Black Diamond W Recon LT Stretch Shell
A lightweight, durable jacket with three-layer protection and minimalist features for winter adventures.
The Recon LT Stretch Shell from Black Diamond is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a lightweight yet durable jacket for their adventures in the snow. This three-layer jacket offers reliable protection and is specifically designed for demanding conditions. Compared to its sister model, the Recon Stretch Shell, the LT version has a slightly slimmer cut, which provides an improved fit without compromising freedom of movement. The fabric consists of a lightweight ripstop material that, combined with waterproof BD.dry™ technology, offers excellent protection from the elements.
The Recon Stretch LT Shell’s minimalist design includes two backpack-compatible hand pockets that offer plenty of space for essential items such as gloves, a hat, or a headlamp. The ski-helmet-compatible hood is another well-thought-out detail that provides extra protection in bad weather.. Weighing just 141 g/m² and made from 40d stretch nylon (93% nylon, 7% spandex), the jacket impresses with its lightness and durability.
