Blackdiamond offers a wide range of gear, from climbing and backcountry gear to trekking gear. In the backcountry field, they have a strong presence, especially in their avalanche gear, and are highly trusted and supported by BC enthusiasts
Blackdiamond's featured model for the 2022-23 season is the Men's Recon Stretch LT Shell & Pants
A 3L setup that combines lightness and durability with minimalist functionality
The Men's Recon Stretch LT Shell and Pants are Blackdiamond's lightest shell and pants. By limiting functionality to the bare essentials, they've succeeded in making them lighter. Lighter means faster, easier movement
Backcountry tours require you to adapt to a wide range of natural terrain, from climbing to skiing and even avoiding danger, and involve a wide range of activities and a high level of physical activity. Therefore, it is extremely important that the clothing you wear is light and easy to move in
This set features a 3-layer construction that combines lightness and durability. Pursuing lightness, it's not only lightweight, but also highly stretchable thanks to the use of 4-way stretch fabric. Blackdiamond's proprietary waterproof and breathable membrane "BD Dry" provides waterproofing, while the ripstop material makes it highly durable
Both the shell and pants are designed to be lighter than Blackdiamond's classic Recon Stretch Ski Shell and Pants

Lightweight yet with all the necessary details
Both the shell and pants are lighter than the Recon Stretch Ski Shell and Pants, which are considered Blackdiamond's standard, but still retain all the necessary details and functionality
The shell features ventilation, essential for backcountry skiing, convenient hand pockets for storing gloves or a beanie without having to take off the backpack, and a helmet-compatible hood. The pants also feature a pocket for a beacon, reinforced patches at the hem, and loops for attaching snow gaiters and a shell. The knees are draped for increased mobility and improved performance
The design is simple yet stylish. The Blackdiamond logo on the chest of the shell shows off the pride of alpinists. The shell comes in four colors and the pants in three, making it fun to coordinate with your pants
