Black Diamond Recon

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Black Diamond Recon Insulated Pants charge through storm cycles with a calm, purpose-built stance. A 3-layer BD.dry membrane seals out wet weather, rated at 20K waterproof and 20K breathable performance, while zoned Thermolite insulation, 60g Thermolite T3 EcoMade TL (100% polyester), traps heat where you need it most without overheating. The 4-way stretch shell and articulated knees keep mobility smooth on bootpacks and in tight terrain, and offset side vents help regulate temperature when you’re moving hard. The face fabric is 85% nylon and 15% elastane with a PFC-free DWR, and the lining is 100% nylon ripstop for durability beneath your layers.

On the body, the regular fit sits right over baselayers and under a shell without sagging. It carries the essentials in zippered thigh pockets and keeps an electronics sleeve close at hand, while built-in snow gaiters seal out fresh powder. RECCO integration adds an extra layer of safety as conditions shift from bluebird cruisers to powder days.

These pants speak to a mountaineering mindset that values warmth, protection, and movement as a single story. The Recon pairs with technical layers for a complete mountain look that travels from resort laps to backcountry days with ease.
