feel that comes with many waterproof shells. The design is well thought out, with the less flexible shell portion and the more soft shell style strategically placed to both maximize weather protection and mobility. Additional details, like the removable powder skirt, internal mesh pockets and vents that are easy to zip open or closed, show that the designer paid attention to detail. Finally, I love the fit and look, and isn't how you look on the aki slipe half the battle... All in all this is a great ski shell and worth the cost.

Doesn't Hold Up
Had the Jacket for less than 6 months with a handful of times skiing. Already Has small tear on coat. My other Ski jackets have held up longer

Sturdy, lots of features and fits well
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Runs large. I'm a 40R jacket, usually a medium but the small fit better. Beefier jacket than all the other 3L 20k ones i tried. Would like deeper inside pockets, but the rest of them are well placed and right sized

Durable and functional
This is a heavy shell made to withstand daily use. It has just enough features for my needs and provides sufficient wind and water protection, too.
