From Black Diamonds Desk:

Last winter, BD athlete and snowboarding legend John Jackson needed to put some time and testing into a new kit. So, what better venue to push the product’s abilities than Alaska. We packed our bags and hustled to the north just as a storm cleared and with the camera rolling, John J. let it fly. Get stoked for winter and check out the fruits of John J’s labor—the Black Diamond Recon Stretch Pro Shell & Bibs.
