Strafe Highlands Jacket

COLD CHAIRLIFTS, LONG HIKES.

 

If you've been to Aspen Highlands in the dead of Winter you know how cold those 2 chairlift rides can be first thing in the morning, having just a shell on won't cut it.  But you're heading to the top to hike up the bowl and the snowcat isn't running yet so that hike just got twice as long and you have to break trail, a jacket with breathability is going to be crucial.  It's days like this that inspired Strafe to make the Highlands jacket.  With the most breathable fabric and insulation in the game you'll be warm when you need to be and dry all the time.  If you do start to get to warm the Highlands jacket has extra large pit zips to let plenty of cooler air in.

We love Aspen Highlands and the Highlands jacket it's one of the most technical pieces we carry.

Fit

The Highlands is a standard fitting jacket that is designed to have layers underneath it.  The jacket should look loose if you just have a t-shirt on underneath.     

Style

Strafe's jacket is a 3 Layer waterproof and breathable Polartec Neo Alpha Jacket.  

Performance Level

Polartec Neo Shell's are known for outstanding breathability.  The Highlands Jacket is great for those that are on the hill working hard and breaking a sweat as it will allow the moisture to escape better than Gore.  The Level of wind protection is fantastic, the only downside to Polartec Neoshell jacket is they are not quite as waterproof.  But you need to ask yourself if you're really skiing when it's raining.

Insulation

Strafe uses Polartec Alpha for insulation in the Highlands jacket for unmatched breathability.  The difference between traditional insulation and Polartec Alpha is that Polartec's insulation allows moisture to escape while keeping the heat in.  The result is an insulated jacket that feels way less clammy.  

Pockets

Two Napoleon Pockets; one with pass through access and two zippered hand pockets.  There are also two large mesh pockets on the interior of the jacket - great for goggles or skins.

Venting

Pit zips with a tab big enough to pull yourself so you don't have to be that guy on the chairlift asking to have your pit zips zipped or unzipped.

Additional Awesomeness

Asymmetrical front zipper looks cool and different but also has great functionality.  If you are like us and tuck your face into your jacket when it's cold and the wind is blowing not having the zipper right in front of your mouth is awesome.  Warmer face and your tongue doesn't get stuck to the zipper.
