By Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Why We Like The Recon Stretch Ski Shell
The Black Diamond Recon Stretch Ski Shell is a remarkable ski jacket that defies the odds by combining stretchiness with weather protection in the harshest winter conditions. Whether you're gliding through deep backcountry powder or skinning through a snowfall, this jacket keeps you shielded from the elements.
What sets the Recon Stretch apart from other ski jackets is its innovative design that incorporates four-way stretch fabric into a durable and waterproof membrane. This fabric not only offers excellent flexibility but is also breathable, making it ideal for intense ski sessions and facing face shots with ease.
One of the features we absolutely love about this shell is the presence of ventilation zippers located under each arm. These zippers allow you to regulate your body temperature and airflow when you start feeling too warm, ensuring maximum comfort during your skiing adventures. Additionally, the helmet-compatible hood and removable powder skirt offer complete coverage and protection from the cold and wetness when needed.
Key Features:
- Ski shell designed for demanding skiers seeking optimal performance
