It is almost impossible for ski companies to include elastic material in the body of skis which really protects against winter weather, but Recon Stretch Ski Shell from Black Diamond doesn't seem to let the snow through while we are driving through deep, loose snow.
Unlike most ski jackets Recon Stretch features 4-way stretch fabric and a waterproof, breathable membrane which protects you from snow, no matter whether you are skiing during snowfall or skiing taking pictures of the face. We like it that there are ventilation zippers under each arm in case if you get too hot, also a hood suitable for a helmet and a removable down skirt that will protect you if you get too cold or wet.
