| John & Peter at the Strafe Headquarters |
John & Peter Gaston have been turning heads with their new outerwear all season. From ski base jumps to freeride comps, this brand is taking over the industry. We have seen many athletes rocking the "ski tracks" all season in the videos, competitions, and mountain towns all over the US. We were blessed to get our hands on a "SickBird Oney" (available in Fire, Chlorine, and Stealth) this past week. The team was stoked to get out into the snow with the Strafe brand. We had three people in the suit this week for a combined 5,000 vert uphill, 7,500 vert downhill, and 3 hours on a sled. This suit is like Teflon for the back country. We would know....we live in the back country.

"This suit not only made the wind a 'non-issue' but it has enough flex and warmth for a 3 hour uphill with just base layers underneath. The waterproofing is like a submarine and the TPC (total pocket count) is right up my alley as a back country kid. I have been in some pretty bad situations and I'm sure if I had Strafe on...it would have helped with the cold, wind, and storage."

"For a person my size (6'3"), I look for flex, storage, and functionality. The flex is truly awesome. I walked uphill with no drag, snags, or 'red flags.' I enjoy the pockets and storage but for my large hand it could be a bit bigger ("NOW YOU CAN FIT A DEAD FISH INTO EACH POCKET" --- that statement came right out of Peter Gaston's mouth). Overall I am satisfied with Strafe and I think it's time to get out of this Patagucci and into some real stuff"

"It's like, the best jacket and pants I have ever bought for the crazy stuff I like to do. It works....it's that simple. It's waterproof, windproof, sealed, big, and functional. After years traveling all over trying products out, Strafe is the best thing I have used in the past season. Every time I strap on skins....I strap on Strafe."
