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.
