Black Diamond Recon Insulated Pants

The resort pant that actually fits.

Most insulated ski pants are built for bulk, not movement. The Recon is the exception — BD.dry 2L waterproofing with lightweight synthetic insulation and a stretch fit that works with your body instead of against it. Warm enough for cold Sierra resort days, flattering enough that you'll want to wear them off the hill too.

This is the pant for women who ski lift-accessed terrain and want warmth, weather protection, and a fit that doesn't look like a marshmallow suit. If you're touring, look at the PowSlayer or Stormstride instead.

Best for: Resort skiing, sidecountry, cold bluebird days, chairlift laps.

Not for: High-output skinning — the insulation will overheat you on the uptrack.

Fit: Stretchy and flattering through the hip. True to size.
